New Balance Kids 571 Review and Giveaway

Back to school sneaker shopping got you down? Not sure what sneakers would be good for daily wear or gym class. If you are looking for a very nice sneaker that won’t break the bank check out the New Balance 571’s.

The New Balance 571’s have a very sporty look but are a rugged and durable trail running shoe that features N-FUSE technology which provides superior cushioning for all outdoor activities. The 571’s are avaialbe for boys or girls and come in preschool size (shoe size 10.5-3) and grade school size (3.5-7).

Here are some feature’s of the 571’s:

  • N-FUSE® Midsole technology joins together foam of two different densities. The top foam is less dense for soft cushioning, while the denser bottom foam provides support and compression set resistance.
  • IMEVA (injection-molded EVA foam) midsole for firm yet flexible cushioning
  • Aggressive Lugged Outsole gives maximum traction for off-road activities
  • Synthetic/Mesh upper provides lightweight comfort and support

Shaun often complains that his feet hurt when he’s running around outside or walking alot. He’s been wearing these for about a week now and I’ve heard no complaints. They must be offering proper cushioning and support. Their lightweight structure is also a plus for running and climbing reducing leg fatigue, making for a more energetic kid. New Balance is a family favorite in our house. Rob wears them to go to the gym, I wear them to walk and workout and they were Shae’s first real sneaker.

New Balance got their start in the early 1900’s. Having grown leaps and bounds since then they are a leader in athletic products including shoes, apparel and sports accessories. Giving back to the community has always been an important part of their mission. New Balance will contribute 15% of wholesale sales from the Lace Up for the Cure Apparel & Footwear Collection with a guaranteed minimum donation of $500,000 up to a maximum of $1 million to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. New Balance is a proud sponsor of Girls on the Run, a program that encourages pre-teen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. New Balance provides shoes for 500 needy girls each year, as well as a pair of running shoes for each council director.
