Great shoe. It isn't as breathable as I would have liked.

New Balance WT800 - cool -
I have a wide foot and high arch and they work great. Felt they are true to size. Good grip. Slick low-pro design. Perfect.

Tongue Tied -
I love the comfort of these sneakers. Overall the shoe gets 3 stars because the tongue is connected to the rest of the shoe so it's a pain in the butt to put on. The up side is, once you get the sneaker on, you don't want to take it off.

Great fashion AND function -
When I got this shoe, I thought two things: 1) it looks too good to be a serious hiking shoe, and 2) I think it's too small (I wear an 11). I was wrong on both counts. All it took to fit like a glove was wearing the shoes for a week with slightly bulkier socks than I normally wear. I got tons of compliments on the looks during the week I was breaking them in. This is a super-grippy, stable, and comfy hiking shoe for serious rock hopping and climbing. Now, that my first pair are covered with trail dust, I need to buy a second pair for goin' out on the town! Highly recommended! If you like your shoes to fit a bit big, order up. I'd say these are close to about 1/4 size smaller than advertised, which is no problem considering I like my hiking shoes to fit snug.

Almost the perfect shoe -
I read many reviews before purchasing this shoe & was torn on the "buy 1/2 size up" vs. "it is true to size." I opted to order my usual size, and while it fits, there is something about the toe area that does feel a bit small (it's NOT small, but it feels small...maybe its low on the toes, therefore feels less roomy). Had I ordered a larger size, my foot would be slipping at the heel. It took me a few days to get used to the shoe -- I have NB running shoes, and these are very different. Your foot sits much lower in this shoe and the shoe itself is much lower around the ankle & heel; at first I almost felt like there wasn't enough shoe for support. NOW, after giving it a week or so, I really like it and am comfortable with the fit. The shoe is SUPER grippy (you can hear yourself walking on some surfaces) and while not a warm or waterproof shoe, the grip was extremely helpful in the snow last week. It took me a few days to get used to the lack of tongue opening (don't know the technical term, it's like putting your foot into a sock), but I’m used to that now as well. I love the look of the shoe, it's sporty and functional and a great color!

Feather light and fits like a glove -- true to size -
The shoe: feather light, fits like a glove (I wear an 8.5 and I ordered an 8.5), grippy tread, great lacing system. The laces are easy to pull tight and there are 2 additional eyelets which can be used to ensure an even more snug fit. My heel was riding up a bit but then I inserted the lacing through the furthest eyelet and all was well. I took the shoes for a spin on a packed dirt trail and they gripped really well. I wouldn't wear these in rainy weather (I think they'd soak through fast) but they are great for dry climates. One small nit -- the toe box has this stitching (decorative or functional I can't tell) that will probably abrade off the course of trail running.
Another word about sizing, I was concerned based on other reviewer’s comments so I called customer service. The sales person had first hand experience and said I should order the 8.5, my true size. Also, my foot is on the narrower side.

Amazing!
First off, I have to say that the customer service at Zappos is unlike any other online retailer I have ever purchased from. I placed my order late in the afternoon on Thursday and my shoes arrived by lunch time on Friday. They upgraded my already free shipping to overnight!
The shoes themselves fit amazingly well! They are comfortable and I was so happy to find a size 10.5 since it's such a rare size. I got the green ones and the color is awesome! They're very eye-catching but not obnoxious.
After reading some of the other reviews I was a little afraid of just how intense the tread on these shoes might be but it's perfect. Great for running outside on trails and even winter conditions.

Awesome -
These shoes are sooo super cute. As I am (sigh) getting older, I can't wear my cute flat bottom shoes anymore, so I was looking for a decent looking, more supportive shoe and I found it! I know some people had to order a size up, but I wear an 8.5 and they fit perfectly. I gave a 4 star on comfort only because I wish it had more arch support since I have high arches. I probably will buy another pair for the summer because I like them so much.

My first New Balance sneaker -
This New Balance is great looking and very comfortable. I ordered my regular size and a pair ½ a size larger based on customer reviews. I don't wear heavy socks and for walking/running didn't want a sneaker with too much extra room so I stuck with my regular size. It was important to lace them and leave them on for awhile to appreciate the fit.

One of my best shoe purchases ever.
These are *the* most comfortable shoes I have ever owned in my life. I find myself wearing them at every opportunity, just because they put a bounce in my step and always feel great. Although their fit is "true to size," I would agree with others who recommend going up ½ a size if your foot is more squared than tapered at the toes. My toes are more boxy than tapered/narrow, and had I not gone up ½ a size, I would have found the toebox of the shoe too narrow with my SmartWool socks. Love the fit, style and the colors (hokie maroon and orange!). I'm seriously considering the purchase of a second pair as backups. Just outstanding.

Awesome trail shoe!
I bought these fully expecting them to be more decorative than functional, but I run and hike trails in them every day, and their grip, cushioning and look are fantastic! Couldn't have asked for a better shoe. I bought 1/2 size up as recommended by other reviewers, and they fit really great.

Great shoe -
This is a great, very lightweight shoe. Really cool looking and great fit. Aggressive tread on bottom as some others have said but it's a great shoe for walking or trail running and a lot cooler looking than most. It's actually more purple/brick red/grey than it looks in photos.

Lightweight, good support -
These are great! Lightweight, effective support...and I think they are pretty cute considering most exercise shoes are soo ugly these days...
I followed the advice of other reviews and went with a half size larger (I usually wear 7.5 and went for the size 8 which fits fine).
Thanks Zappos!

Great Look/So-So Fit -
Not in love with the fit -- my heel sinks lower than my toes (like an Earth shoe/negative heel fit) which I don't like at all. Also, I took the advice of some other reviewers and ordered a 1/2 size up, but wish I'd ordered a 1/2 size down -- the toe box is very roomy and I can actually fit a sport insole inside the shoe and that helps them fit much better. I advise ordering your normal size if you don't have overly wide feet.
Anyway, I'll probably keep them and just add an additional insole that gives my heel more of a lift. Also not sure they would provide enough support for city pavement runs, so I'll use them more for long walks around the city.

Some times a shoe comes along and breaks your heart...
I fell in love with these immediately when I saw them in a catalog... A hip trail running shoe, in great colors, with New Balance quality! Well, they arrived today, and they are SMOKING hot looking. But. They are truly a half size small. My toes are touching the ends and there's no way I could run in these, or even walk comfortably. Sooo... back they go. And since I'm a size 12, there's no going up a half size. I'm disappointed with New Balance, as they are always so consistent with sizing as well as everything else. Sob...

I love these shoes. They are so cute and comfortable. These run a half a size smaller though than normal. I normally wear a 9.5 in runners and I wish I had ordered a 10 instead.

I thought I'd have to wait until it starts warming up before I could get any use out of them, but they are actually pretty warm. The traction on the bottom is great, even on the ice. They look good and they are so comfortable!

These shoes are great. They fit fantastic, and are very comfortable and supportive. Caution: the tread on the bottom is very aggressive, and you can see my tracks on the carpet for days after I was in the room!
