    My first pair of New Balance 525s came apart at the seams (where the mesh meets the suede) in three locations after 5 weeks of casual wear. My second pair, which I haven\'t even worn yet, has flawed stitching that causes a fold in the suede where it should lay flat. Buyer beware.

    DO NOT BUY! I bought these shoes for my husband and he wore them for about 2-3 weeks and all of the seams have now started to come apart! We had to throw these shoes in the trash! BEWARE!

    These shoes are great! Can go with any outfit. I would, however, say that these are more for style than athletic wear. I don’t wear these to the gym, there is not enough support.

    These shoes look alright and go well with jeans or shorts. If you\'re planning on walking a fair amount during your day or going for a run or something then I wouldn\'t recommend them. They have no arch support. This lack of arch may not be noticeable at first but will eventually wear you down.

    Bought these to take the place of my old 595\'s which I reluctantly had to finally throw away. These 525\'s were comfortable as soon as I put them on.

    I've ordered twice from zappos.com. I have been very impressed at how they have upgraded my shipping to overnight now twice! I love this site and I love these shoes and wear them till I go back to Zappos for more. The shoes here really help me because they carry larger sizes that are hard to find in other stores.

    Good looking, straight-forward shoe. I wear them for everyday wear, not running. They can get dirty pretty easy, so I've sprayed a protectent on them, which seems to help.

    At first, I didn't like that these shoes pulled my socks down (even though my socks were also New Balance). Come to find out, those socks were a little too low and loose, but when I tried more fitted socks that were just a bit taller, these shoes fit perfectly! Now, I wear them all the time; they're really comfortable, whether I'm sitting down for an hour, or walking 2 miles. Highly recommended (just don't wear really low socks with them).

    Super comfortable! I'm sold on New Balance sneakers after ordering this pair. Light and comfy, adequate support, and they look awesome. My only complaint is the gray has already gotten dingy, but that's to be expected with any light-colored shoe.

    Exactly what I was looking for. Inner lining is soft felt type substance, making it easy to slip the shoes off without untying. (I previously had some NB 574's where this was not the case.) Good fit for my wide feet. The outside looks nice, and is made of a good water-resistant material, making these some very good year-round shoes.

    These shoes are very stylish and perfect for casual wear. They are not for running. My only complaint is that they are somewhat narrow in the toe box but wide in the heel. The quality is decent. You get what you pay for.

    Just ordered my third pair in the past two years. Great shoe at a great price. Yes, I have gone through each of my previous posts in about a year, but that was with daily wear. I am a college student so I do a lot of walking and find these comfortable for long walks. I'll wear these with jeans or khakis and they look great. I keep mine tied and just slip them on and off

    Really a sneaker for show, rather than performance. And since the style options for my foot width (2E) are really limited, I try to make do with a standard width shoe like this that's a half size bigger. It works for the most part. The uppers look great and appear sturdy. I recommend replacing the native insole with a better one for more arch and heel support. If I get a year out of them, I'll be happy, given the price.

    I was very pleased with this purchase. It's true to size - it's a very light weight shoe; feels like your walking on air. Great for walking long distances and all-day comfort wear. I highly recommend them; I wish there were more colors.
