New Balance

Super comfy running shoe! So lightweight & felt great on my run. Would definitely buy them again. No break in necessary. Took them on a run right out of the box & they were perfect.

I purchased these shoes for moderate aerobic exercise such as light running, Turbo Jam, and walking. I need a lot of support because I have nearly flat arches, very wide feet, and trouble with foot pain. I didn't need a super expensive pair (like I used to buy when I was a distance runner) but something comfortable, wide, and with a lot of support and control. These shoes are perfect! They are cozy, the arch support is adequate (I still may buy arch inserts), there is plenty of room in the toe box, they breathe well, and there is a lot of cushion in the soles. I am quite happy with this purchase. I bought my true size in a wide width and it was perfect. If I were to do a lot of distance running I would consider buying a half size larger. My only complaint is that they are not very attractive. I wish the mesh was a darker color. They are very WHITE. Added bonus: New Balance is a good company and is made in USA.

My husband has been wearing New Balance shoes for years, and he has always worn a size 12 Medium. So I ordered these in a size 12 Medium, and they're too small. On the plus side, my husband said if they fit, they'd be very comfortable.

Super comfortable, cool colors -- love that they are navy and not the typical black, great for casual wear. I can't see myself wearing for exercise of any kind, as they don't seem to be very supportive. But, I specifically bought them for hanging out, so I love them.

These are the best sneakers I've ever owned. I hate shopping for sneakers because I feel they've become so "loud" these days or the alternative- you look like a suburb mom. These are perfect. They are cool, trendy, but not ridiculous with features. They breathe really well. On a windy day you can actually feel the air going through the shoe. I also have seen them on other women in the gym; we give each other a "oh you've got the same discerning eye of sneakers too" look- like we're members of a secret cool club.

I've been doing Crossfit for the last 11 months and I love these shoes. The first 2 months, I was working out in expensive running shoes but my feet would end up on fire afterwards and felt like an extra 10 pounds were added during the workout. When I bought these, it was funky at first because they were super light and gripped so nicely with the floor. Ever since I made the switch, my feet have always been happy and didn't burn up anymore. It's helped me train better, stabilizing my posture when I'm lifting, jumping, lunging, and doing short-distance runs (max. 3 miles). It's been close to 1 year now and I'm ready for another pair -- they're bodaciously awesome!

Amazingly good looking sneaker. I got the wide width version and it's so comfortable.

Love these shoes. I run moderately - a couple miles a few days a week. These shoes very comfortable, never cause blisters, and on top of everything look super cool. My only complaint is that the shoe laces are way too long - but in the grand scheme of things that hardly matters.

I wear braces and they fit in these wider style nicely. They are much lighter in weight than the Drew's that I once bought which is what I was looking for. These particular style have the mesh upper and are very breathable. I am very satisfied with the fit and feel but wish they where a little more stylish.

Awesome! These are my favorite color! I love these shoes! They are comfy and wide enough for my feet.

These shoes are great! I've been wearing them for several weeks now, I am a big guy and I walk a mile to work each direction every day and these make the trip a pleasure. I have wide feet that sometimes make it hard to find shoes that fit properly, and these New Balances (I ordered a EE width) fit me like no other shoe ever has.

I've owned my share of hiking boots and have never found a pair that I thought really cut it on the trail, due to my fast pace. These shoes are hands down the best hiking shoes I've ever owned. The soles are great for hiking over varied ground and keep me steady at all times. The shoe is incredibly light weight and has wonderful heel cushioning and very good toe-to-earth feel in the front. Made in the USA. Stop looking and buy it.

This Trail Shoe from NB is like a featherbed for your feet. Run 70 mpw on the roads / trails in Overland Park, KS and NB quality is second to none. Also run in NB 814 and 880 trails. Great service by Zappos for picking up the 810.

Very comfortable. A little stiff at first but they broke in after a few days wearing in house. They breath well so my fee don't heat up. It's usually difficult to find my 4E width elsewhere so I'm a happy camper. They look pretty good with jeans too.

These shoes are great for any activity. I am a grad student and I leave them at school to wear all day while teaching and moving around the building. I go to the gym and lift weights with them and the connection to the ground I feel while doing heavy lifts is amazing (squats, power cleans, dead lifts). If you lift weights with conventional running shoes you should really be wearing flatter shoes and these are great. Also awesome for running.

Great shoe, was wearing another brand and my knees were hurting. A friend told me to try these out and no more knee pain.

I have been a recreational runner for years. I will run a couple of times a week off and on just to stay in better than poor shape. I have knee issues, and it I run too much, it really starts hurting. I have been running in Asics Gel Nimbus for years. Last summer, I decided to get some Saucony Minimalist Shoes. I really like them, and it seemed to be OK on my knees. I started running more, and I realized that my knees couldn't take more than 2 runs per week. During the 3rd run, my knee would start hurting, and I would have to stop otherwise it would be sore for a day or two. I decided to go with the MR890 as it was a transition show, so it gave me more support than the barefoot shoe, yet it wasn't as high in the heel as the Asics shoe. Plus, I hear everyone raving about New Balance. I bought these for myself for Christmas. I have been running 4 times per week for 4 weeks straight now. Going for 40 minutes at a time, and knock on wood, my knees are good to go! So far, I give these shoes 5 stars! Love them! Plus in the colorway that they are, I get many compliments! I've also heard that one guy at the gym is jealous! This shoe fits just like the Asics shoe that I've worn for years.

I ordered various minimal shoes and these were the most normal looking of them all. I tried the Merrell barefoot and the Vivobarefoot.

This shoe is perfect for me. I have a long narrow feet, and I have flat feet and use an OTC orthotic insert that is accommodated perfectly. I'm on my feet all day, and these shoes are supportive and comfortable. I also have another pair of NB shoes for only running, also with an orthotic insert. Love the shoe!

I have terrible feet- dropped metatarsal, neuromas and falling arches. Shoes will feel good the first 45 minutes and then the pain and numbness starts but these shoes were very comfortable and cushioning under the ball of my foot. I was able to take my dogs on a fairly long walk on pavement/sidewalks with them. They weren't a cure all but they were more comfortable and serviceable than others I have tried.
