I got the red/black color combination. Note: in person the red on these shoes is a brick red. Not the bright red/orange shown in the picture on this site. They look great anyway. The length is the same as my M574s that I have, but the width is narrower. My feet are on the narrow side so I consider the M574s to be a wide shoe, and these M373 to be average width. Free overnight shipping from Zappos is great! If you are looking for size comparisons, I wear a 9 1/2 in these and my Nike running shoes are a 10.

The shoe definitely fits true to width. However, I would say that it runs small by about a size in length. A nice stylish retro shoe. Great for weekends.

Straight up, these things are da cat's pajamas. The number of dates these shoes have landed me is absurd. Thanks Zappos!

These shoes are very comfortable and cute. They could have better arch support, but they are adequate enough for wandering around town. The colors are fantastic. They do run a half size small. I say this because I am consistently a size 8, so order up a half size for the best fit.

The shoes I've ordered were just fine. I was expecting a shoe with a heavier upper and a more giving sole; the pair I ordered were very light with a stiff sole. At first I was disappointed until I started wearing them for their intended purpose. Now I realize they are just what I needed.

Great shoe! Really comfortable. The sizes run a little small, so you may want to order one a little bigger than what you normally get.

These shoes are great. I bought them as a gift for my shoe-snobby husband. He loves them. Look terrific, fit as expected.

These are the best shoes that I have ever owned... Hands down! There was no break in needed, and no sore feet. I typically wear skate shoes and I always felt like I was walking around in soggy shoes because of there weight, wearing the Classics I felt like my feet were lighter. I wear a 14 and typically a extra wide but I didn\'t need it with these.

Overall Rating:
These shoes are cool, but offer no support at all. They are extremely flat on the bottom and the insole is glued into the shoe, so you're stuck with it. I have the navy pair and they are some of my favorites. I also have the all black pair which are cool, but I find myself never wearing them. Overall they are comfortable for everyday wear, not running or anything. Run pretty true to size; can be snug, but after a week or so of wearing they'll fit fine. I only say this because I wear a 13 and I have a wide foot.

Great shoe for walking, relaxing, everyday life. I would never run in these purely because I think you would roll your ankle easily because they hit right below your ankle. The Lego pattern on the bottom is comfortable, though I changed the insole out with memory foam ones which makes a world of difference for me since I'm flat footed. One of my favorite New Balance shoes besides the U455, though I think I like the U455s because they run wider. These shoes run pretty true to size, but can be snug at first as any shoe can, though after a week of wearing, they'll fit perfect.

Comfortable shoes when changed out with memory foam insoles. I say this only because I am flat footed and wear a 13, so you may not need them. Good for walking, working out, not running. Run a little snug, but after wearing for a week or so they break in good. I always switch out the insoles on all my New Balance Classics as I would recommend to anyone just because they don't offer a lot of support if you need it. I own the gray/green ones and they go well with just about anything. If you like these then check out the U455 for a wider fit and more color selection.

I own the gray/turquoise/navy pair and the brown/yellow pair and they are pretty comfortable. I always switch out all my New Balance classic shoes with memory foam insoles so that helps a lot. One thing I like about these shoes is that they are somewhat wider than normal D's and the sole is thicker/taller so my jeans don't get caught underneath the shoes when I'm walking which happens a lot with my New Balance U420s & M410s . Also the Lego pattern on the bottom is good for walking, etc., though I wouldn't really run in these, but weights and walking they're good for.

Reviewer:Anonymous from Los Angeles
Overall Rating:
These shoes have been great for me so far. The first thing I noticed is how exceptionally light they are. The fit is very snug. Most importantly to me, the shoes are very flexible. They move and roll with my feet rather than hindering my natural movement which is why I am now avoiding shoes with "support" that always seem to be too rigid. I have been using these as work shoes and providing that I don't ever drop anything heavy on my toes, I will continue to wear these shoes instead of work boots. They have been so comfortable and I am much happier at the end of the day. I should note (and I'm sure reviewers here also noticed) that the shade of blue is quite a bit brighter than pictured. I don't mind, though.

Crappy shoes. I bought these for my 13 year old daughter for school wear. She's not "rough" on shoes, but even if she was, these should have held up. The shoe/fabric itself is separating from the sole of the shoe. She has only worn these shoes for 2 1/2 months. I am going to attempt to contact New Balance and see if I can get a refund or replacement.

