Customers like the comfort of the shoes. They say they provide comfortable support for 5-mile walks on sidewalks or trails, with so much support for their heels. They also love the cushion they provide and wider toe box so they are not left with blisters. They are very light weight and provide great support for weight lifting workouts and cardio running. The foam that conforms to their foot helps them stay supported and pain-free.

NOT for wide feet.

NOT for wide feet.
Great looking shoe but not ideal for wide footed people. Your toes and outer arch of foot will have overhang because the sole is still narrow. Dont buy these for wide feet. There isn't enough support for wide feet.

Always get wides so was concerned, but these were great. Go up a half or full size in New Balance. Quick, speedy return on cement or track, no turnover when I pitch my foot outward (a test I always do), fine for my slight supination, lightweight, look great, perfect.

I like and use these so much that I bought a second pair. They provide comfortable support for my 5-mile walks on sidewalks or trails. The ventilation keeps my feet a happy temperature, and they are very lightweight. They wash well in the washing machine. The laces stay tied.

Regarding size, I had to go up one size to get the right length. I have to lace in the extra holes to keep my heel from slipping. The fit is perfect with those tweaks.

I admit that I originally bought this shoe because I liked the color and style. It didn't look clunky, and I figured if anything - I could just wear it for days when I had a little heavier walking than my heeled boots could handle. I was so happy with how comfortable this shoe was once I got it on! I have had this pair for a full season, and I definitely notice that it's different from when I first tried them on - the insole is worked down some (as expected) but I did end up wearing these shoes nearly every single day this summer which was very unexpected! I will definitely be buying another pair once these are done!

These shoes is made from a stretchy mesh in the toe area. I bought a wide width, which would have been okay but because of the mesh they hug my toes on the top. Which bothers me. The color I had chosen is super nice. The fit is good, very comfortable beside the mesh hugging my top toes lol. If I wear a thicker sock it doesn't really bother me. If your sensitive to touch on your feet, I would suggest getting a bigger width then normal. The mesh is snug. For the price you can't beat it. Especially with a shoe that comes with width options. My feet are wide but flat from being pregnant 2 times in a row. I would normally look for a wide shoe, i should have got the extra wide width with this one. But it's okay It's not sooo terrible that I'm returning. They are good for running and casual walking. I just wear a thicker sock.

My fave running shoes by far. I’m a fairly casual runner; currently only clocking in 20 miles or so per week. While they’re not minimalist in the least, they aren’t so padded that you feel disconnected from the ground, which is the case with a lot of running shoes. The upper is also less bulky than normal and kind of molds to your feet. Highly recommended!

Regarding fit - I have wide feet which makes finding properly fitting shoes a challenge, and I stick to a few brands that I know will work because of this. New balance is generally the best for me. While I normally wear a 10, and even own these exact shoes in that size, I found that bumping up to a 10.5 was more comfortable.

It is a very well made shoe, the bottom is very comfortable the material is breathable but there is zero, I mean 0% arch support. The way these are designed your arch hangs over the end of the sole of the shoe. That is very uncomfortable. I loved these shoes other wise but I need that support.

This is my first time buying anything NB. These shoes are amazing - they’re so comfortable. I bought them because I started running outside during this corona epidemic and wow! There’s so much support for my heels and loving the stretch top as well. I’ve started looking in to NB workout clothes now - I’m sold on the brand lol

Realize these are womens. I am a guy and still bought them, but you have to measure 1.5 sizes bigger than your actual shoes size if you buy them. Thats for any NB shoe! They look great on me so if youre a guy checking these shoes out go for it lol!

Reviewed in Spain on October 23, 2020
Han sido para un regalo y no han podido quedar más contentos. Zapatillas muy chulas, transpirables, ligeras como una pluma y con una buena amortiguación. Son realmente para correr, pero puestas en el día a día aportan comodidad y ligereza a los pies, a parte de quedar como un guante por el forro exterior tipo malla. Buen diseño y calidad New Balance. Si las pillas en oferta, son una buena compra.
