The New Balance Classic's U420 is a great sneaker. They are affordable, comfortable, and stylish. As always, Zappos customer service was exceptional. Thanks!

Great shoe for a great price - When I purchased this shoe, I heard they ran small, so I bought a size 10 when I usually wear a size 11. At first they were quite tight and I was worried I'd have to send them back. Luckily, they broke in perfectly, and now fit exactly how I wanted them to.

Comfy and Light - I ordered these for my boyfriend who says that these sneakers are one of the lightest and most comfortable he's ever owned.

Fast and Friendly Service - This was my first purchase with Zappos.com and I am completely satisfied with not only this shoe, but the quick and friendly service I received. I will never need to shop anywhere else for classic sneaks. Thanks Zappos.com! =o)

I was loving these boots, warm, waterproof, comfortable. Unfortunately after less than two months of daily wear in a snowy Chicago winter the rubber uppers developed, cracked and split (right across the top where the toes flex when walking). So, no longer waterproof, which was a main selling point for me, and not as warm. I am extremely disappointed that they failed so quickly and do not recommend buying these at any price.

Comfortable and Stylish - This shoe is everything I had hoped for. I saw a few posts about the sizing being off so I ordered a half size down (size 11) and it fits just fine. I definitely couldn't have gone 1 full size.

I love classic NewBs, especially ones with gray. I bought these because I wanted a reliable shoe that go with every outfit. Right out of the box, they're a little dorky, but that's what I like. I will wear them into the ground.

These are awesome shoes. The colors are great and the profile is much lower and less bulky than other New Balance sneakers. There is no to little arch support, but other than that they are very comfortable.

These are good flat shoes if that is what you like. They are great for light walking or working out at the gym. They are good for doing squats because they are very flat. They are not so good for outdoor running. I do not think there is enough ankle support for that kind of hard surface. They are made from good quality material, I love the stlye and feather-weight. This is a very flexible pair of shoes.

I have had no complaints about this shoe since I bought it in December of 2008. However, just last month, a crack/gash has opened up laterally on the bottom of the sole. I think it must be from just very thin rubber on the sole. The other side is fine, so I am not sure what the problem is.

True to size, maybe a bit long, but mostly just narrow. Not a ton of support but lots of compliments to make up for it. Very cool shoe.

Good shoe for the price. I like these shoes, but the insoles were not that great. I had to put new ones in and now they are super comfy. They look good and seem to be holding up.

Multiversals review - These shoes run a size bigger than normal and will break in nicely. I wear a 14 but the 13 fit perfect after they were broken in. they are extremely light weight and comfortable. I have a high arch and the center support is just not there. Nothing that an insole couldn't cure.

Shoes ordered down and half size. Comfortable but no support at all so added an insole and now they are great.

Owned an older colorway, just like the navy currently for sale, but without the lighter blue at the collar, which looked much better. They're comfortable and have a classic look, but the soles wear too easily and unevenly.

Absolutely loved these shoes from the second I got them. I've had them for about 10 months now, and wear them regularly for walking, shopping, or just cruising. They're cute, and stylish enough to wear with jeans and a top, but casual enough to wear with workout pants and a sweatshirt to the grocery store or something. All of this ended today when I went to go put them on and notice they RIPPED! The suede between two of the lace holes has ripped to make one giant hole. I can still wear them, but it makes me sad that they are less than a year old, and already wearing down. Cute, but not sure they're worth the price.

These shoes are OK, but not really that great of arch support though. They are true to size and comfortable enough.

I really loved the way the shoe looked, and although my feet are wide, the B width was fine. However, I thought the arch support was lacking (arches are mild to moderately collapsed). I could tell by just taking a few steps that I needed more support. I felt the inside with my hand and there is really no arch support-- It's flat in there. The shoes were extremely light, and that actually made me feel that the shoes were not made out of good material... Kind of a thick rubbery foam sole with a more durable tread attached. I returned these shoes.

Satisfactory - More nylon than the photo depicts. Design doesn't scale too well to the larger sizes, which is a common problem with shoes. Somewhat flimsy sides, but the sole is firm and supportive. More canvas would be nice for the price.

They are beautiful looking but not comfortable at all. I call these the "fake sneakers." They are somewhat narrow at the widest part of the foot, in the front and after walking for an hour, it felt like I was wearing uncomfortable flats.
