I bought these to replace my W992 which were great, but I needed a change. I love the funky colors and they are so comfy and supportive. Now, I never say that, because for years I suffered from flat feet and chronic tendonitis in my arch area. My orthotics fit in them well and the shoe required no breaking in. New Balance rocks for me and these shoes are great. True to size.

Love, love, love this shoe! Looks great - feels like a dream. I walk several miles every day and also workout a couple of times a week and was looking for a shoe to fit all needs - for me, this is it. I am very particular about my feet and shoes since I am very active and also danced (ballet) for 18 years, so I have great respect for feet/knee/hip alignment/support. Comfortable and supportive from the get-go and am a huge fan of NB. This shoe is ultra light, a cross trainer, and needs no break in time. I normally wear a 7, but usually take a 7.5 in NB (and Wilson) so ordered the 7.5 and it fit great. Fantastic colors, too! A lot to be happy about.

The most comfortable trail runners EVER!! My ultimate favorite-- I have two pair, one for trail and one for regular road training. I have problem feet that are going flat and use orthotics. This shoe gives me the support that I need and feels great! They fit true to size and I didn’t even need to break them in! I only wish they were available in different color combinations.

This shoes are so comfortable, not to mention hilariously cute, that I bought a pair for both my daughters and they agree with my assessment. There wasn't even any getting used to period. Instant comfort. Do your feet a favor and buy a pair.

These shoes are great on trails and dirt roads. Not too much cushioning but lots of support. I would not recommend them for any road running as they are too stiff. They are true to size. Minor quibble is the weird lumpy orange shoelaces, but I just replaced them with regular white ones. I also like how lightweight they are.

Love this shoe. I wanted a great workout and walking shoe that wasn't boring and white and ugly. I got the green and orange color and it's so fun and comfortable. So many athletic type shoes are white (or mostly white) and just look horrid on your feet like I'm wearing tissue boxes. The colors blend with any casual wear and don't blend much better than clunky white shoes. I ordered my usual size, 7W and they fit great.

I've just recently returned to running, and I couldn't be happier with this shoe. Really comfortable and a great amount of support. I think I'll buy another pair to have on hand.

Love these shoes. Did a half-marathon in them last weekend and my feet felt great after wards! The lumpy laces are by design, they don't untie ever, which was a huge problem for me with other brands of shoes. These are a great light training or racing shoe-they actually make me feel faster!

I love New Balance shoes for running on trails and pavement. This shoe is slightly wider in the toe box which is great if you are closer to a c than a b. This shoe not only helps with my over pronating feet but it looks pretty, too!

Great lightweight shoe for race walking. Comfortable fit and feel. Get a half size larger than you normally would in New Balance shoes to allow for feet swelling when doing long distance walking/race walking. Not a shoe for standing in place though. New Balance has other shoes for that. Used them in the Cleveland Half Marathon and were comfortable throughout the whole 3 hours!
