Great Shoe!
This is my four year old daughter's first real, big girl sneakers. We used to purchase the Saucony Rides for her and the transition from the toddler shoes to these big girl shoes was fairly smooth. She did complain about the arch being uncomfortable for the first couple of days but after the adjustment she loves the shoes. They are her go-to pair now. She's pretty rough on shoes but these have held up for a month of almost exclusive use.They fit true to size. We ordered the 11 XW US Little Kid. I try not to get any obnoxious colored shoes because I like shoes to match outfits and I don't want to have to wear sunglasses because her shoes are glowing every color of the rainbow. The pink and silver go with most everything she wears because she never wears an outfit without pink. Overall we're happy with the purchase.

So glad to find this two strap Velcro model again!
We have purchased many pairs of these sneakers over the past few years for our multiply disabled daughter. So few youth-sized choices out there in extra-wide widths! PLEASE, SAUCONY, KEEP MAKING THIS TWO STRAP MODEL IN BIGGER SIZES! Like many former preemie children with mild CP or other disabilities, our daughter wears hard plastic foot brace orthotics (SMO's), and still cannot tie a shoe. This model has the excellent support needed when pairing with SMO's, and two Velcro straps, so she can put her own sneakers on with ease. Very important for a young lady. The last time she needed new sneakers, we could not find youth size XW "Cohesion" with the two Velcro straps anywhere, in stores or online, just a new version with stretchy lacing and one strap. Not easy to get on, even for an adult with a shoehorn. School was not happy. She was not happy. But we struggled on with them, because there was no alternative. How thrilled I am to have found a pair of the old two strap model in her size! We have noticed that Sauconys do tend to run a bit shorter than Stride-rite sneakers of the same size, but the instep is roomier.

Quality issue
Shoe looks good but after only a month of wear, one strap is coming apart & I don’t think the shoes will hold up.Disappointing As I feared one shoe has lost it’s tongue & they are unwearable.

Nice sneaker; not good for those w/ a high instep
I really had high hopes for this sneaker. I like to get my daughter sneakers that have a lot of silver so that they can match most of her outfits. (White gets too dirty too fast when kids are little while silver is better at hiding dirt that can't be wiped clean.) It is hard to find a reasonably priced and high-quality sneaker that fits my color standards, so I was so happy to have found this style from Saucony. It seemed perfect for my daughter's active lifestyle, and the colors would also be versatile enough to not clash with her clothes. Imagine my disappointment when my girl tried on the sneaker (which she also really liked for its look) only to find the hook-and-loop straps could hardly reach half way across the top of her feet. She does have a high instep and most often online descriptions don't include details about how well (or poorly) a shoe/sneaker might accommodate high insteps. so, alas, I had to return the sneakers to Amazon (thankful for the ease of dropping off the box at my local UPS Store). Back to shopping!

nice shoe, love that it comes in Wide and has velcro
My daughter is a tall 5 year old and this was one of the few shoes in a larger size that came in wide and had velcro. She did learn to tie her own shoes, but velcro is so much easier for a Kindergartener to deal with at school. Our last pair of Saucony tennis shoes lasted her a whole year before the toes started to come apart. I next bought her some LA Gears and they were too narrow and coming apart in a few months. Then I got a pair of Danskins and the sole wore out in a month, so I came back to Saucony and after a couple of months the shoes look great and the extra wide width should allow her to wear them thru the end of the school year if she doesn't have too many more growth spurts! I will stick with this brand from now on.

Great running shoe at a great price.
Saucony is my new favorite brand. Shoes look good, fit good and are reasonably priced, especially for a four year older that loves to run and destroy shoes. These shoes have held up with her Asics. They were the same price as some ghetto POS Dora the Explorer shoes that fell apart in a month and looked like hobo shoes. Nike shoes are hit and miss if they fit my daughter, so now going with these.
