New Balance Girls 680V5: Top-Performance Running Shoes for Active Girls Review

I love these shoes. Bought these after we had a pair of Target "rite transition shoes" that broke after 3 days! My daughter can't even walk, so she has no problem with shoes. Also, her legs are so small, a size 3. So it was difficult to find something for her that wasn't cheap and didn't look like cardboard. These are quality shoes, the same quality as the adult version. Also, I feel like they help her balance and learn to walk better than if we'd just settle for a pair of flimsy cardboard…

Bought these for my 7 year old son. In just 3 weeks each piece falls apart. I've seen homeless people with shoes in better shape. In 3 damn weeks. The laces are torn, the holes are broken, the velcro is torn. They call it. I understand that my child is not the gentlest of creatures, but these are children's shoes. So if your kid is in a coma, or is wheelchair bound, or will only carry them on the couch while watching TV, then that's cool. If they're the type you know, run and play, then look…

After visiting all the shoe stores in my area, I took a chance and ordered this one. I couldn't find a high arch/wide width for my 7 year old in any store! They fit PERFECTLY and are exactly the width we wanted but have velcro closure and are a solid shoe. So far they're holding up well for the playground and hiking, but I'll definitely order another pair to stock up 👍🏻

I like that. They are prettier in person, love the red and black combo, my kid loves them and people love them when he wears them. Good bye

Finally shoes that stand up to the daily activities of a preschooler! great fit! Color goes with everything. Easy to turn on and off for my granddaughter. and above all a good fit with good support but not a heavy shoe!

My daughter only wore your shoes for 3 hours at half-day school. could you explain I was embarrassed from my daughter's school and very disappointed in the poor quality of your shoes.

Bought these for our 8 year old daughter who is tall and stocky. They look great, are well cared for and are perfect for school, basketball and running in the yard.

I love these shoes for my 13 month old baby. She has a slightly lower muscle tone and these are great first shoes for her. They give more stability and confidence which was great when we were learning to stand and walk. Not to mention they are so damn cute on their little feet!

I really like the quality of these New Balance sneakers and the price didn't break the bank. The extra wide fit is perfect for my toddler's wide feet and I don't need a shoehorn. It's not easy to find a wide shoe in a size 3, so finding a very wide shoe was great and I wasn't disappointed.

Excellent cushioning with removable insole lining. Bought extra wide and they are very wide as expected having bought some extra wide NB boots. They hold up well to a lot of dirt, walking and general wear and tear. The length specification also corresponds to our expectations of a normal size. Bought turquoise and it's so bright. Excellent support shoe!

My child is very active and wears sketchers constantly for a few months. This is the first show to last the entire first half of the school year. She wears them too and they are almost new. They may cost a little more, but are totally worth it.

I love the NB sneakers for my daughter who has wide feet. They always fit best and tend to be roomier so I don't have to look for a bigger shoe for them.

This is the 5th pair of NBs I'm buying for my girl because I love their quality and durability. But this time I am very disappointed. She had only worn them for a few hours and her socks had turned pink because of the lining. Judging by other reviews this often happens with the steel/pink model but even if I had read these reviews before buying I would still order because I trust the brand. Incorrect. Now I have to go through the return process without the extra nursery shoes.

My 8 year old only wears New Balance and only in this style. In fact, he had that exact color combination for 2 years! He can tie his shoelaces and wear sneakers, but he always likes this style. This style fits as expected, so no guesswork on my part. It has different New Balance styles and the size was different. It will be difficult when he outgrows this pair and will change all the time. 🙂

My daughter is going through a major growth spurt and is now a women's size 6.5. This is actually a women's size 8 (I bought a child's size 6). I had to send them back, I really wanted them to fit.

My son loves them and seems very stable in them. He calls them "Big Boy Shoes" because they're just like dads. I love that they are so easy to put on and take off. I think they are a bit big so I would suggest going 1/2 the size down.

My son loves these shoes. They are very durable and can withstand its roughness. ;-) Would I buy again. The new balance lasts for a while!

I only buy new sneakers for my children because they have very wide feet. New Balance is the only shoe brand where I can find extra wide sizes for toddlers. These shoes fit my daughter's feet comfortably and are durable. Since these shoes are a bit expensive, I literally just buy one pair of shoes for my kids and they walk until they grow up. My youngest also has very wide feet so he wears shoes that 2 other kids have been through as their only pair of shoes and they still look good (a bit worn

When buying a brand like New Balance I expected quality. The shoes look cute, but that's about it. My daughter wore them for 4 hours, walked very little as we were in the stroller with her. She took them off and her white socks turned completely PINK! The inner lining color has been transferred to her new socks! So disappointed! I hope people see this and think twice before buying them!

I bought these to replace a pair of sketchers that only lasted a couple of weeks. My 6 year old has been wearing them for a few months now and they are holding up well. They are also cute and comfortable for her.
