Nice looking shoe--hurts ankles like crazy - This is a good looking shoe. Have always like NB shoes--but not these. They are comfortable on the feet but after walking for thirty or forty minutes my ankles hurt terribly. It happens every time I walk with them so something in the construction and my walking stride just don't work together. Have ordered a different pair of shoes to replace.

Great looks and comfort. Available in a variety of sizes (Thank you NB for making a 12.5)! Seemed a little wide in the toe box area, but that doesn't really cause any problems for me.

Pure Comfort - I was looking for a comfortable shoe after having foot surgery. This shoe is great. I'm on my feet all day (Personal Trainer). I could do without the clear plastic on the toe box. But it's not a big deal. I buy New Balance because I wear orthotics. And they're very accommodating.

Don't waste your money... Well I have only had my shoes for 20 days and they are just falling apart...The sole on the tip of the shoe is peeling off on the right and left foot...This is my first pair of NB shoes, and I must say...they are the most UNCOMFORTABLE shoe I have worn...But I’m not stopping here...my wife has about 15 pair of different NB shoes and loves them...so I shall try again with another pair...maybe the MX8507.

Great Stability! Great Shoe, feels very stable. Runs a little bigger than typical 12s, but NB usually do for me. Also, has some built in padding along the outside of the footbed which may feel a little weird at first but gives great support once you start working out in them. Would highly recommed, but compare with a half size smaller before you commit.

Great shoe great store - Zappos is by far the best website I have found for shoes. On my last order I ordered shoes at 10 o’clock at night and they came in the next day. By far the fastest service I’ve ever experienced. The shoe looks exactly how they picture it, and I’m completely satisfied with all the shoes I have purchased from this great site.

Nice shoes - I like these shoes. The foam thing over the bouncy part absorbs shock better than the bouncy part. I think they are awesome.
