    Good general-purpose sneaker. Relatively light, suitable for light-running and just about any type of cross-training.

    Zappos always has styles that are hard to find elsewhere and the service is unbeatable! I won't go anywhere else. These shoes rock, too. Super comfortable, super-cool, great for chillin', running, biking, whatever. Very light and still comfortable.

    They've been great so far, which has been a month or two now. Only slight issue is that the back part of the shoe bends in when you put the on, and is reluctant to bend back out, so you have to remember that - but that's exceptionally pedantic.

    These are not the cutest shoes in the world. They are, however, extremely comfortable. If you need a good "utility shoe" for work or walking, this is it.

    These shoes are great for walking, but if you wear them very long I found they don't let your feet breathe. My socks feel clammy after I take the shoes off. Other than that they look streamlined and not clunky. Great to wear with jeans.

    Great shoe to own. You get the comfort and support that you want, without having to give up style. I have Asics, Nikes, Adidas and Converse but these New Balance are my favorites.

    The shoes are not quite as supportive as I had hoped. However, they are light weight and holding up very nicely. New Balance shoes tend to last longer for me than others. Will buy again.

    I already owned a pair of these when I ordered a second. I love this shoe. It is an extremely comfortable everyday walking shoe, and it looks great with everything from skinny jeans to skirts. They run a bit large in size...I usually am a size 7, but I wear a 6.5 in this shoe.

    These are cheaply made! They are imported and low quality. I have worn New Balance in the past and enjoyed them. I bought these for everyday wear in October and less than three months later the side material was tearing away.

    I loved the fit and style of this shoe (the original gray color, without the neon highlighting that it seems to have been replaced with). But literally the first time I wore the shoe it developed a large tear in the front fabric. This was not from any unusual distress while wearing them -- it was simply poor construction. Beware!

    Favorite retro style with awesome bright color. Great for casual wear. Have to wear socks that come a little bit above the Achilles due to rubbing by the leather heel of the shoe.

    I love these hipster New Balance. I have the U455 as well and these U420s are a tad more slender on the foot and feel a bit thinner overall. I always wear gel insoles with shoes like these, so the lack of really good cushioning and arch support one might expect of running shoes doesn't bother me. After all, they are street shoes.
