Part of producing New Balance shoes and athletic clothing is manufacturing it to fit all widths and sizes, because a better fit produces better performance.
To ensure the best fitting, best performing shoes and clothes, New Balance focuses on improving their technology and production methods. A big part of that is maintaining five manufacturing facilities here in the United States where they continue to produce New Balance shoes and apparel that meet the standards they've employed for 100 years.

Perfect for my nursing school clinicals. Comfortable, a little lighter weight than I like, no blisters, no break-in needed. If you have high arches you may need an insert or another shoe. These shoes are utilitarian, comfortable, not cute, and a great deal.

These shoes felt about half a size too small and fairly narrow. They are also more food service shoes than athletic shoes.

Through reading other peoples reviews, I found that if you want this shoe - you should most definitely buy it a size larger than what you normally wear. It's great to use in the service industry since I'm on my feet between 7-12 hours a day. I couldn't tell you much about the arch support because I use an insert to help with preexisting knee pain. Overall, I say if you are required to get a non-slip shoe for work, forget shoes for crews and buy these New Balance because you get what you pay for.

I love these shoes! I'm taking classes in healthcare that require all-white, all-leather shoes. There are no perforations on top like some sneakers. It also has a skid-resistant sole. As far as fit, I have narrow ankles & slightly wider front. Most of the time, I wear medium-width shoes. But since I'll wear these every day, I ordered the wide width, which was perfect. I can tighten the laces around my narrow ankles. Arch support is moderate, which works well for me, too, since my arches are low-moderate. Great shoes! I may order another pair.

I recently ordered these sneakers for work. I am a bartender/server and work around 60 hours a week. I must say they are very comfortable and it didn't even take a few days to break them in like most sneakers I have purchased. They did run a half a size smaller so I definitely would say to order up. I am very happy with my purchase and would order these again.

Bought the New Balance 512 for work shoes. Slip resistant and comfortable all day. I did have to go to a size 9 wide instead of my normal size 8 1/2 wide. Great shoes and look good.
I'd also recommend: I'm a New Balance fan.
