"We believe most consumers think "Made in USA" means that real manufacturing jobs were provided to U.S. workers in order to make that product. The shoes produced in our U.S. factories are made by U.S. workers using both U.S. and imported materials. Where the level of domestic value is at least 70%, we have labeled the shoe "Made in USA." Where it falls below that level, we have qualified it as containing both domestic and imported materials. This determination is based in part on a survey of consumers conducted by the FTC." --New Balance Inc.

This shoe is very comfortable, and I'm so happy with it. I'm not a runner; I use this shoe for casual, every day summer wear.

Best shoe I've had in ages - This shoe is comfortable and has a fairly good arch support. I was pleasantly surprised. I had to get a larger shoe and it was no problem. Great shoe for someone who has to have a larger size. I'm sold on New Balance W498. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit & these are tops!

Great Shoes - I wear a size 4 shoe and in the past was only able to buy children’s tennis shoes which did not fit properly. This shoe fit perfectly and is so comfortable. I am 65 and can wear them all day long with no tired feet. I also wear them to my exercise class. I now have tennis shoes that have arch support, don't say Stride Rite on the back or have soles that light up. I placed my order one evening, received email confirming my order and when they were shipped. I received the shoes the next day! That is the best customer service I have received ever. Thank you Zappos, life is good.

Other shoes recommended by reviewer: I wear a size 4 so am limited on shoe choice.

NB's changing? I'm surprised that the fit is not as usual; the shoes have always been the best fit and most comfortable I could buy and I never had to worry about the consistency of fit. This time the shoe feels tool long, has too much toe room and one is too tight across the width of the foot. Disappointed!!!

Extremely comfortable!!! I love these sneakers. I feel like I am walking on clouds. I really love the fact they come in wide sizes. I would definitely buy these again.

The only shoe I wear - I'm on my feet all day and have been wearing this model for years. It has a wide toe box and a balanced feel when I walk.

Happy feet - I was looking all over for a pair of New Balance running sneaks that just had a navy trim...to go with jeans and a new navy all weather jacket. I have problems with my feet and knees and my old pair are old and ugly!!!! My orthotic fits very comfortably and I am a "happy 65 yr old camper."
