New Balance KJ980 Fresh Foam Running Shoe (Little Kid/Big Kid)

My foot is borderline between "normal" and "wide" width. Depending on the brand and style I can get away with normal width shoes, while others feel to tight around the sides of my foot. These shoes, however, fit very wide. Even with my somewhat wider foot, they felt very loose around the side, while the length was a good fit. I guess in this style I would need 4.5 normal width. If you do not always need a wide shoe, definitely get regular in this model. Other than the wide fit, it is a comfortable shoe.

Bought these shoes for my 6-year-old twins prior to our Disney World trip. They needed new and comfortable shoes, and you just can't go wrong with New Balance. Our boys typically wear extra wide shoes (very hard to find wide variety of those), but we took a chance that the standard wides would work. They fit just fine. Our boys haven't complained about them being too tight across the arch once. And they love the way the shoes look. They say it makes them run faster! We will definitely buy New Balance again.

These have become my 5 year old's favorite shoes! They provide great support for his developing foot and can withstand the tough play of a 5 year old boy. He runs, plays soccer, baseball and rides his bike daily and these still look brand new a month into owning them. His only complaint is that the laces come untied quickly and he wishes they were waxed like his hockey skate laces.

Had to sell these because they fit a wee bit too small. Order a size up especially if you are running in these. Cute color and style just needed a bigger size.

My daughter is obsessed with these kicks. She says that they are light and make her run faster. Super cute with the fluorescent yellow soles. The mesh body make them lighter with better air circulation. Who knew that a 6 yr old girls feet smelled like a locker room.

I boughty these sneakers for my active daughter because they are New Balance which are suppose to be a very good brand of sneaker. Well these didn't last more than 3months of use before the fell apart with holes and cracks in the upper part of the shoe.I guess these would be good sneakers if you want a kid not to really use them. I could get a $20 sneaker to survive the same way and saved money. Very disappointing and would not recommend these to anyone-save your money.

This would have been a nice running shoe for my son but it was too small. Had to send it back. Great price and awesome Amazon seller!

They have worn out fairly quickly on an 8 year old girl.
