I had to return them. They were too heavy and too stiff for me.

Very comfortable, plenty of room in the toe box

(What's this?)These shoes is great, but the sizing is inaccurate. I usually wear a 5.5 or 6, but I had to return them for a 6.5.

The leather like tongue is very awkward and uncomfortable.

(What's this?)I read a few positive reviews before my purchase, but I wore them all day for the first time and by the end of the day, the tongue of the shoe which is sewn in place, had an irritating edge that started a blister. The sewing there didn't have a binding on that edge and perhaps was longer than it should be. I am very disappointed in the sneaker, and will write to the company.

These shoes fit well and are supportive. I am enjoying the new color choice

(What's this?)These shoes had no ventilation. They were the hottest shoes I've ever had.

(What's this?)heel pad dug into my achilles. Felt small. Would have to order 1/2 size up if they made them

(What's this?)I love NB … my favorite model has been, of course, discontinued, so I figured I would try this one. Had I tried them on in an actual store, I would have skipped them. Firstly, they’re heavy. For my foot, no arch support (added expense of additional inserts) and they are so stiff it feels like walking on cinder blocks. To others, these may be the Holy Grail you’re looking for. Unfortunately, I have to continue my quest.

I got these because I have plantar fasciitis. They are very comfortable and well cushioned. I ordered size 11 wide even though I usually wear 11 medium because of the reviews I read. They fit well and I can walk again. Very happy!

The Ellipse v1 is true to size, meaning my usual half size up for athletic shoes is perfect. I tried both Wide and X-Wide, since other NB styles are narrower now. The Wide was marginally wide enough, so I stayed with the X-Wide for thicker socks. The cushion in these feels similar to the 1080, very bouncy/springy, but more stable than the 1080.

Love the shoe and style, however, it runs a full size smaller than my normal size. I'm a true size 8 in all athletic sneakers, I ordered an 8.5 and my toes hit right up against the tip of the shoe. No wiggle room! I walk at least 35-40 miles a week, wear lightweight walking socks and my toes felt scrunched just walking around the house.

(What's this?)I bought these for my daughter who teaches school and stands all day. She is a long time NB wearer because she has wide feet. She had always worn a 6.5 W. When she needed a better fit because of getting older/feet wider, she knew she needed the WW, but found them hard to find. So when I saw these I ordered them for her. Both she and I have tried going up a size when we needed something wider and although it sort of worked we did not like the look. She hasn't tried them out at work yet, but was very happy with how they felt and looked.

(What's this?)The shoes are very comfortable and cute. Only downfall was the delayed delivery but has nothing to do with the shoe style.

(What's this?)They felt like they were the correct size but they just didn't feel "right" on my feet. They felt "off balance" with toe to heel, unstable.

(What's this?)Good fit. Difficult to find wide width with style and support, but these are great!

(What's this?)New Balance shoes fit me very well, and I like that Zappos always has a good selection available in my size.

(What's this?)This shoe feels really good. It is bouncy, cushioned and a bit responsive. My issue is the upper. I bought a 4e but the forefoot width was still a medium. The volume of the shoe is bigger and can accommodate high instep but the forefoot was too narrow for a 4e.

(What's this?)Got this in a 4e and it feels very wide and accommodating. The midsole is their fresh foam and it’s got some sink in cushion but not really responsive. Great looking shoe and would recommend for casual wear or short jogs.

(What's this?)Material feels good, flexible but toe box too narrow.

I do not want higher tops.
