Great for narrow feet

My son has very narrow feet, so tightening the laces usually ended in snapped laces or torn shoes. Luckily they allow him to fully tighten the boot with no problem.

Pros
  • This was my first experience with a large system, I think it's really cool
Cons
  • Shoes are overpriced for their quality

Like the shoes. The sole started to peel off after 35 days.

My kid loves these shoes! The problem is that part of the sole peels off after 35 days. I hope it was just something with this couple?!

Pros
  • Good shoes overall good product
Cons
  • The insole is not removable

Great for kids, not as durable as expected

The locking mechanism is simple and ideal for small children. However, the rubber sole on one shoe started cracking/peeling after 3 months. I understand how important longevity is for young children, but I expected more than 3 months for active 5 year olds. That's why I give 3 stars.

Pros
  • I'm so glad I risked these shoes. My grandson loves them and they are in good condition.
Cons
  • The shoe lacks durability and quality construction.

Don't rely on sizing guidelines

Very happy to receive these shoes and we went by their sizing chart. We measured our daughter's foot and ordered what had to fit. When they got here they were too big. So I would advise ordering your size by size. We had to send ours back and Amazon doesn't have the size they really need.

Pros
  • The shoes are easy to clean, making them a practical choice for parents.
Cons
  • In everyday life, the shoes are uncomfortable.

Boa was caught running

This shoe is not suitable for playing children. A month later, holes appeared on the fingers, and after 3 months, the tubercle of the boa constrictor broke off while walking. Unless you're one of those parents who tells their child not to run for fear of tripping and falling, we strongly encourage you to remove those shoes.

Pros
  • Although expensive they were worth it for my boys!
Cons
  • Shoes are not versatile enough for different sports.

Great shoes and love for boas

This was our second pair. The first ones have held up great and my daughter loves them so she got a new pair for Christmas. We had to send one back as the stitching on the underside of the tongue was loose. I'm not sure if I would have survived or not. The replacement pair and the original pair she had did not exhibit this problem.

Pros
  • great all round
Cons
  • The shoes are too heavy for children's shoes

Easy to use and my daughter loves it!

Bought these for my daughter who hates tying her shoelaces! Fits great and got it earlier than expected! Thanks for a great experience!

Pros
  • The price is reasonable for a quality athletic shoe, making it affordable for families on a budget.
Cons
  • Shoes are not suitable for children with sensitive skin or allergies.

They are brittle and keep breaking.

I would not buy them nor recommend them to anyone. They had problems from the start. They were replaced once and the second pair did the same. The button on the side breaks off and you cannot tighten the boot. garbage, be careful. It's hard to believe that NewBalance actually makes these shoes. Maybe they are fakes?

Pros
  • Great sneakers my son loves them for lightness, comfort and style. His boyfriend thinks she's so cool.
Cons
  • The Boa closure system is not sufficiently adjustable.

Already falling apart

Such a cute shoe and my son was so pleased with it but we have just started term and the shoes are starting to fall apart. What a disappointment. Pooh!

Pros
  • The shoes are true to size, so parents can order online with peace of mind.
Cons
  • Shoes don't provide enough cushioning for running.

The show fell apart the best in my rating

This was the third pair of these shoes for my son as he loves them. The previous 2 were amazing and held up great. On this particular pair, the bottom of one boot came off on day 2 of wear. We tried super glue but it didn't last a day.

Pros
  • My daughter loves these shoes! It is very easy to put on and take off by yourself.
Cons
  • Not enough color options to choose from

waited a long time for availability.

I ordered them for my son and he loved them but they were too small and when we returned them they were sold out, I waited a bit for them to come back, we order another style but they were too small, and finally they came available we bought them and they came and my baby loves them they fit great

Pros
  • This shoe is ideal for preschoolers.
Cons
  • Shoes prone to scuffs and scrapes

Just right for a non-stop 9-year-old

We appreciate the crank improvements as the rubber used to wear out very quickly. They are amazingly durable and can take a lot of hard play! We treat all shoes with a water repellent spray to make them last longer!

Pros
  • Bought these for my two sons and they both love them. I think that's because they don't need to be tied.
Cons
  • The product comes in a crumpled shoe box in a plastic bag. The product has no labels. The price is high. The value is low.

Ideal for children with special needs!

It is wonderful! I work with children who have special needs and this is a game changer! I even bought them for my son who has fine motor skills issues (e.g. tying shoelaces). He loves them and brags about them! Have been wearing it almost every day for 3 months now.

Pros
  • My son always prefers these to other shoes and they hold up great. The side tensioner also works great
Cons
  • Shoes are too big for some children

The tension mechanism confuses me but my 8 year old loves it

The tension mechanism confuses me but my 8 year old loves it. I always think they're broken but she seems to be able to fix them, I mean they're not broken and she's just showing me how it works. I didn't really know that was what I was buying, I thought it was just a decoration. I didn't know it's a dial that tightens your shoes. To be honest I probably wouldn't order them if I knew but like I said my daughter thinks they're the coolest thing in the world so I got points I don't know about.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Cool feature for a tie!

My daughter loves these sneakers. She might be 12-12.5 and we bought 13 for her size and they fit her well with a sock. She can turn them on and off very easily and loves blowing them as she is in control. They are light but still wear well. Coral color is very bright and cute for baby. We bought them because her cousin had them and she really liked them and we weren't disappointed! She's also very picky about how her sneakers sit on her toes and says she can wiggle them in them (which is why…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky

As my husband and son have narrow feet and wear NB, I bought a size 11 toddler for an almost 3 year old, too narrow legs. He was very proud of his independence and wore Velcro shoes. He was uncomfortable putting on this style alone, unable to get his foot into the tight top of the sock, then overtightened and unable to press the release button alone, resulting in a collapse. I couldn't present this scenario to his kindergarten teacher or his pregnant mother. However, we liked the color: gray…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
