👟 Girls' Athletic Shoes: New Balance KJ888V1 Pre Running Shoes Review

I bought them because they said "orthopaedically recommended". It didn't disappoint. It's super comfortable. This is still my favorite pair of shoes to this day. I plan on getting a few more and possibly gifting other family members. I gave my husband a pair when I got my own and he loves them. I just wish they'd also made a style where it's laceless and no laces.

For some reason New Balance is the only athletic shoe company on the planet that makes big kid shoes in large widths. I am so thankful for that, otherwise my 10 year old son would have been forced to go barefoot. This is his favorite brand and style of shoe. He usually just buys a pair and wears them every day until they wear out (they last 6-8 months).

I've been buying a New Balance 888xw for my granddaughter for 3 years. She switched from orthopedic SMO to UCB but still needs XW. These shoes always fit great right out of the box. The inserts can be removed for more legroom. I liked their color - gray with pink, and I bought the size you had in stock. They are too big but my granddaughter will grow up in them. I just wish they would suggest other colors for the 888xw tie.
