Wanted to let you know that the bottoms of these shoes are slippery. Trying them on inside didn't prepare me for walking on wet pavement. Was so surprised because they look like a good outdoor walking shoe.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: ECCO and Rieker seem to be better made.

Good work shoe. On my flat feet all day and shoes felt comfortable from day one. Could have a little more cushion and New Balance does like to use a lot of uncovered seam work in their uppers, but overall a good fit and one of the few decent styles around in a narrow width. But the very best thing: doing business with Zappos.

These are the most comfortable shoes I think I have ever owned, and they fit perfectly, well one full size bigger. I usually take a 9.5, but these are 10.5. Width is true to size at M. I have owned them for about a year and I couldn't be happier. Oh, and the green color is fantastic; looks great with all of my pants. I love the way they look. Thank you, Zappos!

These shoes were comfortable right out of the box, no breaking in needed. The narrow width I needed was perfect. If you want to wear with thicker, wool hiking socks, order a 1/2 size larger. I would buy these again; they're a great hiking shoe and also comfortable for walking around in a little snow. Good traction.

I have had the misfortune of having heel spurs and pain which limited my walking. I have always purchased good comfortable shoes but feel that New Balance gave the best support. These shoes have allowed me to walk on a vacation and I am now restarting an exercise program. I plan to buy other colors. \r\n

New Balance is the best fit for my foot; I have been purchasing this brand since 2004, when I pulled a nerve on my left leg. The chiropractor recommended that I purchase a good walking shoe with proper support. My foot is in between sizes 9 to 9 1/2 so I buy the larger size which is perfect for me. The convenience of purchasing the shoes online is great, especially the quick delivery; Zappos is the best company for this, I'm very happy with my shoes and with Zappos. Thank you.

I bought a second pair of brown WW749 because I liked the first one so much. They are very comfortable and look good with casual pants. They run true to size, a little narrow and good arch support. This pair is more narrow than my first pair, so I am not as pleased with them for everyday wear.

I purchased these shoes before going on vacation.\r\nThe fit is great, both the length and width run true to size. I did find that they need a little breaking in. I have wore New Balance shoes for at least the last 25 years. I don\'t think you can beat them. Also Zappo Shoes are wonderful, so consider with their returns, and fast to ship your product. Also I have narrow foot, and is hard to find narrow shoes. Thanks Again Zappo

These shoes are perfect for me. My foot is size 11 and finding shoes narrow enough and functional at the same time is very difficult. These shoes fill all my hiking needs. They have carried me many miles in the Sierras this summer.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: New Balance seems to be the only brand making size 11 narrow enough in athletic shoes

This is my second pair of these and I was pleased to see they still make this kind and this color. They are very comfortable, come in a narrow width, good tread/grip, and are my favorite color which doesn't show the dirt, dirt brown!

I have shopped with Zappos quite a few times and have also had the experience of returning a shoe. Not because there is something wrong with the product but, with the foot. Zappos' customer service is absolutely the best. They make me feel happy after talking to anyone on the phone. I feel confident that my order will be processed in a speedy way. Additionally if you sign up to be a VIP it gets better. On returns, I do not have one problem. No grumbling about the fact that a return has to be done. Just a happy voice on the phone telling me everything will be ok and done as promised. Wow, what a wonderful group! I would love to work for this company. Everyone is happy. Do not hesitate ordering anything. Thank you Zappos' crew of good humored people.

Nice shoe, but at least a full size smaller than stated. I don't know what it is with athletic shoes but they all seem to run small, maybe the manufacturers are trying to save on materials. I don't usually have the problem with dress shoes or boots. If they fit I would most likely keep them as they're stylish and seemingly well made.

I ordered this pair in 7.5 wide width. This pair of NB shoes are not wide at all. They felt okay on the carpet at home, but once I wore them to work the shoes became uncomfortable. You will need to order them a bit larger to accommodate for the narrow width! I could not send them back as I had worn them outside.

I love these shoes! I paid attention to other reviews that suggest getting one size larger, and I'm glad I did. They are a little roomy for me, since I have AAAA feet, so I use gel inserts and they fit perfectly! I also love Zappo's policy of free shipping in each direction, with my narrow feet, it's the only way I could ever order shoes online.

Nice Shoe. I found this shoe to be true to size. I originally ordered a size larger as some said in reviews and the shoes were too big. Ordered a size smaller and they fit. I did purchase Spenco Total support insoles as the original insoles are rather thin. The 2 combined make a very comfortable shoe.

This shoe is not true to size. The width size is off. I suggest getting it one size larger in width for a good fit.

I have had many pairs of New Balance shoes and these are the first not to fit true to size. I wear 2E and these are a "d" at best. I suggest buying one size higher in width.

My experience of purchasing in Zappos a pair of New Balance was exceptional and a surprise. Surprise because in other sites you are only a name; in Zappos you are a person. Their customer service is cordial and ready to assist you with no hesitation. My wife has a disability in her right foot. She buys New Balance because they are very well build and their design, whether it was done on purpose or not; assists her in maintaining her stability during walking. In addition, they are very comfortable. I will strongly recommend to anyone who is looking for a pair of sneakers that are comfortable and reasonably priced, to buy New Balance.

I am impressed with the shoes and even more impressed with the customer service. I ordered a pair of New Balance athletic shoes recently; they arrived promptly and fit very well, but I decided that I would much prefer the green to the brown. I called to indicate that I would like to make the exchange and received the best customer service I have ever received regarding an online order. There was no problem at all, I shipped my shoes back the next day and I received my new shoes that same day! Fantastic! I have heard that Zappos is merging with Amazon, is that true? If so, I hope they will learn from you. I can't think of one thing that you didn't handle quickly, professionally and in a friendly manner.

I am wearing New Balance size 11 2-A narrow brown shoes. They fit very good; I have a difficult foot to fit. New Balance seems to run a little narrower than others in this style, which is good for me. I have never gone wrong purchasing shoes from Zappos. Their customer service is excellent and they stand behind their products. I wish they would have more selections in size 11 AAAA and especially the David Tate brand.

A real nice lighter-weight shoe for hiking/walking or any kind of outdoor work that doesn’t require a steel toe. From past experience, I knew that New Balance runs short so I always order a half size larger than what I normally wear. The 2A or N width was good (with good socks and laced up tight) considering these aren’t available in a 3A.

I have nothing but good things to say about the brand New Balance. For several years I have bought nothing but this brand for both work and recreation. I always know that I can buy buy this brand and it is comfortable right away. There is no break in period like with most shoes. The sizing is very true. Each shoe fits exactly the same. Very Comfortable! This particular shoe w749 is all that I expected. Feels great and looks great. Would definitely recommend!
