I love my New Balance Sneakers. They are like walking on air. I have a wide foot, and the wide toe box of this sneaker is unmatched. I have been a Nike customer all my life. Not anymore. New Balance is my new sneaker company. I can't rave enough.

These New Balance shoes were for my wife. She loves them. They were precisely what she needed. Size was correct as stated and exactly as expected. I recently purchased 2 pairs of Asics Kaypro 15 and have been using them for a few weeks now. Great shoes! I would highly recommend them for runners on the heavy side.

I love these shoes. I wear my custom orthotics in them and my feet never hurt. Shoes fit great. I\'m a nurse so I\'m on my feet for long hours all week. This is the second pair I\'ve bought of the same pair! Thanks Zappos!

Good looks and comfort, too! We bought this shoe for our dad who is 92 years old. He says they are comfortable and easy to put on even with his arthritis. They look good enough to use as dress shoes as well as every day shoes.

A wonderful lightweight and good looking shoe - I bought these shoes for my father who can no longer tie his own shoes. I was really just aiming for convenience with the velcro closure but found that the shoe was also a light as a feather with a very up-to-date styling. My dad just kept thanking me and saying how wonderful the shoes felt. Thanks to Zappos for carrying this model of Hush Puppies shoes. They were worth every penny. Also your shipping during the holiday rush was absolutely exceptional. I had the shoes in two days. I am totally impressed!

Impressive - My husband is limited in being able to bend down to tie shoes and these have been a true godsend to him. He is also very particular in how his shoes look and these shoes are just great looking and easy to get on.

handsome and comfortable - This shoe is just right...it looks and feels good on the foot..it seems to be engineered for the big man with big feet because it supports the foot well...the only thing that would make it absolutely perfect is having half sizes available beyond 13. Thank you Hushpuppies.
