Too expensive and wrong color

I bought these because I've bought NBs for my son a number of times over the years, but the gray mesh paint on them is an odd shimmery ice slate with hints of blue. Not what I expected and for $75! (which I only spent 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).

Pros
  • 990's are always great as they are always very comfortable! Excellent delivery.
Cons
  • Didn't last that long...

This shoe is a large child size 3 but comes with a tag on the retail box that says "small child size 3". Shoe size is 9 3/8 inches long, 3.75 inches wide and 3.75 inches high. The upper of the shoe is made of leather and the laces are functional and do not stretch like the 680 design. It has a front tip, an upper logo and two side logos and a rear logo with reflective material, the light reflects car headlights. Color gray. The heel of the shoe has a hard wall inside that is poorly covered with

Pros
  • The only shoe for my grandson with special needs!
Cons
  • Limited color options

Looks great! Manufactured with high quality

Looks great! Manufactured with quality. This was for my son and he says it's comfortable. He wore it all day and didn't complain. I have the same New Balance and they are so comfortable!

Pros
  • Enjoy them better now. Soon they will move to men's sizes and the price will double, plus a little.
Cons
  • May not provide adequate support for children with certain foot conditions

Very good quality in my rating.

Very good quality and appearance. My child is very picky about their shoes and needs a lot of room for their toes. These extra wide shoes are perfect. No other shoes could be found that fit their needs.

Pros
  • I like the shoes but they weren't the colors I wanted.
Cons
  • The narrow profile may be uncomfortable for children with wider feet.

Seamless socks make mornings easy.

The only shoe my sensitive son finds comfortable. Seamless socks make mornings easy. They're expensive, but they don't wear out before he outgrows them.

Pros
  • Great running shoes
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other running shoes for kids

Fits well. ...! good for me

The front is a little tight, but they fit in easily. 48 hours later and they fit perfectly. 10/10 I will order again if needed.

Pros
  • I love them for my son and they fit him great
Cons
  • I have a width 7 and the sneakers are quite big 😕 I wear 8 on women and they told me to take 7 on big kids (boys) soooo.. yeah!

small, quite expensive

I have 9 year old fraternal twins, one of whom is 92% taller and has big legs for her age. For the past few months she has been watching with envy as her sister got two new pairs of sneakers and a new pair of sandals, so I was happy to try on these shoes in her size for free, or so I thought. She has just received a new pair of tennis shoes from our regular Geox brand, but she needs two pairs, one for everyday use and one specifically for the gym where they cannot be worn outdoors. She was very

Pros
  • The New Balance 990 has been my favorite tennis shoe for years.
Cons
  • Not suitable for outdoor activities due to the light sole.

Good and strong in my rating

Great product Well made very durable Not that light but for my boy they last 7-8 months instead of normal athletic shoes which last him about 3 months before tearing them apart.

Pros
  • I liked them because I put my own insoles, but the one that came with it didn't provide any comfort.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children with wider feet

The perfect shoe for breast cancer survivors

I am 73 years old, have been survivors of breast cancer for almost 9 years, am only 4ft 11" and wear 3-1/2 XW booties. I was thrilled to find a pink Big Kids shoe that fit me perfectly. extra deep so I can use the Alegria insole to protect my legs which have lost muscle due to a side effect of chemotherapy

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Good shoes but not wide enough for my son. Bought in width, just not enough width.

They were comfortable and my son loves them

Unlike the photo, these shoes have laces, not velcro. The shoes still worked for my son but it wasn't what we expected and at this age shoelaces can be a hindrance for all day wear. However, they were comfortable and my son loves them.

Pros
  • The best children's shoes will be ....
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children requiring orthopedic insoles.

he fits -- my new rating

My wife wears small shoes. Thanks to Foot Locker salesperson Laurel MC, she was introduced to your product. That fits well. She bought two pairs and would like to buy another pair, but she can't find the product anywhere. Please advise. Thanks!

Pros
  • Love it. They are light, not very tight and have real laces. My daughter is 3 years average height and wears an 8c.
Cons
  • May not be appropriate for certain occasions or dress code

I liked the pink better than I thought

Made in Taiwan. I thought New Balance would make over 900 shoes in America, but I was wrong. I know for a fact that some New Balances are made in the USA. Pink Live is much nicer than in the picture. I was surprised how much I liked her. They offer excellent arch support and are very comfortable. The sole is durable yet flexible and the shoe is lightweight. I recommend these shoes for long periods, hiking and other activities you have. Really well done. A small helpful note on the inside of the

Pros
  • That fits well
Cons
  • May not be as durable as other brands

not a single support in my rating.

when i was looking for nb shoes with arch support i found these and got them but they are very uncomfortable, rough and without support. they only have a tiny very dry piece of cloth inside them so i had to put this silicone thing inside them so i can walk (they are very pretty but who cares if i can't walk in them for an hour because of pain, by the way they are too wide for a medium fit)

Pros
  • My child has had ankle pain for many years and since wearing this shoe it has greatly reduced.
Cons
  • Difficult to clean due to the suede material

Seems to be a comfortable, supportive shoe

It appears to be a comfortable, supportive shoe. As a grown woman who still has to wear children's shoes, I find it very difficult to find something that fits. I hope New Balance continues to make at least one or two styles that aren't pink and shiny!

Pros
  • I love color!
Cons
  • May not be as stylish or trendy as other children's sneakers.

very good shoes, run a little tight

very nice and well built shoes, but not as wide as others in the same size, a little tight, but very good shoes, a little tight

Pros
  • This shoe is ideal for children who want a wide choice. This is the 6th pair purchased.
Cons
  • May be too difficult for some children

I really like the shoes but I ordered the light gray 990 V4 which is the size my son normally wears and the shoes fell about a half size 2 small off (length). I went back to order a different size 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.

Pros
  • C-Cap Midsole and Heel Plug
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Quality has gone down, prices have gone up v4

I've been buying new sneakers for my kids for a few years now. The new v4 from the 990's just isn't good. The quality has gone down, the fit is different, the shoes fall apart completely in less than 2 months. The stitching is torn, there is a hole in the mesh above the shoe etc. What's really embarrassing is that the cost of these v4s has gone up a lot compared to the v3. When the quality returns I will check it out.

Pros
  • 75% pigskin, 25% mesh
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

The perfect shoe for a breast cancer survivor

I am a 73 year old breast cancer survivor, almost 9 years old, 4ft 11" tall and wear a size 3-1/2 XW children's shoe . I was thrilled to find the pink Big Kids size shoes that fit me perfectly. They're extra deep so I can use the Alegria insole to protect my legs that have lost muscle due to a chemo side effect. Thank you for having these amazing shoes that fit and are comfortable for me. for me when I leave or go to my cancer survivor class!

Pros
  • Rubber sole
Cons
  • I will add later
