Great Sneakers! I love these sneakers! They are very comfortable, both for running and casual wear. Also, they have a great classic look!

My third pair of 801's - Best all around walking, hiking, running shoe I've found. I just ordered my third pair.

Comfy - Nice fitting--a little rubbing around the tongue and heel keep it from being a 5 star; also, a little slippery on wet terrain, but overall I am pleased!

New Balance W 801 - This is the third time I've purchased this model shoe. A bit heavy for long distance runs, but made to last and extrememly comfortable! A great running shoe for spring, fall and winter here on the east coast.

Brands I'd also recommend: stay with New Balance!

I've looked for this shoe forever--it is the one that made New Balance my only athletic shoe brand when it was first made available for purchase. It fits just as all other New Balance shoes seem to fit me--it seems to feel one half size smaller than my other shoes. I appreciate that New Balance offers narrow shoes in so many styles.

Offers the Protection I needed for Walking on Hard Floor - These shoes saved me from daily foot pain when my workplace moved to a new location with more walking and very hard floors. I had walking shoes, but these are much more cushiony on the tile. The sole is firm and I can't feel the floor through it. The color and style look crisp and neat as I some times have to wear them with business clothes. The black at the toe makes my large size look a bit smaller. I have very flat "problem feet." As my feet have gotten flatter, they have gotten wider, so I always look to New Balance for good fit. I have worn prescription foot orthotics for years, the wide width helps to accomodate them and New Balance insoles lift out to make room for my orthotics.

These remain my favorite work out shoes - This is my third pair of New Balance trail runners and I love them. Very comfortable. No need for break-in really. Even though it's always recommended to go up a half size, I wear a 7M and ordered that size and they fit perfectly. Highly recommend :-)

New Balance 801- extremely cushioned and comfortable - These sneakers are literally the most comfortable ones I have ever owned.I am a big fan of New Balance for running and cross- training and usually purchase even more expensive styles, so was hesitant to try these. However, they fit well and have great " bounce". I think they are cute too, and have already received many compliments. I would like to add that Zappos.com is very professional and user- friendly as well- this is the first time I have ever used the site, came upon it by accident really- and I am extremely pleased and will be sure to recommend.

Great shoe at risk of discontinuation - This has been a great shoe, indoors and out. It provides excellent support and stability. The wider toebox is perfect for the shape of my foot. I can only hope NewBalance does not discontinue it, a fear I have since my retail store did not find it in their catalogue for spring.

gotta love this shoe - I've now owned this model 3x and worn them out each time. It is fabulous and always a good fit!! New Balance is such a great company...yield to the warnings and order 1/2 a sz up...I don't know why, but it works w/this shoe

New Balance w 801 - I really like these sneakers, they are comfortable, and they seem like they will hold up for a while, unlike many other shoes I have purchased in the past.

Great look, but somewhat uncomfortable - I've always loved New Balance even though they run a little wide. The shoe looks great, but I just couldn't seem to find the right size. One size was a little too big and the other was too small. I finally settled with the slightly larger size and even then the stiching by my toes hurts if I don't have a thick enough sock on. Overall, I like the shoe but I don't think that I would buy another pair. I think I'll stick to the NB Classic style.

Most comfortable New Balance I've had! I wanted to replace an old pair of NB 801's but could not find them in any store in my city. I found them on Zappos and got them in 2 days. I wear my new pair for work where I stand up all day and I wear my old pair for golf! Perfect!

Good trail shoe - I like the fit of this shoe (I order 1 size bigger than I order Reeboks) and its stability on rocky terrain. It's definitely good for the under-pronater. I wish it had more cushioning, and I supplement it with a sports insert.

Brands I'd also recommend: for more cushioning, try Reebok DMX models

NB W801 - New Balance consistently makes great running shoes. The only reason I gave it 4 stars for comfort instead of 5 is that is lacks the arch support that I need.

Great! Speedy delivery, great shoes! I love the 800 series...I had the 801's in HS but they were stolen from my gym locker. True to size, unfortunately my one foot is 1/2 size smaller than the other...but they are great shoes.
