New Balance Toddler Boy's Rave Running Shoe

As many others have indicated, there is a major problem with the velcro on these shoes. My son's first pair lasted a few months and then the velcro simply wouldn't stick. We ordered him another pair, and it lasted about 3 weeks. The shoes look brand new but the velcro does not stick AT ALL. He cannot keep them on his feet. We will not buy these again. If it had just been the one pair, I would've chalked it up to a defect, but we've had the SAME issue with TWO pairs now. Honestly I would've given them a great review at first too like many others are, but this issue was not apparent until a few weeks later. I would not recommend these shoes. (We will be returning them for a refund.)

I love these shoes for our little guy. I wanted a more structured and supportive shoe because he runs around everywhere these days. I buy the wide so the foot has room to spread out in the toe box although I don’t know he actually has wide feet. After a lot of use the Velcro does wear down and no longer sticks but I’m talking like everyday running wild and taking shoes on and off multiple times a day. I continuously buy size ups for my kiddo in these when he outgrows the old pairs. Great supportive shoe for little ones.

Love these sneakers. My 1 1/2 year old daughter enjoys them every time she wears them. These sneakers are great for wide little feet and the color options are very nice too. I ordered the extra wide so they have the room and comfort my daughter needs. Also, the shoe tongue is not attached which is great because you can comfortably put in the shoes without a struggle and the easy Velcro strap makes it’s easy and convenient to secure the shoe. I will be buying these sneakers moving forward. Thank you New Balance !

The sizing of these shoes works great for my son that has wide feet, but this is our second pair of this shoe that the stickiness of the velcro has only lasted 6 weeks each time. Very disappointed in the design and longevity of these shoes with the velcro strap and given the cost and the reputation of New Balance expected these shoes to be much higher quality and last longer. Will be searching for other brands that make kids Xwide widths in the future.

I love that there are no laces to tie, it’s a convenient slip-on, slip-off design, which makes getting ready so much easier. The fit is great; she still has a little room to grow, but they’re not too loose, so they stay comfortable and secure. She runs around in them with no problem, which tells me they’re comfortable for her. On top of that, they’re cute and very stylish. I really appreciate this purchase and highly recommend them.

I wanted to like these shoes. So much that, after having issues with the velcro the first time we purchased, I took a chance and bought in another size, hoping that it was a one off issue. It is not. After about a month of wearing the shoes, the velcro stops latching completely. The shoes start falling off and become unsafe and useless. These are very cute shoes with a great fit but terrible velcro. Don't waste your money.

The shoe fits well and is mostly good quality but the velcro is awful. After 3 months of use, the velcro barely sticks anymore despite my efforts to clean it. My son has wide feet so we don't have a huge selection of shoes to choose from for him and it's disappointing that I have to replace his shoes which still fit and are otherwise in good shape because of the velcro. We did not have this issue with other brands

Best shoes for wide feet!! Our toddler has high bridge and wide feet, where most other brand’s wide shoes still don’t fit. These come in extra wide and are the only shoes that work for us. Thankfully our toddler loves them, they’re super practical and look great too! They hold up through everyday wear and tear, except usually by the time we’re ready to size up the Velcro starts losing its grip. Highly recommend!
