text: My 2 year old son has a double wide foot so unfortunately there are not alot of shoe options out there for him. These shoes fit great, however it you are buying these for a younger child be careful. They do not hold up when washing. I would expect if I was paying this much for a pair of shoes for a 2 year old they would hold up after wearing them for only 3 weeks. We had a situation that required the shoes to be washed in the washing machine. Not surprising for a 2 year old. When I took the shoes out after the washing cycle, the fabric on the insert was completely off. When I called New Balance to inquire about this they told me that their shoes should not go in the washing machine. If they are going to sell sneakers for this age range, and charge as much as they do for them, they should make the quality so that they can be cleaned properly.
