I was so excited to get this pair, but when they arrived today, I was a little disappointed. It was not because of the quality, but I had to return it and order a half size smaller. Most of my athletic shoes are from New Balance and I've always worn a 7 1/2B. I was really surprised that these were a little too big for me. Otherwise, wearing them felt great. Comfortable room in the toe box. It didn't feel that it was too tight. I like that they are low to the ground with the pivot point. The extra lip on the side gave them some stability. Can't wait to wear it to my Zumba classes and other cross-training activities, but I guess now, I just have to wait for the right size to come in.

After being disappointed on the size problem yesterday, I immediately returned the product and placed another for the correct size (7B), and in return you made it up by expediting my order to a next day delivery!!! Got these awesome sneakers today and I just couldn't be happier. They fit like a glove. I noticed that there's also a good support on these shoes. Nicely done, New Balance. And Zappos you are just amazing! Excellent all the way around! Thank you so much!!! Now, I can't wait to wear these awesome shoes! Go Zumba!!!

Excellent shoe! I had foot surgery a few weeks ago and I need a sneaker with a wide toe box so my toes would have plenty of room. This sneaker is perfect. I ordered my regular size in a wide (D) and It doesn't squish my foot at all, also the arch is perfect. This sneaker is pretty and very comfortable and I've found it easy to walk again. If you are looking for a wide, roomy sneaker, this is a great choice. Also, Zappos has the fastest shipping out of any website I've ever shopped. I did not order express shipping but I literally received these in less than 24 hours after placing my order! I love Zappos!

Very comfortable fit, however, the sole seems very thin. It you were to wear these while doing an exercise that involved jumping there doesn't seem to be much padding. Probably OK for low impact or strictly weight training. Super cute! Just wish they felt more padded under the foot.

Best zumba shoes ever! I have been wearing these shoes for a little over a week now. I used them exclusively at home for the first week to do insanity, strength training and practice zumba choreo. Last night I had a chance to wear them to zumba class. They performed beautifully. I had been wearing the New Balance 840 trainers prior to these and they now seem stiff and inflexible. there are many things I love about these sneaks. The shoes are fabric so they are comfortable right out of the box, the toe box is nice and roomy, the soles are extremely flexible and give me just the right amount of traction not only on a wood floor but on carpet as well (they don't drag on the carpet). The arch support is adequate. I wear arch supports in all of my cross-trainers though. I am very pleased with these shoes. I may have to buy another pair to trade out when these get worn. Once again Zappos has the best customer service in all the land! Ordered these very late on a Thursday night and had them by 9 a.m. on a Monday.

These shoes are great! I am using them for Insanity workouts which have a lot of jumping and quick movements. My feet were hurting in my old shoes after a week of Insanity workouts. I've noticed a big difference since switching to these shoes and now I just have sore legs and arms not sore feet. They fit perfectly both in length and width. They feel snug but not too tight. As always, Zappos has the quickest shipping!

I bought a wide width, but the toe box itself is not all that wide, so my little toes were squished. Returning them.

I've worn quite a few NB shoes in the past and they all fit fine. When I am replacing my current pair whose treads are gone, I tried 4 other pairs of NB. The "last" (i.e. the mold/shape) of this shoe, according to the New Balance website, is stated to be wider in the front, and narrower in the heel, just how I like it. It is indeed wider in the front with more toe room, which I like. (I have a regular B width foot.) It is possible that for some people, they may find that extra space to be too much. If you like the front rather snug, then the regular "lasts" may suit your liking more. It feels a little less padded in the front on the insole tho. It's very lightweight compared to the other NB that I tried. I like that aspect very much. The laces are scalloped shape and seem to stay in place better than the regular laces.

I recently purchased these from Zappos and had to return them twice, but neither of the times was Zappos fault. When I chatted with customer service they were extremely courteous and shipped out replacements right away. The shoes themselves are very comfortable. I like the extra lip on the side for support. I do Turbo Fire so I need shoes that can support my feet through all the jumping! Overall pleased with them.

I have another pair of NB shoes a 7.5 D. They fit fine. These were way too long. I think if I could get the right size they would be very comfy. I will be interested to see if they work well for Zumba. It is really hard to find a wide shoe for Zumba.

I wanted a true training shoe for my gym classes (kickboxing). This shoe has excellent lateral support and stability. However, I have very flat, narrow feet and this shoe was very uncomfortable. It practically forced an arch on me, which was painful. For someone with an arch, however, this shoe may be perfect!

Great Zumba shoe! I take a 7W and this was hard to find, but Zappos finally got this shoe back in. Great stability and nice pivoting action. This shoe is perfect for your boot camp or Zumba. Also fits my custom orthotics. I have custom orthotics due to past plantar fasciitis.

I love these shoes! They are such comfortable cross trainers and worth every penny! The only negative is the pink siding on the base of the shoe makes it seem really bulky. The shoes do feel a little roomier than normal shoes, also.

I really like these sneakers. I really appreciate the roominess in the toe area. When purchasing shoes I keep my doctor's advice in mind that your shoes should match the form of your feet as much as possible and these do just that! Great support and yet you feel barefoot.
