For my wide feet I found these shoes to tight. I sent them back.

They're good, but they run small, about a half size. They feel short and narrow – and I have narrow feet to begin with.

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)
I've had to return shoes for sizing all summer-usually wear US 8-8.5, Eu 38 for years. This year, I thought vanity sizing happened-my best fit was 7.5 = 38. Ordered these in 7.5, they were too short, too tight, despite the unisex sizing at D width. I don't think the width is a true D like men's. I have always loved the NB classic. This style is awesome, looks better than the photo, looks more worth the money than some of these others at similar price. Going to try again, size larger, but they should have a wider toe box.

Excellent comfort, cushion, and support for a casual shoe. They are actually the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned, besides very expensive running shoes. They also fit the same as any other classic New Balance shoe.

Fits true to size. Comfortable. This model is more sturdy than the older 997 models, with a reshaped outsole. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes neutral colors.
