Great Price. *by L***K on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on March 5, 2014* My son is 2 years old and has pretty wide feet. Regular shoes just weren't cutting it and it was so hard to find the correct size in a wide at the local shoe stores. I searched the internet and found this shoe. Not knowing how this brand of shoe would fit I read all of the reviews. I saw were people were displeased when the shoes arrived....they weren't wide enough and the Velcro would hardly catch and the shoe ran small. Based on those reviews I ordered the size 8 and went for the extra wide just to be safe.When the shoes arrived and when I opened the box they looked they really big. I was surprised and I held them up to another pair of his size 8 shoes and they were definitely bigger/longer. It also would have been fine just getting the wide instead of the extra wide. The width of the actual shoe isn't the problem, it's the Velcro straps that could be longer. I didn't have any problems with my son as he has flat feet and the Velcro attached just fine, but I can see what the complaints are about when it comes to the Velcro not reaching properly.I will know the next time how to order them and I definitely will be ordering more of them in the future! I'm happy that I found these shoes! Great shoe for the price! My son loves them, he can put them on and take them off all by himself. :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only model I am buying for my kids. *by C***. on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on February 20, 2015* The KJ990 is the only shoe I have been buying for several years now.I have 2 girls about a shoe size apart at all times. They burned out shoes like nothing till I found these.I used to go to target or payless, but those shoes were junk and fell apart all the time.Instead of shopping for a different model as often as kids outgrow the shoes, I settled on this ONE model for as long as it comes in their size.Durable, more than you'd imagine. My autistic daughter literally murders her shoes. These still outlast her brutality. My older daughter is in track and other youth sports, and these have held up to her events and daily life.All in all, I was looking for a shoe that could outlive their growth cycles. And so far this has been a one stop shop for us!I just tell um what color options are available in their size, and they get to choose. No more this style or that style, just this one daily use shoe.Do yourself a favor and stop wasting your money on those cheaper shoes at payless. These shoes cost me less than I spent in junk bin shoes, and I buy one pair a year usually. And we still have enough life in them to gift them to the neighbor who sometimes needs a bit of time between her daughters growth and her pocket book.These shoes are amazing, just pick out a color :P ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Supportive shoe for growing tootsies *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on May 23, 2013* I selected this shoe after a professional shoe store owner fit my 2 1/2 year-old son. Lots of shoes are cute, but I wanted him to have better support now that he's active, runs quite a bit, visits theme parks largely without a stroller, etc... My son has a chubb foot (i.e., wide) and has low arches. This shoe fit him like a dream and gives much better cushioning than the "cutsie" shoes from Target and Converse. I also appreciate that this New Balance shoe comes in half sizes, like most better-made shoes do, in order to get the best fit. Amazon has the best price for this shoe, I save about 15-20% buying here than in a store. I got the first pair of NB shoes at the store in gratitude for the store owner's professional advice, but subsequent pairs have been through Amazon.As a side note, the shoe store owner recommended that while a child is seated with a shoe on, shove their toes to the farthest forward position in the shoe (without forcing them to curl), then insert your own index finger in the gap behind the child's heel. You should be able to insert your finger by neither jamming it in nor seeing a lot of wiggle room. The finger should feel just right. That's a good fit. When I was a kid we used to do a test by pressing on the toe end of the shoe while the child was standing up, but some shoes are so sturdy that you can't feel much using the toe-press test. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1400295-new-balance-unisex-child-990-v3-sneaker](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1400295-new-balance-unisex-child-990-v3-sneaker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
