Poor strap durability

a month ago
This started out as a great shoe. It gave great support and she could get it on and off easily. But as others have noted, the Velcro strap fails well before the rest of the shoe is ready. We've had this pair for less than two months and the loop holding the velcro on is about to break apart. If they can fix the material or reposition that so it doesn't rub then this has potential to be a great shoe. As it stands, I won't buy this one again due to the short life expectancy of that part.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the Velcro strap showed significant wear in less than two months, especially when the rest of the shoe was performing well and providing the support you needed. We appreciate your detailed comments and encourage you to contact Customer Care so our team can review the issue and assist further.

Strap issues

2 months ago
I very much appreciate New Balance providing shoes with bungees straps for kids like mine that struggle with tying their shoes and the fact they provide wider sizes and are supportive of high arches but these shoes did not last very long. The top strap ripped on the one shoe and the red buckle ripped completely off on the other shoe.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the straps did not hold up as expected, especially since the fit, support, and bungee design were helpful for your child. That’s disappointing to experience, and please feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team so they can review this durability concern and help with next steps.

Disappointed Wide Width Still Too Narrow & Poor

4 months ago
I ordered the wide-width version, but the front still feels too narrow and uncomfortable. Also, the material at the front of the shoes has already started stripping, even though it hasn’t been a month since I purchased them. Very disappointed with the quality.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that the wide width still felt too narrow and that the material began wearing down so quickly. We understand how disappointing this is, especially within the first month. Our Customer Care team would be glad to review your experience and help find a solution that offers better comfort and durability.
