This New Balance shoe definitely is not sized like all others have been. I need EE width and this shoe was too narrow in the toe and footbed areas.

Excellent shoe. I received it promptly in one days’ time. The shoe is perfect for my foot, wide toe box, and standard to narrow heel. Lots of room for my toes and does not slip. It’s hard to find shoes for me that combine both features. Also, a plus but not stated in the write up--they are made in USA which I like to buy but find it hard to get the right size.

Awesome shoes, they look even better in person and they feel really good! I don't consider myself a trail runner, but I do like the fit and feel of New Balance running shoes in general. They have a really snug, comfy, springy feel that feels great when you're moving around. These NB shoes are my current favorite so far, the look and feel of these shoes is just awesome. 2 Thumbs way up!

The shoes are what I expected, but the size seems to be a little snug. I think the size will adjust after I wear them. As for Zappos, they are second to none! Great service and quick response! I will definitely order my shoes from them again!

Great looking shoe! Comfortable! I wear a 10.5 wide in Asics, bought a 11 med. in this shoe. The width is fine but am returning them to get an 11.5 med.

I received these very quickly. They look just as awesome in person as they do in the pics. The shoe is very comfortable and I was glad that a 2E wide size was available for a perfect fit. I haven't tried trail running, but I did try a quick sprint and they feel fantastic with excellent foot support and smoothness. Definitely recommended!

I love these shoes! I have a wide foot (4E) and high arches and this shoe fits like a glove. Very light and excellent gripping on the trail. Also love the blue color! Just bought another pair.

This shoe felt smaller and narrower than marked. I need a wide shoe and this toe box is too narrow. Also there's a plastic N that hit right under my arch which was uncomfortable. I didn't keep the shoe.

La-la-love these shoes. And not in a La-la-live-for today way. A La-la-love you The Pixies and David Bryne way. I have worn them running several times and they offer better support than the other New Balances I bought a couple years ago. I also wear them biking, and just strolling around the neighborhood. Good style, and great to get those 5" wide stompers I have feeling good in shoes! Thank you New Balance!

It's hard to find a quad E in walking shoes. I have a very wide foot in the toe area. these shoes could have been a half size larger.

These are so comfy and look great on. I bought two pairs and hope they come out with more colors, like yellow or light blue.

I bought this in black and white. Comfortable, true to size, and cute. I wear 8 N and the heel does not slip. My feet are comfy and happy! Pretty good support too.

8 narrow fit perfectly. No slipping of the heel. Comfortable with or without socks. I think they are comfortable and might get another pair!

I am happy with these shoes; however, I would have preferred to buy Sperry Topsiders. Sperry does not make it in a narrow or slim width unfortunately. I sure wish they did.

So I purchased these shoes because I'm too cheap to buy Sperry's, and overall I am satisfied with them. However, a word to the wise, these sit quite snugly across the top of your feet. Not to the point that they are uncomfortable, but after walking around all day in them, they had rubbed against my feet quiet a bit. I wanted to note this because, as someone with tattoos atop my feet, I am going to need to be careful of when I wear them.

Love these shoes! They are so comfortable. However, they do seem to stretch a little bit, I wish I would have gotten a size smaller. They also get dirty fairly quick. They are way more comfortable than Sperry brand, and cheaper too!

LOVE these shoes. I ordered them in an 8-1/2 but they were tight in the toe area. So I exchanged them for a 9, which I received almost as soon as I hung up the phone! They are really cute and VERY, very comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone. I'm especially pleased that they come in a narrow. My heels are very narrow and I hate it when shoes keep flopping the back. These are PERFECT.
