These shoes are very stylish and the color just pops. I think that the price is a bit high, there isn't a whole lot of cushion to them, but they aren't uncomfortable either. If you have a wide foot make sure you don't buy the standard because they are a bit narrow. I have gotten a lot of compliments on how they look.

Satisfied. Overall, I am happy with the shoes. I tried quite a few of the competing brands and felt this one had the best fit for me. The balls of my feet are wider than the heels so I ordered the wide shoe in my normal size. The last two shoelace holes are pretty far back on the ankle part of the shoes so they provide good ankle support.

The shoes did not work out for me. I ordered the wrong size. But Zappos' customer service is amazing! I ordered the shoes about 10 pm one evening, and they were at my house within 12 hours! At no charge! And it was so easy to return the shoes and purchase another pair. I had the right size shoes in another day! Keep up the good work, Zappos.

I forgot to say in my last review of this shoe that because the toe area narrows slightly expect to wear a larger size than normal, at least that is how it worked for me. Most street shoes I wear size 8 to 8 and a half. But in sneakers of various brands I always wore a 9. In this sneaker I wear a 9 and a half. Don't worry about that though; the style of the shoe does not make your foot look giant sized! Looks perfectly normal and fits great. It was surprising to me to wear a larger size, but fit is everything and this shoes fits awesome. I can wear it all day long and my feet feel well-supported and happy.

I strongly recommend this shoe. I went to a New Balance store where they measured my foot and had me stand on a device that took an imprint of the sole of my foot from which they could determine which of their shoes would fit my particular foot best. I tried their suggested shoes, of which this was one, but I also tried some of their other shoes and by far and away the ones they recommended to me fit my foot much better, so I recommend this process if you have a New Balance store near you. I bought my first pair of these shoes from them but now that I know the fit is perfect I am ordering additional backups pairs from Zappos to have when these wear out. I have the hot pink Breast Cancer support shoe and it is super cute, I've gotten continuous compliments on it from both women AND men. This shoe is lightweight, supportive and comfy straight from the box with no break in period at all. My favorite sneaker I have ever worn and the fact that New Balance donates a percentage of sales of the pink shoe to breast cancer organizations is a super bonus.

The shoes are beautiful but when trying to wear them at work, 8 hours, on my feet the whole day I had quite a bit of foot pain. In their defense, I have foot pain with all shoes after working all day. Zappos was amazing as always with their return. I called them to do an exchange and recieved my new shoes the very next day, before even sending the old ones back. I love zappos and have been a customer for a few years now and will never get shoes anywhere else ever again. I recommend zappos to people all the time and will continue to do so.

Great shoe! I have a very narrow foot. These are good, not great, but I have never found a shoe narrow enough so I would recommend these.

Although I can always use a narrower shoe, I'm grateful that New Balance offers a narrow width. The outer heel support is really stiff (a good thing), but the cushion around the ankle comes up high enough to rub the Achilles tendon uncomfortably.

These shoes are great. They are fantastic colors. As in they are flashy enough to be noticed but not flashy enough that they are an eyesore. They are comfortable for running around in a hospital environment. This is my first pair of New Balance and I am impressed. I really like them.

These are great running shoes, which I even use them for aerobic class. I generally replace the sole with all my workout shoes. You do not have to replace these. They are comfortable and give cushion at the balls of your feet and good ankle support. This is my second pair.

I love shopping on Zappos because of the selection, the prices and most of all the next day shipping. I was so excited when my New Balance shoes arrived at my doorstep. They are supportive, comfortable and attractive. My arches feel supported, but my foot is allowed to go through normal range of motion. The materials and construction are high quality. I've been a New Balance for for many years and do not plan to switch to another brand of shoe for exercise and daily activities.

I bought these shoes in blue and love them. The fit is great. I\'m a walker, not a runner, but I love how they feel. These shoes have more cushioning than walking shoes do and since I have very narrow feet I can use all the cushioning I can get!

I have wide feet, and I\'ve found that New Balance shoes always fit me well. In most casual and dress shoes, I wear a 7.5 EE. But with New Balance shoes, I always order 8 D. The D width is wide enough, and the generous toe box makes the shoes very comfortable.

Finally, a pair of sneakers that feel good on my feet! I have been trying to recover from Achilles Tendinitis. Not only are these the only pair of shoes/sneakers that have been on my feet in a year that do not hurt, but they are pretty and pink! With my tendon problems and high arches, I highly recommend them!

This is a great fitting shoe. Very comfortable. I ordered half a size larger since I tend toward shin splints. They have worked great and so far I have no shin discomfort while running. However, if I were just to use it as a walking shoe, I would order true to size.

I wear a 6 1/2 EE and need my arch supported. These shoes are made just right for the arch support in the right spot. Only drawback is getting used to the extra high padding at the heel. Wore around the house and felt energized up the calf, too. I may be 55, but still dig the bright orange.

I have narrow feet and have always been a fan of New Balance shoes. Size was consistent with my last pair of NB\'s. They are very comfortable and stable (I have weak ankles) and felt broken in on my first run. Would recommend them highly. Only downside is the laces are way too long.

I love these shoes! I work 13 hour shifts at an urgent care clinic so I'm on my feet a lot! When I get home my feet don't even hurt! I have almost flat feet, and these give me great arch support. I bought the navy blue and silver combo and they match just about any color scrubs I wear. I bought them for work, but I find myself wearing them everywhere now! They're very breathable and flexible; it only took a few hours to break them in.

Bought the New Balance shoe after being a Asics wearer, for the Moderate Stability control. Great running shoe, quick dry for all weather running. I have had the shoe about a month and found I had a lot less foot pain with the comfort foot bed. I even walked all over Disneyland for a week with my feet still happy at the end of the day. I would totally recommend if you are a pronator that is looking for some correction.

 |  | Dear Zappos, My daughter (Morgan) is a student at Ohio State University.
Approximately one month ago she had emergency gall bladder surgery. On Tuesday, September 15th, she had a follow up with her surgeon before she was to leave to move into her dorm on Thursday, September 17th. At the appointment, the surgeon advised that under no circumstances was she to lift over ten pounds until the end of October. We were told to that she would have to use a rolling book bag. My friend highly recommended Zappos.com. On Tuesday, September 15th, Morgan and I picked out a book bag from Zappos. Morgan was so anxious to place her online order, she did not choose the priority shipping option. I called Zappos within 15 minutes of her placing the order. Your customer service rep was very kind and far exceeded my customer service expectations by making me a VIP and offering to waive the
overnight fee. I was very impressed and very grateful. The bag arrived overnight as promised, but it was too small. I hated to return the book bag because your rep had been so kind. Yesterday, a beautiful get well bouquet arrived at our home for Morgan. It was from Zappos! There is no way I will return that bag without picking something else out from Zappos. In addition, I want EVERYONE to know what a wonderful company you are. I am so impressed and cannot thank you enough Zappos! Also, thank you for giving me the e-mail address to send my feedback. THANK YOU ZAPPOS! BTW - Morgan is doing great! Go Bucks! |  | ~ Elaine C., September 26 2009
