Review on New Balance Girls 680V5: Top-Performance Running Shoes for Active Girls by Carlos Phillips

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Baby likes nice shoes, mom likes orthotics that fit them

Any parent of a child who wears orthotics (SMO, AFO, etc.) knows how impossible it is to XW- to find shoes. . Not to mention the cute and normal looking XW sneakers that actually fit well and are easy to slip on and off. I was blown away by the variety of colors and the fact that there are youth sizes up to 7 XW. Of course I immediately ordered two different pink and gray and pink. yes 3 pairs My teenage daughter is in love with these shoes and won't take them off even though they're summer sneakers and winter is in full swing here. I was able to purchase all three pairs for about $20 each, which in itself is a miracle. Not sure how they hold up as I've seen some negative reviews but I think we'll find out. I'm still very happy that I can buy 3 pairs for the price of one. Tip: First choose your child's size and then look for available color options in that specific size. For some reason my daughter's size 6.5 XW Big Kid was underneath. both the Little Kid and Big Kid categories. If I only went for Big Kid I would only have one color option in her size. Looking at Little Kid I found a few more colors in her regular Big Kid size 6.5 XW.

Pros
  • Leather/mesh upper
