Review on New Balance Alternative Closure Running Sports & Fitness for Running by Biswaroop Hawkins

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Tears at front toe seam

I bought the exact same shoes for one of my twins last day from The Store on the Upper West Side was open before being forced to close due to the pandemic. This boot tore near the front toe seam in less than two weeks. And with the schools closing two days later, there wasn't as much attrition as is usual for a five-year-old boy. I contacted this store and even though they were closed someone went into the store to try and send me a replacement but they were no longer that size. So I shopped at Revain and ordered the same pair but a half size up (just in case). This time, in less than a week, the seam parted slightly at the top near the front toes. So this seems to be a problem with New Balance. Second pair in two months.

Pros
  • Strength in simplicity: The New Balance 680v6 running shoes for kids have a minimal leather and open mesh upper for flexible support and airflow
Cons
  • thin
