We just bought these shoes and already the stitching is starting to come out on the strap. Very disappointing, especially based on the cost of the shoe.

The shoes started coming apart at the toe within a month. Will not buy again.

My 7 yo son can’t comment on the arch support but he says they make him run faster. :) I am disappointed that the stitching is already out in the left shoe toe box after 4 wears at school. I will be cautious about buying Nike’s again. I’m a huge New Balance fan but my son liked these colors better.

Came apart after less than a week. This is not the first pair of Nike kids shoes that was astonishingly bad quality. Never again.

I refuse to buy another pair of Nike Velcro kid shoes. They last all of 2 minutes before there are gaping holes or Velcro comes off or whatever.

These are great shoes for comfort and looks but they do fall apart very quickly, hence 2 stars. I got two sizes of this shoe and after merely 2 months of wear they are opened up in the front. not great. I don't think I'll buy again. Unfortunately my son loves them and is picky when it comes to the comfort of the shoes.

Terrible quality. I bought these as a replacement pair because the first pair we bought started coming apart at the top after two months. Now, six weeks later, this pair is falling apart in the same spot. Very disappointed in Nike.

Loved these shoes when I first bought them but the last TWO PAIRS I have purchased have started falling apart within the first three weeks of wear. My son is active but I would hope that a shoe that cost this much would hold up better. So disappointed.

Do not buy. Threading on the front part of the falls off and eventually you are left with your shoe talking to you. Not worth the money you pay. Bought the same shoe in a smaller size for my daughter and her shoe lasted two days.

These are the ONLY shoes my 9 year old twin boys will wear. I have tried numerous other brands, styles, etc but they will not settle for any others than these. They fit true to size, are easy to slip on and really comfortable. These hold up to their activity level (which is honestly very abusive) and I love the selection of colors available. I would be open to considering sponsorship seeing that these guys hit growth spurts at the same time (Ha Ha!).

My son loved these shoes. He wore them until he outgrew them. He liked the look, and they went with his school dress code. He now requests only Nikes at school.

Great everyday run around shoe for my son. Ordered many other styles in Nike and adidas and either were too narrow or ran big, these ran true to size.

who doesn't love a good Nike? My son says he feels "zoomy" in these, which I translate to mean comfortable and stylish as well.

My 7yo loves these shoes. Generally, I find that Nikes wear out very quickly, but it's too soon to tell.

My 7 year old loved these shoes! Nike in general fun a little narrow but great shoes. I ordered a half a size up to deal with narrow cut on the shoe.

This is my son's second pair of these. They are easy for him (almost 5 yrs old) to put on and secure by himself. Also totally machine washable = parenting win!

These shoes are one of the best buys I have made. My 6 year old son hates to wear shoes unless it is sandals, but he loves how these Nike's fit.
