New Balance Youth Boys' Rave Run V2 Wide Width Running Shoe

I've been a loyal customer of New Balance shoes for decades. I always purchased shoes in stores prior to this and a previous order. I just ordered this shoe. It looks nice. I sincerely hope it is of a better quality than a shoe made of similar material of my previous order. That shoe almost immediately began unraveling on the crease when making a step. This is it. I understand the concept of ""planned obsolescence,"" but there is zero excuse for have a shoe that starts falling apart less than 2 weeks after a purchase. I'm only giving a rating of 3 stars because I hope this shoe will be high quality, yet knowing what happened before. I giving New Balance the balance of the doubt in this case. I hope it's not misplaced.

I like new balance because they have shoes in wide sizes as well as larger sizes for kids. My daughter is still growing and I don’t want to buy expensive shoes that she will grow out of at any time. I also don’t want to buy unsupportive, uncomfortable shoes from a big box store. This shoe fits true to size when using the size chart provided. I find they are slightly bigger than some other popular brands, but it could just be the wider toe box.

My son has wide feet and we chose NewBalance brand for exactly this reason. They offer width preference and is so much more natural and accommodating to the health of natural foot structure. My son feels comfortable and at ease and able to concentrate on his athleticism. Thank you so much for the care and support offered through the awareness of your shoes ! 🤍

This is my son’s second or third pair of these shoes. He has an XW shoe size and we buy New Balance exclusively because of the fit. We love these shoes for the comfort, look and traction. He wears them daily - all day every day - and plays all his sports in them. His last pair had the sole come off, but he wears them hard and outside of that they looked flawless.

I bought these New Balance sneakers for my son and he absolutely loves them. The fit and comfort are his top choice compared to other brands he’s worn. They’re super easy for him to slip on, and the laces actually stay tied (unlike so many others we’ve tried). Another big plus is how easy they are to wipe down, which keeps them looking fresh and new!!

I bought the extra wide shoes for my grandson who has very wide and thick feet. When he put them on, he said, "They fit!" He has had them for three weeks and they still look like new. He has been known to tear the sides out in his shoes in less than five weeks, so these extra wide shoes are great!! Another pair has been ordered for him.

Shoes are great quality, very comfy, but the sizing is way off. I bought these for my son for his birthday and ordered a size 6.5 based off of the sizing chart. They were so small he couldn't even get his foot in the shoe. I ended up having to get his a completely different pair of shoes, different brand and all in a men's size 8.

My son love these shoes. It is his first time running cross country. He is 10 and loving it. These shoes are comfortable and reasonably priced. I run as well and love the new balance fit. I'm using the 1080s and the Rebel V2s and love them both. I'm glad my son feels equally pumped about his new balance running shoes.
