The bomb - All the bells and whistles, these shoes are awesome. You want the girls, you got 'em. Buy a lottery ticket the day after they arrive to your door...you will probably win. I wore them to work upon receiving them and had the requisite confidence to ask for a raise...which i was granted.

I only wear New Balance - New Balance are by far the best sneakers for people with wide feet. I wear both a large AND a wide size, so have had trouble finding a comfortable shoe. New Balance is the only brand I wear now because the fit and comfort as well as wide size range are superior. These shoes were no exception. I needed a comfortable wide shoe for post-foot surgery, and these shoes did not disappoint. I will continue to wear only New Balance.

VERY NICE! Love these Shoes. NO ONE HAS THESE - I love these shoes. There is a sheen look to the green when it is placed in the sun. I had to go up in width size because it was narrow at the toes.

Best running shoes I've ever had - I have worn many different runnung shoes in my day, but for me these fit like a glove. They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. The only problem is that I wear them so much I'm going to wear them out.

Great shoe, great service - Got my first pair and was very stoked. The back stitching started to unravel, so I called to return for a new pair with no problem. They shipped out within 2 days and price matched too. Zappos is my first choice for buying shoes.

NB trail shoe - The shoe fits true to size with roomy space for toe. Not as cushioned as the NB 806t and the lugged sole is not as prominent. Overall a good choice.

Awesome! The best running/hiking/walking shoes I ever owned. Not only is it very comfortable, I got lots of compliments for the look. And Zappos is also awesome; got my shoe on the 2nd day, can't beat that!

PERFECT FIT AND SPEEDY AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE - New Balance has lived up to their reputation. Light, perfect fit, and good looks. Zappos service has been outstanding and very customer friendly. I have spread the news here with my co-workers in the military to go visit your website and order. I am pretty sure they would not regret the service you will provide them. Thanks so much for your quick service and very friendly attitude.

Them M 780 is just what I needed! I am the master of ceremonies for a three-day festival in my hometown and will be on my feet the entire weekend. The kicker is this, I needed the shoe to have green as one of the colors to coincide with the festival's colors. Perfect! The shoe provides great support, is very comfortable and was very reasonably priced!

I bought this shoe for my son, he normally buys New Balance and finds them good looking and very comfortable. This shoe has very poor support, poor cushion, and is uncomfortable for standing, walking etc. The picture doesn't really show what it looks like, and the style was disappointing too. I'd give it a poor rating at best.

These shoes are great for the type of running I do, combination trail, turf, and road. I love NB due to the extra width availability in their models. I docked these shoes one star in the comfort category due to the lack of extra cushioning, but then they wouldn't be so light.

As usual it is hard to find a true wide width athletic shoe. New Balance used to provide some but instead the EEEE feel like the EE used to. This shoe was ok for width but wider would be better.

What a great shoe! When I first purchased this shoe, I was doubtfull. But since wearing the shoes, they are wonderfull. I just got back from vacation in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, and I walked everywhere. They were so comfortable, even when climbing the Tetons. I would suggest these shoes to anyone who is planning on doing a lot of walking, hiking, or just for show!

Best bang for the buck - I run trails in the northeast with mud,streams, rocks and with the tread on the 780's--I'm not doing any slipping. Also the mesh allows my feet to breath and dry out during the run. I have a pair of 905's too, but right now I am nursing a real good stinger on my right arch from a rock I landed on with the 905's. Wouldn't have happened with these. The white looks like your wearing spatts. I like these so much I am buying my second pair that I will need by next year. I have been to a dozen sites until I found my size here. They felt narrow at first, but after a few miles and mud they stretched right out. I usually take a 2E but I go with the D.905's are good for dry trails with little or no rocks.

Good Service - Nice shoes. The price was higher @ Zappos than elsewhere but many more sizes were available. Comfortable and good-looking shoes that are comfortable. For those with high arches their may not be enough arch support. I just purchased these shoes and I have a high arch which is not supported by this shoe. This may change for the better, however, once the shoes have broken in. Zappos service was excellent. I ordered these shoes on a Monday night @ 9:30 pm and recieved them Wednesday @ 1:00 pm and I live in a rural town in Idaho where shipping is usually slow. These are good shoes and Zappos is a great place to buy them.

Great running shoe - The green color doesn't go with any of my workout clothes, but who cares. The shoes feel great to run in and that's what counts. I recommend buying them a half size larger, cause mine are snug.

The Hess Express - This shoe is the best out there. This is the second time buying them. After first buying them in the summer. I bought them again today. My friends think they are awesome. Because of the colors they are called "The Hess Express". Overall amazing comfort and the look is great.
