We purchased last year's Excursion in a M width and it fit well. This new version does not provide as much width as the previous version did. Our child has sensory issues, so that my have played a part in how they felt, too. But they were an entire size bigger and the Wide width and our child said they felt very narrow in the middle. Beyond that, we love the Saucony line. They held up to playing outside for over a year, which I cannot say for Nike.These are very nice shoes for an active kid. I purchased these for my daughter to use while playing lacrosse. They have an aggressive tread (technically for trail running) that works really well on the grass fields. They are a good alternative to cleats in my opinion, plus they can be worn for other activities as well. They fit snug and are easy to tighten up. They are also somewhat water resistant, which is a plus. I'm a big fan of Saucony shoes, and these hit the mark as usual!My 8 year old loves the sneakers. The look great. She's rough on shoes and these look strong. Only issue is the shoe laces are fraying at the ends. I suspect she's running around with her shoes untied.Bought these shoes for my son that is very hard on shoes, they have held up great. We have not needed to look for shoes in the last 6 months and shoes never last that long in this house. Will rebuy when they wear outMy little girl loves them - they have great traction for running too!These have been wonderful shoes! I bought them for my 7 year old who spends a lot of times outdoors and on trails. He loves them! They fit as expected and hold up very well to hard play and hard work.Great shoe. Well made. Aggressive tread on the sole.Good support my grandchild loves wearing this shoe.Awesome shoes, comfortable and water resistant for those wet playgrounds.These are great, kid friendly rugged shoes. My daughter loves them!Love the color! Excellent quality! :)Excellent productThese shoes are great. Comfortable, flexible and durable. Great deal!
