Customer Reviews New Balance Kids 990v5 (Little Kid)

My daughter bought these to work in. She has very wide and short feet. She has downs syndrome, 39 years old and wears kids shoes and she is sensitive about the way her shoes fit. They were comfortable from day one and the material is nice. She comments every day about how she loves her new shoes. It's extremely hard to find extra wide shoes and shoes that look like they belong on an adult. These shoes tic off all the boxes. Very happy.

Fit as expected Good for a wide foot

My son has very wide feet and these shoes fit perfectly.

Comfortable and easy to take on and off. Good support for little feet.

A bit on the clunky side but prefect for my daughter’s wide foot. Very comfortable - she spends a long day at school in them. No breaking in

I bought these for my 5 year old. It has always been nearly impossible to shoe shop for him. Most of the times we end up going home without anything, or send the shoes back when shopping online. His feet are wide and large for his age. He also has a high instep. So, it’s hard to find anything! These fit right out of the box. But they were a tad small on him, so we’re exchanging them for a Size 2 W. Everything else was great! He loved the fit and can’t wait to wear them outside.

Worth the money! My little 3.5 year old boy with big size 11 feet LOVES these shoes. I've joked about him suffering from "chubfoot" since toddlerhood when I realized we couldn't find shoes to fit him nearly as well as his twin sister. The hook/loop closure is secure, but easy enough to adjust. Now Theodore can get himself ready to go outside and tells us how he loves his shoes. Even in 95 degree summer weather he bypasses sandals and other shoe options to put these on. My only comment is the grey is light enough to show stains from trips through wet grass, etc. Comes mostly clean after a spin through the washer. Has held up acceptably to very hard use for 4 months.
