I know that these are supposed to be running shoes but I purchased them for my everyday shoes...these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! Awesome arch support and it's as if I'm walking on air.

I bought these shoes online on 10/4 and received it on 10/6. Zappos' customer service is wonderful and should be considered as today's internet business standard. I'm a beginner runner who runs about 10 to 15 miles a week. I decided to buy these shoes because of the extra arch support. When I received the shoes yesterday I immediately tried it on and I knew right away that this was the one for me. It was very comfortable and the shoe felt like it melted on my feet because as soon as I put them on I immediately felt the shoe “hug” my feet. Excellent support and cushioning. I felt like I was running on clouds because it was so soft. I will definitely buy my shoes from Zappos.

I purchased these shoes for New York City walking, at the recommendation of a well known acupuncturist for my lower back pain issue. They are super! They absorb the sometimes rough impact of walking and running around New York City, which has helped with my back issue enormously. Initially I was concerned that they may appear chunky, but in fact, once on, they have a sleek and stylish look.

Great shoe, great price. I have always been an Air Max guy and I love the Air Max + 2012 but the price is a tad high to own more than one pair. I was looking for a black/red pair and when I saw them in person and tried them on I was very pleased to say the least. They look great, have great cushioning when I run, and I even workout in them as they are very stable as well. I will be buying mor of these as new colors come out. I highly recommend this shoe.

I love this Nike air max I have five pairs and I would not change anything. I use them for work because I am on my feet all day. They feel very snug an comfortable.

Over the years, I've given up finding racing flats (or a close equivalent) for my super wide feet...until now! I've tried many brands, including Asics, Saucony, Brooks, etc., even NB's own models, such as the Minimus Road and 1190, but none are as good as the 730. I just finished a full marathon in them and looking forward to doing more road races and triathlons with my current pair. I hope New Balance does not discontinue this line, since they have a hidden gem in the 730.

Enjoyed Vibram Five Fingers but wasn't comfortable running long distances in them. The NB M730v1 is much better for road runs on my feet while still experiencing minimalist stride and technique. Construction is excellent and show no signs of wear after 10-15 miles per week for the last 4 weeks. Will purchase another pair when (if) I finally succeed in trashing these. Definitely worth the money.

My feet are right on the borderline between normal and wide (not a guess, via measurement), these shoes work fine for my general foot width. The tongue of the shoe wanders around to the side; I looked for the little sleeves the laces generally go through in the tongue to prevent this but didn't find any. So the tongue winds up on the side of my foot. I don't why, but this kind of bugs me even though it doesn't alter the shoes comfort at all (I've tried to think of it as a "feature" of the shoe dynamically adjusting to my foot). I had surgery on my Big Toe, afterward it angles toward the midline by about a 1/4 inch. Shoes, like the Merrell Trail Glove, that aggressively go after building a shoe with a natural foot shape suit my feet best. These New Balance are not as nicely shaped as the Merrells but are not as hideous as the Nike Free TR2 (which are shaped like a frigg'n torpedo and nothing at all like a natural foot - that is, not either of my feet, the natural one or the butcher, chop shop (surgeon approved) one). Why buy these at all instead of another pair of Merrells? I want a shoe to play tennis in. I played a couple dozen times last summer in the Merrells and here's what I need: a pair of Merrells that has more cushioning. I just lost half of the minimalist readers with that sentence, but charging the net was too difficult in the Merrells; I learned early on stopping quickly using heel power gave one bruised heels (freak'n ouch, man), so I found another way to stop, with forefoot strikes...but the stress on my knees and forefoot is undesirable and I just can't stop quick enough after a full sprint to the net. So this year I'm looking to balance the load between heel and knees. That's why I chose these shoes. On that: I'm not a big lateral-sliding player so I don't expect these shoes to be terrible for me but they don't look (or feel) like they would stand up to lateral forces very well over a period of time. So there you have it, my peculiar review.

I have 2 other pairs of New Balance running shoes which are size 9. I had to return these for a size 8, which fits perfectly with room to breath. These run large.

Very light weighted, the way it is supposed to. The shoe lacers might be a bit easier to get loose though.
