Trimmer than comparable down sweaters and jackets from Patagonia, Marmot, North Face, etc. Longer in sleeves and hits below the waist. This the cut is different, but exactly what I wanted as a 5'10", 150 lb guy. Very warm, very comfortable, instant favorite.

This coat is a great concept, however I think it was not executed as well as it could have been, or I got a defective one. There was hardly any down in the baffles. The collar was flat with three sections that should have been full of down. I felt the area and it had something in it, but the baffle was far, far from being full. I almost felt like there should be a place to plug it in and pump it up. Cut is very good! At 6'2" and 170 lbs. the large fit well, sleeves down to knuckles with elastic gaiters to keep out the cold, and the torso was down below the waist line. It is sold as a sweater, so it is not intended for outerwear unless it is not too cold. A t-shirt and this coat (sweater) aren't enough for twenty degrees and some wind. If only they had pumped some more down into the baffles...

I ordered these as well as the Asics Gel Kahana (which had a similar color combo, and I also know that NB and Asics consistently fit my high arched/wide feet better than other brands) and found these to be a better fit for my type of foot. Although the Kahana was super cushioned and added a little more height, after having them on in the house I found them to be a bit snug in the toe area. When I put these NB WT610s on, I immediately noticed how much more room the toe box had, yet they aren't as cushiony feeling as the Kahanas. I plan to use these to hike and run in the trails as well as working out in the gym. I've done a lot of research, and glad that I found these great shoes and got the correct size right off the bat. I'm an 8.5 and sometimes wear a 9 for more toe room, but this shoe fits great in my normal size. I do miss all the cushioning of the Asics Kahana, but these work great for me, so far. Great quick shipping and service from Zappos, as usual, too.

These are cute without being too girly. They were comfortable on my first run. I did not get any sores or achy feet. They have the most durable soles. They are much better than any other shoes that I have ever had. They are great outside or on the treadmill. Walking or running, they are worth the money. I will stay with New Balance from now on. They were a little narrower than I expected, but I have wide feet. However, they are still great. I will stick with them. I will just order the next size up in width next time.

Amazingly comfortable. They are slightly longer than my previous New Balance all terrains, but they're pointier so it's a plus because my toes aren't crammed into a point. And, not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but they're cute. D-width fits my hobbit feet perfectly.

New Balance is the only sneaker I wear, I have a wide foot, so it is hard to get a comfortable sneak. These are great. They have nice treads on the bottom for off-roading. And Zappos is awesome as always. :)

Ahhhh, finally a shoe that's wide enough for my weirdo feet! I've had success with New Balance shoes before, but after switching to the wide width in this style, many of the running pains I've experienced have disappeared. My only issue is that I wish these came in more style color options in the additional widths.

I really wanted these to work for me. I ordered two pairs, my normal size and a pair half a size larger. I decided to do that based on reviews that I read. Neither pair fit, they were short, and too pointy! I am having a hard time finding New Balance shoes that fit lately! I have worn only New Balance for decades!

I bought these shoes because I needed an athletic shoe for starting Insanity. I picked these up at the local shoe store - mostly price. Didn't do a lot of research and regretted it. For walking these shoes really are fantastic! But they fell short for the purpose I wanted them for. Keeping the shoes since they're cute and comfortable for daily wear, but will be looking for a cross-training sneaker for my intense workouts.

I needed an outdoor shoe to keep up with the kids. My foot is wide, so I was very pleased that New Balance offered so many options in wide. These are very cute athletic shoes, even in 7.5 W. Unfortunately, they have no support for my high arch. I am sadly going to return them.

I wear a 9.5 wide shoe and am suffering from plantar fasciitis. My podiatrist recommends New Balance sneakers for the stability in the heel area which should help my condition. These sneakers fit great out of the box and has not aggravated my heel condition. I also purchased an orthotic with is working well with the sneaker. Good width, good stability, I do recommend this sneaker.

I love these shoes! I searched & searched & searched for good shoes. I remembered how reputable NB is for their supportive athletic shoes. Our local stores didn't offer many NB selections. Zappos did it again...offered a huge selection! I had to order these shoes twice because it turns out that this style runs an entire size too small. I wear a true 10 and ended up in an 11. Love the free shipping both ways...thanks for being so helpful.
