Purchased these for my 13 year old son. He loved them as they are stylish, light weight and wide for comfort. After just a couple weeks they already have holes above the toes and will need to be replaced. We are very disappointed in the quality of this shoe.

The sole is comfortable, but on my fat feet...I have to make small bows when I tie. But overall quite comfortable

Very cushion and soft shoes. Wide toes gives you more stability! I would recommend this shoe for neutral foot runners. The upper seems good and durable quality, but I am not sure about bottom of the shoe.

Wow- the upper material developed a little tear after a few wears! I’m a big NB fan, over 20+ pairs of them and never had this problem- refund pending!
