👟 Optimized SEO: New Balance Unisex-Adult Urge v2 Hook and Loop Running Shoe Review

It's almost impossible for me to find shoes that are wide enough for my 2.5 year old. The length and width of their shoes are almost the same, so I can't even close the velcro on "regular" shoes! These shoes are really xw and easy to put on and wear. Thank you NewBalance!

Had to return. Bought wide size. Unfortunately it didn't match my daughter's SMO suspenders. It's not Velcro, so the Velcro doesn't cross the other side of the shoe, i.e. the strap. If you're looking for a shoe that would fit a kid with braces but need velcro, I would recommend the New Balance 680v5 Kids Hook and Loop Sneakers. I bought these after this shoe and they are great for SMO if you have width.

This is an excellent shoe with an eye-catching design and comfortable, breathable mesh. There are also many sizes and widths to choose from. However, there is one disadvantage that is unfortunately decisive for me: The foam midsole is too thick and blocky. It is not adapted to the wobbly movements of babies. Imagine trying to walk in platform shoes. It would be safer to make the outsole rounder and flatter like the Stride Rite does. I won't be able to buy these shoes again until my child is…
