Review on New Balance Lace Up Running Velocity Girls' Shoes at Athletic by Gelin Battle

I bought these shoes for my 3 year old who was a size 10.5W. They fit as expected. I didn't know little kids had shoelaces, that's my fault. In the past when we received NB shoes for toddlers they used Velcro or elastic laces for that size. It's my fault for not reading the description, I was just guessing. In the photo, the laces are tucked into the boot. I will be ordering the purple laceless ones for her here on Amazon. All in all I can't complain I got them on sale and they are very good quality. They are very cute and my little one loves them! They are easy to combine with her outfit in this gray color and the combination of turquoise and purple is very pretty. If you have a toddler and order these just note that they have laces. Search "baby shoelaces without laces" here on Amazon if you're like me and don't want to deal with toddler shoelaces. It should be noted that the toe area is reinforced with fabric at the front. I like that the material of the sock does not wear out! They are lightweight and the wide ones are perfect for wide little feet! I was worried the heel would be too high but that wasn't a problem. New Balance shoes are very good for kids, that's why we buy them. We even wash our kids' New Balance sneakers on a gentle cycle and let them air dry and never had a problem. I would definitely buy them again in the next size up if needed, they are so cute!
