Customer Reviews New Balance Kids 515 (Big Kid)

They blew out in one month. What a disappointment. We usually love New Balance and have been long time fans. But this is terrible quality. What happened??

I love NB. I don't know how many pairs of NB I have bought over the years. That said, I bought these sneakers for my 14 yr old son. He is not a super active kid but these sneakers did not hold up well. They eventually curled and look very broken-in. You wouldn't believe they are less than a year old. He wore them a few times a week for school but I can't let him wear them out anymore. Only good for yard work now :). I was surprised because this is the first time any NB that I have bought that did this (curled). Maybe we got a bad batch? Otherwise, the style was nice and the fit was good.

I order a size 7 but I need to go down a inch

I purchased the wrong size. I love them but the site stated exchanging is unavailable.

These are very cute but they are not wide. They're marked wide but they're regular width. I ordered another New Balance pair in W and they are obviously wide, these are not. Kiddo said they were too tight.

Upon opening box shoes appeared narrow. My son has a wide foot so I was specifically looking for a wide shoe. They were marked “wide” but were actually more narrow than his shoes that aren’t narrow. Sent them back.

Great looking shoes but lasted only a month and a hole is in them. New Balance sneakers used to last for months. This is the second pair that did this. Very disappointing.

My son wore these around Disneyland for 5 days and said they were very comfortable for walking. He wears a Youth 4.5, which is what I ordered, and they fit perfectly, so I would say they run true to size

These shoes are my 11 year old son's new shoes. He has "graduated" from Stride Rite and is happy in these new New Balance lace-up shoes. They are comfortable and grippy.

Look good and fit well

These were great - my son only wanted to return these because he felt they seemed looser than the same brand in a different color (and we were buying them a bit big).

My 9 year old loves them!

They are great shoes my son wears a afo and it fits prefect in it makes it much easier for him to wear his afo and be comfortable.

New Balance consistently fit my kids well because they are offered in wide and they stand up to the wear and tear of active kids.

The wide size is not very wide - seems like a normal width shoe.

It says delivered. Did not receive either of the two pairs that I ordered…..gave one star rating across all categories because did not receive and can’t evaluate!
