BL: Needed extra wide in order to fit wide feet and SMOS. these worked however it would be better if the Velcro was two strips instead of one since it’s more bulky with the orthotic. I considered cutting in half to make two strips but didn’t want it to cause strings. He gets all kinds of compliments on his shoes. Also the insoles come out easily again to make more rooms for the SMOs. It’s easy to slid on. The other thing is the velcro strap is kind of thinner than expected.
The material is soft and picks up dirt / dust / chalk etc easily. But does dust off well. For kids shoe I would think something easier to wipe off would be better.
Overall works for our needs. Just a few things could be better.

R: These shoes are extremely well made! The suede and thick mesh feel a little stiff at first, but they loosen up with walking and running. The straps are long and help to adjust the shoe to the size of the foot. The straps are also very easy to use for an adult helper and do not loosen easily, which can make them tricky for kids to use independently but obviously keep the shoes from falling off or wiggling.
They fit orthotics plus a round little foot well vertically and width-wise, but the shape of the shoe is very rounded at the toe, so the foot-shaped orthotic has to be a little smashed in at the toe and heel due to the shape differences. It is nice to have found a shoe that actually has a large enough toe box for a toddler foot.
Width- and height-wise, these are definitely large, but if your LO is also large, they are the best I have found after trying several brands with supposedly wide sizing!

E.M.E.M.: The school said my new Kindergartener who lives in Crocs and slippers because he said everything hurts his feet was going to have to have tennis shoes with velcro straps for gym class! So... what was I going to do!?! I knew that New Balance makes adult shoes in wide, extra-wide and even wider so I though I’d start there ... and lucky me! Finally, my little one has a pair of traditional tennis shoes that he says feel good on his feet. Based on the not-at-all-scientific “mom test” it feels to me like he has some excess room in the toe-box but I also sized up 1 size because it’s summer and he’s still 2 months away from school. Furthermore, I thought he could just wear thick socks with them if they were still a little too large. Bottom line: New Balance shoes are long-wearing and comfortable. But most importantly-I needed an extra wide toddle sized velcro strapped pair of tennis shoes that my son would actually wear and they are the only brand I could find that could supply them for me - it was just a bonus that they are so good looking and well made by a trusted brand. I’m very happy!! (My son is 5.5 years old, has a 7 inch foot and I purchased a 12.5 Extra-Wide. I feel...

☕ Creative Coffee ☕: My habit is always to wait at least a few weeks before reviewing anything. That way, readers of my comments know I am not just excited about a package coming in the mail but have also tested its durability.
My daughter loves these shoes. They are comfortable, stylish, fit TTS, and can be worn for all of her activities. She loves that she can just throw them on and not have to worry about tieing them. My only con would be that my 9-year-old isn't learning how to tie shoelaces because they have such a convenient velcro strap. She has some motor issues and can't tie shoelaces very quickly, so she was worried that she would be embarrassed having to ask a teacher to tie her shoes in 4th grade. These shoes look stylish and on-trend, plus they are name brand, so they eliminate any embarrassment issues. Plus, she has XW sized feat, and almost no brands of shoes, except New Balance, make a GIRLS extra-wide shoe.
The only con would be that a size 3 XW is the last of the kids XW shoes, so I'm going to have to search for women's XW shoes--hopefully, they will be easier, not harder, to find. Also, you have to buy the XW shoes online, they are almost never in-stock in a brick and...

Clark Amazon: Hermosos tenis y súper cómodos, talvez lo único que comentar no tan positivo es que por el color parecieran no estar tan limpios, pero difícilmente cualquier tenis de niño dura limpio, Recomendación pidan 2 números menos que las tallas de las marcas Nacionales, o de los centímetros que miden los pies de sus bebés
