"My 8-year old son is ever on the go and he needs a shoe that can endure and keep up with his activity level. He has had this pair of shoes for the past 3 weeks and is very satisfied with the fit and comfort of them, particularly as he does a tremendous amount of jumping on the trampoline. He especially likes the design and color of these shoes.
As a mom, I have been very happy with New Balance shoes and think they are an excellent value for the quality that they provide. I have never had any problems with any of the shoes in the past. Highly recommended product!"
Pros: Lightweight, Good traction, Cushioning, Shock absorbing, Breathable, Stylish
Yes, I recommend this product.
