Update- These are still the best. I thought I would try Stride Rite since they were sullosed to be so orthodic, but was not impressed, so I bought yet another pair of these. At least the 8th pair my son has had. I've been buying these same shoes for my son for years. It is difficult to find leather shoes anymore and those mesh shoes are too cold in winter, plus they don't wear for long. These are available in both white and black and with laces or velcro and I have purchased each several times. I have not tried the other colors. They fit well, are comfortable and they hold up very well. We've never had a pair wear at all. I am unsure if these are leather or synthetic as some listings for this same shoe model number say leather and this one says synthetic. I can say they seem to hold up and wear like leather, they do not peel and they do not make my sons feet sweat like other synthetic shoes he has had. If you're looking for a pair of leather shoes for your child, try these. I saved about $15 buying this pair on Amazon. (Personal retail purchase).

Loved them so much, we bought a second pair

We loved these shoes. The fit is as expected. The laces are great for someone new to the whole shoe-tying gig since they hold the bow and don't tend to slide out as readily as other laces. As someone who has had her share of shoe-lace fights with kindergartners, good laces are a must. These shoes meet dress code for our school's uniform, and we liked them so much we bought a second pair for playing in. The price is right, and the quality beats discount department stores any day

Holds up better than others

I have purchased multiple brands of all black athletic shoes over the years as they are a requirement at my son's school. These New Balance seem to hold up much better than other, more expensive, brands that we've tried. They definitely lasted longer than the others.

A great orthotic brace shoe

Pre K student needed a good support shoe to use with their SMO's (orthotic braces). This leather shoe is fantastic. The W (wide) width easily accommodates the brace. Inserting the brace and removing it from the shoe is hassle free-a problem I ran across with another name brand. After spending over $900.00 for the much needed orthotic it was a relief to find such a quality shoe at such a reasonable price. Since this is the only shoe that can be worn, a second pair were purchased for good wear.

These New Balace work for me

I need a good strong shoe to help my supination and these help keep my foot straight. I wear a wide and they come in my size 5 wide that fit perfectly. I bought these several times over the years and in comparison with other shoes, they have worked the best for me. My only complaint is that I wish they would come in different colors.

Great shoes, great fit

I buy a new pair of these shoes every January and they become my new walking/running shoes. Last year's running shoes become this year's everyday shoes. I wore this pair for the first time and had no adjustment problems, which is why I continue to buy them every year. I'm so impressed with them.

Awesome School Shoes!

These New Balance Shoes were a purchased as school shoes for my son. Looking at the (Good) condition of them you could hardly tell that it has been 5 months already! The color has not faded or nor worn away(the color Black probably helps). Regardless if he is hard on the shoes or not, there is little evidence that he even has been wearing them. He wears them at least 7.5 hours, about 3 days a week. I am already a fan of New Balance so this isn't much of a surprise to me of the quality. New balance is my recommendation because of durability and the quality. I often get the Wide width for extra room for comfort. Not too many children shoes come in wides and many children have wider feet than even many adults. Overall, I truly am satisfied with the shoes and very worth the money I paid. When Choosing shoes that my son will wear everyday I prefer companies like New Balance to purchase from.

Best price anywhere and these are great quality

School shoes for my daughter. Best price anywhere and these are great quality. I ordered a pair from the Uniform store and they were identical pairs, theirs were 49.95, 20 dollars more expensive than amazon!

Great shoes!

I purchased these for my niece for cheering in an elementary school. She had the best shoes on the court!

Great for all shoe

I buy these shoes every year or as my kids feet grow. I love that they are made as tennis shoes but look really classy! they are great for school and sports. Quality has been on and off over the years... the very first pair lasted the whole school year but recently I had to buy twice a year. Some kids might consider them a bit hot but they are great for winter too. I wish it was not synthetic but real leather.
