Fantastic! This new design is great. 8 mm offset feels nimble yet cushioned enough to enjoy the run. I was moving so easily I couldn't believe it. The fit seemed too roomy at first but I was able to tighten for my low volume foot. Thank you Zappos for sending yet another one to try...love it!

Nice look but as usual, NB shoes are made in China and are never sized as stated-always smaller.

These shoes fit like a glove. They are so comfortable! I like them so much I got a second pair to put on the shelf.

This shoe must have been a little larger than the others I have ordered in this size. After my walk I had a horrible blister from the heel sliding up and down. I wear a band-aid now when I wear them.

Loved this shoe. The first time I put it on I went out and walked 4 miles and it felt great. Very true to size.

1st I'm glad I didn't listen to the one Review that the shoe runs small. This sneaker is true to size. I wear 7 1/2 in Nike and bought the 7/12 in NB and they fit like a glove and I have wiggle room. The Yellow is more like a Neon Yellow which is perfect. I am totally happy.

Excellent for the neutral, high arch runner. Ridiculously comfortable straight out of the box. I've been wearing the adidas supernova cushion or glide for years, but this shoe has converted me to NB. It has a similar fit, but feels even lighter.

Way too narrow and small, I normally wear 6.5 regular, I purchased a 6.5 wide. I have to return them because my right foot kept falling asleep!

Great fit, good looking shoe, and true to size. No blisters or discomfort from the time I opened the box to now (6 weeks later). My favorite thing about these running shoes are that they are well cushioned but don't weigh down my feet. Highly recommend!

This is the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. I'm flat-footed and any day filled with lots of walking would always leave me limping by the end. I had just accepted this as a way of life, because it's been like that as far back as I can remember. However, I've been wearing this pair of New Balance shoes for almost two full months, and they have literally changed my life. I haven't limped or had sore feet once since purchasing these shoes. Even with the expense, I intended to buy another pair or two for back-ups in case they discontinue or change this shoe.
