Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Introducing New Balance Women's Speed Baseball Men's Shoes: Optimal Athletic Performance by James Bartels

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Width doesn't match. In particular, the ability to get into the top without lacing.

Product arrived as a 7 1/2 2E. As soon as I looked at it, I knew there was going to be a problem. I checked the label inside to make sure it says 2E. As pointed out by another wide foot user, these shoes are very difficult to put on with a wide foot. I spent a few minutes stretching the material on top for my 13 year old to put on. Even then it was too comfortable. He wanted to keep them because he thought the width would stretch as he walked. If you're looking for a wide foot baby (E-EE), skip it. Look for shoes with a real tongue and lace-up flaps. Update 02-04/2021: After an hour of stretching, the top was easier for him to put on and has been wearing it during the tournament and training ever since. I don't know, maybe he was just afraid I would give them back, but he stopped bitching as soon as we stretched him.

Pros
  • I bought these for my son and he loves them. They fit perfectly and have a great style!
Cons
  • Shoes don't lace up. I have a wide foot and couldn't even step on my foot.
