My original size 7 1/2W fit better, but my toes were a little too close to the end so I chose the 8W and placed my orthotic insert inside to fill the sneaker. It fits great and the more I wear it, the better they feel, although I do find the length is a little too long and sometimes my foot scrapes in the front as I walk, but I'm adjusting to it. They are extremely comfortable for someone who has plantar fasciitis. I would highly recommend these for comfort!

Very good shoe for work (food service); truly slip-resistant & a good, comfortable fit. A very solid & functional shoe for the price. Zappos' quality service - as always - just can't be beat.

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 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.

I needed a good walking shoe for my trip to Scotland. This New Balance shoe was great. No break in period was required. I walked for miles in them and continue to do so at my job where I am on my feet all day.

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 bought these shoes for my daughter who is a waitress and is on her feet all day. I ask how her shoes are and she said they are perfect so far. Christmas present so she hasn't worn them much but she is thankful for them. She says no more sore feet and legs.

Need all black sneakers for work and found these. I ordered them and received them in 2 days. Amazing, especially that it was a few days before Christmas that the order was placed. I ordered 2 different pairs of black sneakers at the time and I returned 1. The return was also very easy and it was credited to my account right away. Great place to shop.
Brands I'd also recommend: Nike Air

Just got these today, they feel great. I work long shifts where I have to walk almost the whole time. Bought these to replace a pair I got at Payless...so far they're great. Very comfortable. Good cushioning and arch support. Also good toe room, my old shoes were tight in that area.

I wear size 5 and I have wide feet so I listened to the previous reviewers and bought a 6 wide. They are very comfortable; however, I feel as though I need more arch support since I'm on my feet a lot as a student nurse. I will probably get some gel cushion for these shoes. I got these in white and they look decent with flare scrub pants but with any other pants, I think they can be a little bulky.

This shoe felt comfortable when I put it on, but after walking a short while my knees and back were killing me. I thought they just needed breaking in, but after several attempts at wearing these shoes they were no better. I usually buy Asics, and I will go back to that brand. No more New Balance for me.

I was looking for a shoe that was comfortable in a wide width that I could wear to work. Since I had a recent fall that resulted in a broken ankle and surgery, I was glad this shoe was also anti-skid. I like this shoe even more than I expected and I am considering getting it in white as well.
