Just a warning--this color combination (listed as grey/blue, but has black in it too) is very "girly" when you see it in person. My 4 year old son loves bright blues so we picked this one out for him and, I will admit, DID NOT click on the many different "views" of the shoe or do any close ups of it. When it arrived we discovered glittery silver thread in the yellow strip that holds the laces together, and on the trim. Also the grey mesh on the back is very glittery. To top it off, the NB logo on the tongue of the shoe has a flowery design.
Luckily Amazon has such an amazing return system that we just picked a new color combo, printed the return labels and we are set, but I just wanted to warn everyone to look closely at the color combinations if you are looking at these for a boy! Don't get me wrong, I think it is great that they have a color combo like this for girls--lots of girls don't want pink or purple and this is a great change, but a bit disconcerting when you think you are getting a shoe for a boy!
(as for the 5 stars--we love NB shoes for our son, he has wide feet, wears orthotics and his New Balance shoes always hold up to anything he puts them through. We are actually only ordering these so he can have nice looking new shoes for the school year, his old pairs still fit great, they are just starting to look a little worse for wear.)

I am an adult female but wear a 3 1/2 girls shoe. I have great luck with New Balance and these are a perfect, lightweight fit.

My first grader has PE for the first time this year, and needed some athletic shoes. She also has joined a lunchtime running club, so we knew we needed to get her some real shoes to meet her needs. I showed her lots of options and she definitely liked the colors and design of this pair the best. The fit was true to size and she learned how to tie her shoes pretty quickly on them, so she can retie them when needed. Just know that these require actual lacing skills the picture of the item makes it seem like they may be pre-tied and elasticized for a slip-on fit. She wore them all day at her school's walk-a-thon last weekend and got a gold medal. Highly recommend these shoes and feel they were worth the price.

This was a very nice shoe but compared to the NB shoes I usually wear they run a little large. If I were to order these again I would order 1/2 size smaller.

I bought a pair of these sneakers for my 10 y.o. son. I bought a size bigger because he is growing very fast and he end up losing many pair of shoes quickly. They are really nice and comfortable. He is not wearing it to go to school yet, so I don't know if it is ideal for heavy duty exercises. It is only to go to church for now. It is really nice looking.
