Wonderful COMFORTABLE Shoes Guys!
I have terribly bad feet ankles and legs and a severely deteriorated spine at L4-L5. I also use a cane at all times.
These shoes from Merrell are just the best thing since sliced bread!!
Supportive Solidly Constructed from Quality Materials Rubber Soles (yea!) that stay soft and "grippy" not like the "plastic stuff" used by others!! Never Slip Always Grip even when wet and on tile floors.
They fit and have a comfort level of slippers! How Great is That!? Softly yet firmly gripping your foot...you must try a pair and see what I mean! Don't doubt my word men read the other reviews here also!
Do yourself a GREAT favor and get yourself a pair of these great comfortable and long-wearing shoes. I can tell you personally that the "classic taupe" and "midnight" always look well and go with everything and "brush up" wonderfully when soiled or skuffed looking!!
Enjoy and wear 'em in great comfort! ~operabruin

Shoe ReviewAwesome shoe. New Balance has done it yet again. It holds up to even the toughest of kids! My boys put their shoes through the wringer and New Balance always hold up until they outgrow them. Way to go!

Great quality - decent look
As usual the new balance shoe is of great quality. My son has slightly flat and narrow feet. These shoes gives him the support he needs.

Terrific girl's sneakerMy 6 year old loves her new sneakers. We bought it for a trip to Disney World and she wore it all day for many days of walking and running. The velcro straps were great...we didn't have to sit and wait for her to tie laces or even trip on loose shoestrings. She also loved how fashionably sporty-looking they were...not too babyish and not too girlish. I would definitely buy these sneakers again.

Great shoesOur kids are on a rope-skipping team and these shoes were recommended to us by older jumpers as great for this activity. The shoes are terrific and our kids really like the way they feel on their feet. The shoes are holding up well to extensive use. The sizing chart was dead-on perfect. No complaints whatsoever.

Good qualityThe shoes look very well made. My daughter put them on right away and did not want to take off. She is so happy with them. The silver color looks darker in real than in the picture. I am very happy with the purchase. Just hope it is going to hold up her daily wear.

Great shoe for stability and independence!My daughter likes these shoes because they're pink they're comfortable and she can put them on herself and adjust as needed throughout the day. My kids shoes are very important to me as I have foot issues from not wearing great shoes. These shoes have a nice cushiony soul base and the construction stands up to an active four year olds wear and tear.
The pink does get a bit dirty after some wear but they wash up quite nicely.
I'm very pleased with our purchase.

Great for everyday!I bought these for my granddaughter to wear to school. She loves them now I can't get to wear any others! With the white netting they do get dirty but cleans easily. They are light weight not heavy like a lot of other athletic shoes and she says they are comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great shoesMy daughter really likes these shoes. They fit well and are very comfortable and the velcro hasn't lost its "stick" the way some other shoes do.
