I purchased these sneakers for my 2 year old son because we've had difficulty finding him sneakers that are wide enough for his feet. Initially, I was very pleased, as the fit was great & my son really liked the style. However I've recently noticed that the stitching at the toe has come undone and now there is a hole over the toes on both my son's shoes. I was very disappointed and don't feel that these shoes have worn very well. I would think that a sneaker for a 2 year old would hold up better...and last more than 8 weeks...especially for the price. I am very disappointed & dissatisfied.

My 18 month old loves these shoes. We got the wide width and they are very confortable on him. THe laces stay put, no fraying of the shoe itself and these shoes have withheld my sons adventures in the backyard with the dogs! Sturdy shoe! We have had them for 5 months and no complaints. The blue and orange ended up matching alot of his clothes, too :)

I bought these shoes twice for my growing 2 year old son and am currently buying his 3rd pair as he continues to grow. We love these shoes! He never complains like he did with his other shoes. They are comfortable for him and durable for all the outdoor playing he does. I think these are the best shoes we have purchased and will continue to purchase New Balance.
