"CONS: * As with all kids shoes, the toe area could be even more reinforced although he's worn them every day for a month and, as you can see in the pictures, they're not showing much wear."
"The only thing I haven't been thrilled with is that they got too tight quickly, but only because my little guy has fat feet - the length is still fine, his toes aren't touching the end of the shoe, but they are essentially too small for him now because I can't get the velcro over the top anymore."
"- The velcro straps which are supposedly for these XW shoes are so short, that they only strap halfway across otherwise they would be even tighter than they already are."
"* Second pair we've bought for our son."
"They have enough room that she can grow into them a bit but they are still super comfortable for her to wear now."
"Would buy another pair once he outgrows this one in a heartbeat!"

"I wanted shoes that were a good price value and that my son could put on and take off by himself, run around in, and that would stand up to 3 year old kid abuse. These shoes fit the bill, and for the price I would recommend them and I would buy them again, but they'd be even better if they were even more reinforced around the toes... CONS: * As with all kids shoes, the toe area could be even more reinforced although he's worn them every day for a month and, as you can see in the pictures, they're not showing much wear."

We've not had that issue with any other shoes in the same size/style, so that seems to be unique to Saucony. Bummer, because I would have liked to get another pair for this fall!"
"- Nice looking and reasonable quality Cons: - These shoes were supposed to be extra wide but they are the width of a normal medium width or even slightly narrow shoe... - The velcro straps which are supposedly for these XW shoes are so short, that they only strap halfway across otherwise they would be even tighter than they already are. It's not worth paying the return international shipping to return these, so I've kept them but my advice is not to get them if your child has fat feet."
"They have enough room that she can grow into them a bit but they are still super comfortable for her to wear now. I read some reviews about these shoes being stiff and was a bit concerned but I must say I don't see it..... Will likely come back once she grows out of them for the next size up."
"Wore it for the first time out yesterday and he did really well in them. He's been walking since 13 months, but still trips over his own feet once in a while... Would buy another pair once he outgrows this one in a heartbeat!"

"* I purchased these shoes for my three year old son who is really hard on his shoes. I wanted shoes that were a good price value and that my son could put on and take off by himself, run around in, and that would stand up to 3 year old kid abuse. These shoes fit the bill, and for the price I would recommend them and I would buy them again, but they'd be even better if they were even more reinforced around the toes... * The velcro tab that holds them on is big, so there's plenty of room for error in putting them on, and there's plenty of velcro to ensure a good hold... * Fit is as expected, no discomfort, he wears them all day long without complaint. CONS: * As with all kids shoes, the toe area could be even more reinforced although he's worn them every day for a month and, as you can see in the pictures, they're not showing much wear. * VERY lightweight - so if you're looking for a heavier, more protective shoe for any reason, this is not the pair for you."
"* Love these shoes! They were our little guys first pair of 'real' shoes, and so cute. They have a lot of grip on the bottom, but no so much that it gripped too much and he tripped (which has happened with other shoes). The velcro works great, and they are easy to clean - any mud brushes off, and they dried quickly after a puddle excursion. The only thing I haven't been thrilled with is that they got too tight quickly, but only because my little guy has fat feet - the length is still fine, his toes aren't touching the end of the shoe, but they are essentially too small for him now because I can't get the velcro over the top anymore. We've not had that issue with any other shoes in the same size/style, so that seems to be unique to Saucony. Bummer, because I would have liked to get another pair for this fall!"
"* Pros: - Very light, comfortable shoes for kids, and the sole is not so thick that they keep tripping up and falling over... - Nice looking and reasonable quality Cons: - These shoes were supposed to be extra wide but they are the width of a normal medium width or even slightly narrow shoe. I bought them because my son has chubby feet. We live overseas and can't find shoes with XW fit so I paid the earth for the shoes plus international shipping (nearly $50 in total). I'm really disappointed as he won't wear them because he says they're not comfortable... - The velcro straps which are supposedly for these XW shoes are so short, that they only strap halfway across otherwise they would be even tighter than they already are. It's not worth paying the return international shipping to return these, so I've kept them but my advice is not to get them if your child has fat feet."
"She has a bit of a chubby foot still so shoes can sometimes dig into her...... I got them on comfortably and she just took off.... ran around the house enjoying her new sneakers. They have enough room that she can grow into them a bit but they are still super comfortable for her to wear now. I read some reviews about these shoes being stiff and was a bit concerned but I must say I don't see it..... They are super light weight and have a nice cushion to them. Will likely come back once she grows out of them for the next size up."
"* Bought this in a size 6 for my now 17 mo... Wore it for the first time out yesterday and he did really well in them. He's been walking since 13 months, but still trips over his own feet once in a while. He seems to walk better in these than the pair of stride rites he was wearing previously. Looks to give solid support and not too stiff, and the shoe itself doesnt get in the way so he trips over himself. and the gray/lime color combo is pretty stylish too. Would buy another pair once he outgrows this one in a heartbeat!"
