Saucony Youth Boy's Wind A/C 2.0 Sneaker

I bought these shoes 5 months ago in the wide size for my very active, sensory sensitive child and they are great. Most shoes are a challenge for us - too high of heel tab, too tight here, too loose there. We bought 6 different brands of shoes and these were head and shoulders above the crowd of Nike, ASICS, NB, etc. My child is part of a track running club and likes to hike and they’ve done it all in these with a smile on their face, and love that they can put the shoes on by themselves. The sole of ours hasn’t had any of the peeling away you see in the pictures below Only downside is the velcro strap only has the “teeth” at the end of the strap. My child has low-volume feet and likes to really cinch the velcro strap down so the velcro only attaches by a half inch or so. I expected it to start to fail by now but it has held up well.

My son was sizing out of his size 13 shoes so we ordered him a size 1. He couldn’t even get his foot in the size 1. The exchange was awesome, so props to Saucony - we went another full size up and he has a hair’s breadth of room to grow. Also they run narrow. My son’s feet are not wide and he says they feel very snug, though not painful.

My son is 5 years old. I believe some of his foot issues are sensory related, but we’ve also visited a podiatrist to see what was up. Flat, wide foot with curly toes! No complaints from him with these shoes! #momwin loves to run and so far seem to be durable.

They look fantastic, but they literally started falling apart on the very first wear and my son tripped because of it while playing basketball! Hope to get a refund or would be willing to get a new pair. My son loved the look and feel of them, such a bummer

Nice wide sneaker. I really hope that the company starts making more wide sneakers in a variety of colors because my kid pretty much has had the same ones for the past few years! Wish they were sold at shoe stores as well.

My granddaugther, who is 5, loves her Sauconys. She will choose to wear this brand than any other. So, we just buy Sauconys. Buying directly is always better than going to stores because of available selections.

I bought these for my son in a size up as they were on sale and I know he'll need them for this school year. I have no doubt they'll be great as I am happy with my own runners in this same brand.

It has become increasing tricky to find wide shoes for my 8yo. I was hoping these would fit the bill, but they did not. We might actually have to start looking at a "barefoot" style shoe.