These shoes are my all-time favorite! This is my 4th pair (of this or similar New Balance shoe) in about 8 years. I wear these everywhere. They are very comfortable with nice width. Cushion on the sides and tongue give the shoe a little more bulk than most casual sneakers, but make the wear more comfortable and warm. The footbeds are somewhat flat, but not hard. They are very long-lasting if they are taken care of and cleaned up periodically. Highly recommended!

I bought the grey/green color combo. They fit very nice and are some of the best shoes (value) that I own. They can walk all day long.

The shoes look really nice and can be worn with anything. The downside is that they are not as comfortable as the typical NB, but I have managed to live with that.

I have been a long term purchaser of NB M996 shoes (a good running shoe as well non-gaudy enough for casual wear), which is the most comfortable shoe from time zero I ever wore. Unfortunately, NB in their questionable wisdom discontinued that model and replaced with some more expensive and less comfortable versions. I have been looking for something to replace my well worn 996s (I still have a couple pairs squirreled away) so I took a chance on the M373. Well it is not quite as comfortable as 996, but felt close enough that I immediately ordered a second pair (the 2nd of 3 pairs of 12 1/2's in stock). I am pleased with Zappos free shipping policy and fast service. Kudos to Zappos. I still have my eye out for 996s!

Reviewer:Anonymous from Santa Cruz, CA
Overall Rating: 
The good: These shoes have a nice classic, simple look to them. They are extremely light, one of the lightest shoes I have ever owned. They seem like they breathe quite well, too. The bad: Virtually no arch support. Pull out the insole and have a look at it yourself. It's super thin and nothing but a bend in it passed for "arch support". The foot bed is also flat so there is certainly no support there. I had a cramp in my arch within 5 minutes of wearing them. I strongly suggest replacing the insole. As mentioned in other reviews, note the bottoms are a bit slick even though the pattern is knobby.

Pretty comfortable, with a nice balance between trendy and traditional. They run a tiny bit big but it hasn\'t been a problem in terms of comfort.

Reviewer:Anonymous from New Orleans, LA
Overall Rating:
I find these shoes slightly more comfortable than the 574's. They fit true-to-size with plenty of room in the toebox. Could be more breathable, probably on account of the suede. I wouldn't necessarily recommend these shoes for jogging/running in, don't seem durable enough or suited to heavy use, I wear them as casual, around town shoes. Overall, I'm very satisfied with these shoes and would purchase them again.

Reviewer:Anonymous from Toledo, OH
Overall Rating:
Shoes look even better in person. Use of diverse materials, smooth leather toe, heel and eyestay, high shine leather logo, mesh/reflective body, really sets this shoe apart. Only owed for a month and have already received numerous complements. Sleek retro styling. Low profile works excellent with jeans. Extremely comfortable and lightweight. Length felt slightly large compared to size 11 in other brands, but quickly cured with the use of an insole. Purchased both the black/yellow and navy/silver. Highly recommend this as a casual, everyday shoe.

Reviewer:Teena G from Shelbyville, KY
Overall Rating:
These shoes are so hip and stylish they make me pale in comparison! I love them. The color of the N and the other suede accents are green and true to the shade shown on my monitor, although for some reason the color is described as "gray". It’s definitely not gray. It’s green. Almost an olive green. And very pretty and a great combo with the brown body of the shoe and the cute pink accents on the heel and on the interior. I adore these shoes. I ordered them on Wednesday night and they arrived on my doorstep the next afternoon. Very fast delivery service, even though I chose the free shipping option. One thing to note about the fit - I wear 7.5 medium width in New Balance and that’s what I ordered these in and they fit perfectly, but they would not fit someone with wide feet. They are snug on my feet. Not in an uncomfortable way, but not as roomy as my other New Balance shoes. Don’t get me wrong – they’re totally comfy. But if you are one of those people who sometimes wears a half size up, definitely go for the larger size. (I wear size 7 in some shoes and size 7.5 in New Balance and a few other shoes.)

These shoes are great. They are comfortable and exactly as I expected. They got here faster than expected too. New Balance shoes tend to run a little bit small, so I ordered a size 8 1/2 when I usually wear a size 8 in all other shoes. They fit perfectly.
