Nice looking shoes. They are velcro close instead of traditional laces.  My son currently wears New Balance 2.5 Wide (lace up), and they fit him perfectly.  I ordered this pair in the same size so he could alternate between shoes, but these are not as wide as the lace up kind.  He said they were too tight.  Since it is a velcro close, you cannot loosen it up anymore as you can with the lace up kind.  I had to return them.
