I am a 77 year old man with very slim feet; have always had trouble finding a shoe slim enough. Thank goodness for New Balance and Zappos. True to size and excellent service. Thanks.

Very lightweight; low-to-the-ground; excellent arch support; a little tight on my high instep; not extremely supportive for competitive volleyball.

Overall:

I fluctuate between a New Balance product and a Saucony. I have sensitive feet (bunion on left big toe) and have to accommodate for occasional pain. This New Balance 993 has worked for me, when on a treadmill for long period of time or if I choose to walk briskly through large park (4 mile circumference) in my neighborhood. If you want flexible room around sensitive spot(s) on feet, try this shoe. Good balance, cushion, flexibility.

I ordered these shoes for my wife, her third pair and she\'s very happy with the fit, the quality and the comfort. Zappos is the most responsive and customer-friendly of any on-line supplier I\'ve used. A huge stock assortment, super fast shipping and a convenient return policy mean Zappos is the first place I look for shoes.

I am very happy with these sneakers. I use them primarily for commuting from work and I find them to be very comfortable. I accumulate roughly 20-25 miles per week on these shoes and find my feet and knees to be in good shape upon getting home. I am a heavier walker at about 220 lbs and find them to be stable, pretty supportive and balanced nicely. I bought them in the all black and the glow in the dark sole is kinda cool. The styling is typical New Balance 900 series. Stylistically I prefer the 574 series but the 9s are better for exercise. Overall, I would recommend this shoe, especially if you are a larger framed person. The all-black are subdued enough where you could almost wear them to work on a casual day and not draw attention to the fact that they are sneakers.

I had knee surgery recently and was taking a trip to San Francisco and knew I would be walking a lot. They were great: comfortable and gave my knee the support it needed and being black were not too noticable with nice pants. BTW:I wear an unusal size-5.5w-and Zappos is the only place I can find shoes that fit.

Reviewer: from Korea

Overall:

My new travel shoe: NB MT875. I am not a trail runner, but started wearing trail running shoes as versatile, rugged yet comfortable travel shoe. I will be bringing the NB MT875 on my upcoming trip back to Borneo. In person, they are very much mostly grey (charcoal) in color with only hints of black and a deep, rusty orange. The lighter grey piping/strip which curves from the toe area up through the lace area is actually a shiny, plastic-like fabric. The meshy area almost serves as the "shell" to the underlying fabric "liner." Although listed as a running shoe, I found that I could wear a smaller size in the MT875 than I do in most running shoes. They have more of a X-trainer toe-box. I held a size 14 4E up to a pair of size 15 Columbia trail runners and the NB were actually larger! They still have to be tested in the field, but I like what I've seen so far and they have all of the attributes which will make them a great travel shoe.

When I called to order a larger size than the size I had originally ordered, the service person apologized for sending the wrong size! I assured him that it was my error. He was friendly and helpful. The replacement shoes arrived the next day. Really good service, and the shoes are great.

For my situation the shoe is perfect. Very comfortable, good support. I feel it would be a great shoe for a nice mountain walk, which is what it is designed for, but I use them on concrete. I use inserts, have a very narrow, long flat foot, and I really like these shoes.

At first, I was skeptical when I read the other reviews. But I must say these shoes are the best I\'ve ever bought. After 30+ years, my feet no longer hurt! I will definitely continue buying these shoes.

Overall:

I love these shoes. They fit perfectly and have been comfortable from the first wearing. It was obvious from the description and from photos that this wasn't a typical heavily cushioned shoe, but it certainly works well for easy walking and running. They look great as well. I bought the grey, but to my eye it looks more like taupe. Am buying the other color today. Seems like just when I find a shoe that works for me the company gets creative with new shoe designs and then I can't find the one that I wanted!

As reviewed by others the shoe is 1/2 size small so order bigger than usual. It is very comfortable with good support. The sole is stiffer than usual, which I like a lot.

Overall:

When I tried my true size in these shoes, there was insufficient arch support for me, but I ordered a half-size larger and added ladies' Dr. Scholl's Tri-Comfort Orthotics (about $6 at my grocery store) and they feel wonderful! I did the same for a similar pair of New Balance as well.

These were purchased for my husband who is unable to tie shoes well. They are fantastic and we are getting another pair. The velcro allows the shoe to be loosened if necessary. They are the exact same shoe he was wearing without the laces.

Great walking shoe. Good arch support. Took them out of the box and they felt like old friends, very comfortable. True to size and width. Highly recommend this shoe. Also, dealing with Zappos is a pleasure. Ordered them one day and the next day they were at my front door; best customer service on the planet.

I could not believe that these were New Balance shoes! They had zero cushioning and were at least a half size smaller than the stated size. They also had a very unpleasant chemical smell.

Overall:

I\'ve been wearing these for a couple of weeks now -- primarily as a casual shoe but also to work out when I travel. Very comfortable. I have chronic tendinitis in both Achilles so I need to be careful about arch and heel support and stability. Always seem to have better luck with New Balance and these are no exception!

Overall:

I have bought New Balance in the past and never had any problems. I wanted a pair of black comfortable shoes to wear at work as I walk a lot. These shoes were a big disappointment. After 1 day of walking, my feet ached all over and my toes were cramped. I even changed the insole and they still were uncomfortable. I take a 9.5 or 10 depending on the shoe and I ordered these in a 10. I gave them to my sister to see if she could use them as I couldn't send them back after walking all day in them. This was a bad buy in hindsight, but they sure do look comfortable in the picture.

I have worn New Balance for years now, and these are without doubt the best ones I've had. I work for a big box store and walk up to five miles per day, on concrete floors. My legs don't hurt, and my feet feel like I'm walking on air! I would not hesitate to recommend these shoes; in fact, I do every day because I get so many compliments on them.

Very satisfied with these shoes. I bought them to replace my old New Balance shoes. My old ones have been discontinued and these are the closest to what my old shoes were like. Very comfortable. I am not a runner as this shoe states it is for, rather, I am a mother who got planter fasciitis with her pregnancy. My podiatrist recommended these shoes and they are awesome! Highly recommended. I put my orthotics in them as well and they work perfectly. They are attractive to look at as well.

Reviewer: Judy P from Arizona

Overall:

These New Balance athletic shoes are the best I have ever had. The wide toe box keeps my fussy toes comfortable. The support is very cushioned. And if you have never had velcro closures, they tighten and remain tight, and of course, they are just easier to use than lace ties. This is a good shoe that I hope will always be there for me throughout the years. Don\'t mess with this combination of comfort, good looks, and ease!

Overall:

I have to agree with the bottom review. The glow in the dark 993s are the hottest color to date in series that NB has created so far. I think the shoe is very comfortable, but like the other review said, the standard colors are geared for the older crowd. The only drawback is they need to make the limited colors in wide widths. The 993s do stretch out over time, though. NB has just released a dark grey, black sole with baby blue trim 993 for men as well. NB is starting to get it right.
