I searched for these shoes on Zappos for quite sometime and couldn't find them so I ended up purchasing them at famous footwear for much cheaper, I'll point out. I do like them. They are very lightweight and comfortable, but I think I have had them for about 3 months now and they're falling apart already. I have only used them as casual shoes for normal walking around and the thread on the side seam have come out and now there's a little hole there but it can be fixed easily. My only suggestion to make is, if you will be using these for daily exercise purposes, you may want to invest in a more durable shoe because they probably won't last very long at all.

I love these shoes. I walk about two miles a day and have always had problems with shoes rubbing my ankle bones. These are low cut on the sides, light weight and come in half sizes. Perfect for me.

I love these shoes. They were delivered the day after I placed my order and the box was so light, I was sure they had forgot to add the shoes. The most comfortable, lightweight shoes I've ever owned. Thank you Zappos! Always a pleasure doing business with.

I love these shoes. I can feel the cushion as I walk on them. I especially love the multi-colored shoelaces and pink "N", a delight for someone who loves pink. The shoe was true to my normal size. I normally wear a wide and ordered a wide in this, too. It does seem to look a little narrower than my other New Balance shoes. However, it feels fine on my feet and maybe not as bulky as my other shoe. It makes my feet look smaller, since the bulk is not there. The only issue I have is that my shoelaces keep coming undone. That can easily be fixed by double tying them or replacing the strings with a more traditional lace. The texture of these doesn't seem to be the same as a traditional lace; it seems a little more waxy.

Brands I'd also recommend: I think New Balance is the best brand on the market.

I love the thin soles and overall comfort. They\'re lightweight and the fit is perfect. My Zumba class is way easier without chunky soled shoes! Great service from Zappos, as usual!

Very comfortable. Lightweight feel, will keep feet and legs from tiring out.

I love these shoes! They give my feet pretty good support without being "clunky." Sometimes athletic/walking shoes make me feel as though my feet are "clod-hoppered." These are just right! Thank you!

I really wanted to love this shoe. It's really a cute shoe on your feet, but it doesn't have the arch support that I need. I feel that the support that it gives me hits my arches in a bad spot and my feet start to hurt after wearing all day. But it might just be my crazy high-arched feet!

My teen daughter loves them for their look. I insist she put inserts in for arch support (she has flat feet). They are cute and light for casual wear.

I just received the New Balance Classics in Black and in Light Grey late this afternoon. I am an 8 1/2 wide (and I do mean wide - I have a bunion-looking structure to both feet). My first impression, other than that the shipping box was extremely light for two pairs of shoes, was "There is no way these shoes are going to fit my big feet!" I immediately thought it was a mistake to have ordered online. I took the shoes out and removed the shipping stuffing and proceeded to untighten the laces a bit. I was shocked. They fit perfectly! I love both pairs! They are cute, too! The color shown online is correct and the best part is, they don't make my feet look big! Nobody will ever look at my shoes because my feet look big in them. Instead, they will admire them because they are cute! I got them for work and I am on my feet 50% of the work day. I am sure they will be great. I do believe they are not meant to do daily walking exercise, but I'm sure they will be excellent for everyday wear. They are thinner in the soles and will be best for indoor wear, I believe, not wearing outside to walk/hike in. I am very pleased with them. I am 49 and I have feet that swell and I have arthritis in the tops of my feet and ankles. I had been on my feet all day long today attending a function in which I was walking continuously or standing. I tried these shoes on after today, so my feet were definitely at their largest. I suggest these for anyone afraid to order online and frustrated with never finding wide shoes. I hope they fit you! I got lucky and am very pleased!

These light weight little shoes fit so well, and are remarkably comfortable. I volunteer at the hospital, so running around is a necessity. I feel good, well supported and happy all during my shift!

Just received these in black. PERFECT! I wear orthotics and shopping for shoes that fit comfortably and aren't clunky has been a challenge. Finally, I can be "cute" again. I just ordered another pair in light grey because the dark grey was sold out in my size.

Very light on your feet. Cute but wide is still too narrow. Will be returning them.

I love these shoes, they are slightly different from the classic NB sneaker, but still true to the style. I really cute and comfortable!

These sneakers are great! Because of major surgery on my foot, I have to wear a sneaker that accommodates the swelling that I have. These fit the bill and are cute looking also. I get lots of compliments too. I put black laces in the sneaker to make them look a bit more seasonable. They have enough support also.

These are pretty cute, but just didn\'t cut it for me. They are a nice narrow look, but the right shoe rubbed on my heel. Left shoe was fine, so I returned them.
