Customer Reviews New Balance Kids KV720v4 (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Fell apart after wearing a month. velcro separated from strap.

I have mixed feelings about these because my son loves them, but they lack in quality/durability in our experience. Our first pair, the strap ripped from the Velcro in 3 days on both shoes, so I thought we got a defective pair. Zappos was great to send us a new pair quickly. However on the second pair, the same thing happened in three weeks. If you look closely, you'll notice it's a single continuous stitch along the edges of the Velcro strap. Thus, I think these might not be a good match for very active boys. He loves them and is asking I bring them to our cobbler to fix, but no one should have to do that with new shoes. We love new balance shoes, especially for wider feet, so we're going to try out a different style: 680v3.
