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.
