Nike V5 Runner Suede

A strong choice if you want a stylish, durable sneaker for your toddler. Great for casual wear. Can’t deny it’s an iconic look. Cons are that I don’t think the toe box is super wide, and they seem a bit stiff.

My son is known for his stylish shoes so these don’t disappoint! They’re lightweight and flexible enough for all-day play. The fit is secure without being too tight, and the slip-on/Velcro design makes them so easy to get on and off (a lifesaver for busy mornings or just getting out the door at any moment). The cushioning looks like it gives great support but for this style of AirMax I keep an eye on how his toes are doing because I have a pair as well and sometimes throughout the day there’s a sense of crowding at the toe area (though I’m always on my feet). Though I check the top to feel where his toes are and ensure they have enough space, my son says the shoes feel good so that’s what I can really go off of. So far the soles hold up well to running, climbing, and exploring. He really loves running so it’s important for his shoes to be able to maintain. Plus, the colors are practical and stylish—my calls them his “fast shoes” when picking them out! Overall the fit works well if your toddler does not have flat feet or are “toe-walkers”.

I'm continuing to introduce my son to some of my favorite sneakers and this pair of air max 95s are great. Stylish and comfortable for my toddler to wear, and a great way to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of a classic.
