Great looking shoe! Runs half size small and narrow. Had to replace Wide with XW and half size larger to fit my son.

Shoe is very cute and seems like it will stay in decent looking condition. My kid has XW feet so our choices in shoes are pretty limited. I would say these fit a little narrower than expected. I also wish they would make the velcro strap longer on the wide shoes - it just barely fits across to the other side.

My 5 year old son loves these shoes. He thinks they are super comfortable and make him fast. They run small though. We had to return and order a half size larger than what he typically wears.

The shoe's sole ripped off after just a few uses. Very disappointed. This has never happened before, and my son has gone through LOTS of shoes.

These were a good fit and style but the velcro started coming off after 6 weeks or so.

We have been buying Sauconys for several years for our son, and they usually outlast the wear and tear until his feet outgrow the shoes. These shoes however, fell apart after 2 months. The stitching on the velcro came undone rendering the shoes unwearable. I don't recommend this specific line of Sauconys for the quality.

We've bought Sauconys for our son for the past 8 pairs (the Ride 7). But since the Ride doesn't go higher than 12, we had to find an alternative. These shoes are definitely much narrower, which everyone else said in the reviews, so we figured going up a full size and going the Wide should work. We were wrong. For reference, the 13W in this shoe is actually narrower on the inside than the 12M on the Ride 7.
Styling was okay. A bit brighter than we prefer, but it looks like the picture. This shoe could be fine if your child has a narrow foot. If they are even remotely close to wide, I would find an alternative (not that Saucony has any with velcro).

Velcro separating from the top strap. Quality has gone down in this brand. Ordered 3 months ago and with this Velcro issue I am done.

I put these sneakers on my son on October 1st. Today is the 23rd and they are completely destroyed. I am the first to admit that my son is rough with his shoes, but to have the shoelaces rip apart and to have the runner sole come apart in three weeks is unacceptable. Extremely poor quality. I do not recommend these.

Bottom line: Poor quality. We loved these shoes when they first arrived. My son found them comfortable for his wide feet, and loved the color/style. However, within 2 months, the Velcro closure stopped working and the soles began to peel off. Sorry, Saucony, you've lost a customer.

The Velcro on these shoes didn't stay hooked after less than a month of wear. Thankfully, Zappos is amazing and resolved our issue well beyond our expectations. I love this place.

This is the second time in a few months that I have purchased this shoe (the previous time I bought from another store). Both times the velcro strap fell apart within a month or two. Very disappointed because they look so good on my son!

Shoes - 1 star. Zappos - 5 stars! Bought for my 4 year old son with wide feet - he loved them and we loved how he could put them on without help.
However, 2 months later, the Velcro stopped sticking and a layer of the sole started to peel off. I tried super glue, but it didn't work. Looking at other reviews, I see that other people have had the same issues. Maybe Saucony changed something with production between then and now, because the past reviews didn't mention the soles and straps. Zappos was great and immediately offered to replace the shoes.

We bought these shoes thinking they would hold up until the end of the school year...they did not even last 2 weeks. Very upsetting -wish we could have returned but instead we are off to buy new sneakers this week

Two pairs = two failures
My son is not a habitual shoe destroyer - he has a pair of Asics that have lasted over a year. However, within three weeks of ordering a pair of these Saucony's, a huge portion of the sole tread sheared off. Zappos graciously sent me a replacement pair and the same thing happened on the replacement pair within a month.

We have purchased many pairs of Saucony and always been happy. Not this time. The fit is really weird. The elastic lace is way too long and makes the shoe fit sloppy, and my little guy has a W I D E foot. And the tongue of the shoe seems short compared to other shoes and then it slides down and makes the fit even worse. It's not good at all. These are definitely going back.
On the plus side, I received this pair crazy fast!

These look good and feel good. The problem is that after just 2 months of wear, the soft side of the hook and loop closure is worn out! The hard side that does the catching is working fine (I can make it adhere to other fabrics), but the soft side won't be held down.

My son loved these shoes, but after one month of wear, they are falling apart! The velcro separated from the fabric and I have glued it back together multiple times with little success. This seems to be a design flaw, the velcro portion starts at the fold of the strap, so it constantly rubs against the metal hook and detaches. I am very disappointed, I expected these shoes to last at least a season at minimum.

The blue rubber on the bottom of the shoe is already coming off and it hasn't even been a month.
