I ordered half a size larger than he normally wears because I had to return the last pair which were too small. The insoles in this style are very thick. Great for cushioning but too tight around the foot. And I ordered him a wide one.

The shoes themselves are amazing, I love New Balance shoes for my kids. They are comfortable and durable. I gave 3 stars because the color is not orange. It looks very different than advertised, it looks more like a pink orange. So I bought these for my 9 year old son so he wasn't thrilled with the color. I liked everything except the color.

My daughter says she loves her new shoes. She said she would give them 4 stars because she feels they fit a little bit when she puts her foot in the hole. Otherwise they look well made and fit as expected.

Good shoes and fit my son well. However, shoelaces are often untied. I have to tie shoelaces for my 5 year old very often. That's my feedback.

These shoes are actually for my 11 year old son. He started playing sports and I wanted special shoes for the sport. I've spent many hours researching boys' running shoes. They best suited his slightly wider foot. Almost all of the top rated shoes are not recommended for wider feet, with the exception of New Balance, at least according to my research. The shoes are well made and light. Let's see how they hold up throughout the season.

My daughter loves these shoes and I love their stylish look. After reading other reviews I ordered a full size and I'm glad I did. My daughter is a size 11-12 depending on the brand and style and I ordered her a size 12.5. Fits perfectly. Enough room for comfy socks, but not enough room for them to dangle when wearing them barefoot. They will become her closet before the start of the school year!

Little boys and shoes usually have the same consequences as holes in the knees of jeans. I ordered these shoes for September 2016 and by December 2016 they were quite worn out. Maybe my child or the quality of the shoes. I don't want to buy another pair to test this theory as his legs are 4.5 years old and I found a slightly cheaper pair to try. legs to outgrow them.
