Top Performance Unisex New Balance KJ990V4 Running Shoe for Kids Review

I bought these because I've bought NB for my son a number of times over the years but the gray mesh paint on them is an odd shimmery ice slate with a hint of blue hue. Not what I expected and for $75! (Which I wasted just because it's bloody hard to find tall boy shoes anywhere, let alone a nice neutral color that goes with everything, so I bought them when I found them).

I really like the shoes but I ordered the light gray 990 V4 which is the size my son usually wears and the shoes were like a half size 2, small (length). I went back to order the next size up and they were sold out. I ended up ordering the NB 888 in Dark Gray (Magnet) and they are even better with better support than the newer 990.

I am a 73 year old breast cancer survivor of almost 9 years and am only 4ft 11" and wear a 3-1/2 XW baby shoe. I was thrilled to find pink Big Kids size shoes that fit me perfectly. It has extra depth so I can use the Alegria insole to protect my legs that have lost muscle due to a chemo side effect. I walk or go to cancer survival classes!
