Review on New Balance Rainbow Toddler Girls' Athletic Shoes for Running by Nick Owens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for demanding and hard-to-please toddlers.

School told my new preschooler who lives in crocs and slippers because he said his feet hurt all over should have velcro tennis shoes for gym class! So what was I up to!?! I knew that New Balance made shoes for adults in wide, extra wide and bigger, so I decided to start with that. and I'm lucky! Finally my toddler has a pair of traditional tennis shoes that he says fit his feet well. Based on a not so scientific "mother test" I think he has a little more room in his toe box but I also increased the size by 1 because it's summer and he's still 2 months away from school. Also, I figured he could just wear thick socks with them if they were too big. Conclusion: New Balance shoes are durable and comfortable. But most importantly - I needed a very wide pair of velcro tennis shoes that my son would actually wear and this is the only brand I could find that could supply them for me - it was just a bonus that they were that good look. and well made from a reliable brand. I am very happy! (My son is 5.5 and has a 7 inch foot and I bought the 12.5 extra wide. I think the wides would probably fit too, but I'm so tired of him complaining - he even says socks are tight and bother him - I just bought the widest option available). And I am very happy with this purchase!

Pros
