biodegradable good for me

As other reviewers have pointed out, we bought two pairs of different sizes, which fell apart after about two months. Both have huge tears at the top of the forefoot where the shoe flexes as you walk, and the outsole is also falling apart. We've bought New Balance a few times and have generally been happy with their quality, but these two are complete rubbish. Like someone sabotaged their supply chain or something.

Pros
  • Bought for my grandson, he has wide feet and they are comfortable for him. I bought him several pairs of this brand and style.
Cons
  • The lower gum has already fallen off - I took it in September, and now it's only November. They should have lasted much longer.

Run fast! good for me

Bought these for my grandson who has wide feet. They fit him really well, a tie was a bonus as it was on his requirement list!

Pros
  • Looks great. Very convenient.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for children with wide feet.

Low quality is the best in my rating

After a month of wearing, the sides started tearing and putting holes. My kids always wear new running shoes, but I have to look for better ones.

Pros
  • Got it for my little one and she can wear them anywhere with all her outfits matching them. Beautiful colors..
Cons
  • The insole of the shoe may not provide adequate arch support.

Disintegrates after 2 months

These shoes fall apart after 2 months of normal use. That's not what we expect from New Balance. The inside of the sole has worn down as I would expect after a year of use and the bottom of the shoe is actually peeling off. The quality is terrible!

Pros
  • It took a long time to find shoes that fit my daughter and it was a win!
Cons
  • The shoe material may not be strong enough for active children.

New balance for girls

I love the brand, my daughter says they are very comfortable, the only thing I don't like is the strap, she wants the laces but they are ok!

Pros
  • These shoes look beautiful and they fit my son perfectly.
Cons
  • The sole of the shoe may not provide adequate traction on various surfaces.

Lasted 6 weeks and broke

These shoes tore at several critical structural seams (as did other reviews I had to listen to). Bought these a month ago and the toe is already coming apart. Really disappointed for the brand and price point.!

Pros
  • It's hard to find shoes that work with AFO, but they're great. Our 7 year old can put them on the AFO by himself.
Cons
  • Bought a month ago and the sock is already falling apart. Very disappointed with the brand and the price.

For my grandson in my review

He insists that all shoes are wide. From this brand I buy very widely and it is very convenient for me. There were no more velcro straps on the top as that helped. It's good for his legs and I don't hear any complaints.

Pros
  • Good shoes, good fit and reasonable price. The delivery was very quick. Thanks.
Cons
  • Began to fall apart after a month and a half of use

Perfect sneakers in my review.

I bought them in a wide width because my grandson has wide feet and has a really hard time finding shoes and they fit him perfectly. He loved her

Pros
  • They are perfect for my wide footed son. New Balance shoes always keep us going throughout the school year. Excellent quality!
Cons
  • Shoes may not provide enough support for children with flat feet.

In my opinion not true to size

Ordered together with other New Balance sneakers. The other sneakers are still worn over a month later and are very comfortable. These don't fit at all. Didn't even have time to put them on and missed the return window.

Pros
  • I like you, it's worth it.
Cons
  • The overall shoe design may not be suitable for children who require orthopedic insoles.

great shoes in my opinion

NB very comfortable, light, stylish style, great price on sale Always fits the perfect size Just shows I buy Torn up in 2 months.

Pros
  • My son hates shoes but loves these. I tied her up and he just undresses her while tying her up. Perfect and sporty with a cool look.
Cons
  • Broke within 2 months

Too small: my rating

Ordered these to pass my son's AFO. Unfortunately they were the same size as his old pair despite being listed a size larger so we couldn't use them.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Shoes may not provide enough cushioning for children who jump frequently.

Design flaw: my review

When I first saw them where the mesh attaches to the toe I had a feeling it was going to tear. It didn't look right. Of course he broke up. Disappointing!

Pros
  • My son wears very wide shoes so it is very difficult to find his size. These shoes fit perfectly! Very satisfied!
Cons
  • Shoes can cause pain or discomfort in the feet after prolonged use.

Terrible quality! good for me

My son has been wearing these shoes for a week and they are falling apart. The seams came undone and the laces snapped as I tied them. Very disappointed in their quality. So far I have never been disappointed with New Balance shoes. We would like to come back

Pros
  • Very comfortable shoes. Feels good on feet. Cozy and safe.
Cons
  • My son only wore them to gym class for about 3 months.

Didn't hold up well for me

After about a month, the seams on both outer edges began to diverge, and after 2 months, holes appeared on both fingers. We often buy New Balance sneakers, but this is not the quality we are used to.

Pros
  • They are comfortable for my nephew. It was his first pair of New Balance shoes. No complaints yet.
Cons
  • The seams of shoes can easily unravel after a short period of wear.

Pronation gone! the best shoes

Wow what a difference between shoes. He studied pronation in children and shoes that help correct it. NB 680v6 has been recommended on various sites.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged

Wide toe, "leather " toe guard, heel counter, what don't like

Tired of "sock boots" disguised as shoes and falling apart in a few weeks. These are old-fashioned children's shoes with protection and grip in all the right places. New Balance has always had a wide toe box and this shoe expands that to almost altra-level width, which is perfect for our kid.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • safety

Did not last

We received the shoes on August 29th and they look like this in less than two months. My 9 year old loves wearing the same shoes every day and playing in the school yard. But that's disappointing. And I bought New Balance because of its wide feet. But I will not buy this model again.

Pros
  • Clothing, shoes and jewelry
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Child Comfort

Bought these for my nieces and they love the way their feet feel in them. They said it felt like walking on a soft pillow. Your feet won't hurt and they can be worn anytime throughout the day. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend all parents and guardians to purchase for their children. You will not regret it.

Pros
  • Athletic
Cons
  • No Performance

Perfect shoes for the school program

My daughter needed all-black, non-slip tennis shoes for her life skills class. She is only 4 feet 7 inches tall and her feet are 3.5 inches wide. Most non-slip women's shoes start at size 5 for adults. It was a good shoe choice for her as she already has a white pair. The black pair is a bit lighter so I hope they hold up well. Your orthopedic insoles also fit well.

Pros
  • Shoes
Cons
  • Discontinued
