These shoes were very mushy and my ankles kept wanting to roll in/outwards to just stabilize my balance. Kind of like walking on a rocky terrain whereby you're thinking that you'll twist your ankle any second now. I tried them out just on my hardwood floors at home. They didn't feel stable enough for me and I couldn't imagine running in these shoes much less just walking in them.
I'd also recommend:
Hoka, Brooks

I bought these shoes to put in my running rotation as a wide foot girly. I have worn them with and without custom orthodox inserts and they’re fine either way. They’re extremely light and bouncy - I love them for speed days and short runs and also just comfy to walk in. Definitely for warmer climates/weather as the mesh is very thin. Got my normal running shoe size. This is my first pair of new balance and I would purchase again!

I am a huge new balance fan, and these did not disappoint! Typically wear a 6.5 and had to size up 1/2 size because of the length, width is true to what I expect from a B width . I will be purchasing additional colors in this style! If you are on the fence get them!!

Love! Super lightweight, lots of cushion and decent arch support, which is hard to find in a neutral shoe.

When my Rebel v4 shoes wore out, I got this v5 and it is great!!! Same light weight, support and comfort. I love this shoe for my treadmill johs and hikes. Very pleased and wear these almost every day.

I feel like I am walking on clouds. For someone who has wide feet with no arch, these are amazing.

Hands down the best running shoe I've owned. I've been Brooks through and through, I am a neutral runner with some knee problems, and these have been the least achy on my legs. They're light they're breathable and pretty. I do however wish that the tread lasted a little longer but that's the compromise having a light weight smooth shoe. Not going back to Brooks.

End of the year and needing to replace my Rebel V4's, which I love. I'm always nervous when doing this in case the new versions get tweeked too much. Nope. Not this time! These are just as good as my V4's. Thanks NB for not overthinking the design of what works!

My husband and I both bought these shoes for walking. They are literally like walking on pillows! So comfortable and supportive without a break in period! I went back about a week after receiving and bought the same shoe in a different color! I highly recommend this GREAT SHOE!

Different colors run small. I tried these on in store and the 10.5 fit perfectly (even store worker agreed) but they didnt have the color I wanted. I ordered online and for some reason the exact same size in the neon green felt 1/2 a size smaller. Very frustrating as a consumer.

I bought these hoping they would be a daily trainer but no such luck. I've kept them as very comfy walking shoes. I walked up to 10 miles a day at Disney World for a solid week and these saved my feet. My feet felt fresh every day which is amazing. Very comfy with some bounce. Quick drying too. It's too bad I can't use them for running. I've got the V4's for comparision. They're an improvement in terms of my foot strike (mid to forefoot). They feel smoother on transition. But my feet and legs are beat up after running in these. The V4's actually felt more responsive but they also beat my feet and quads to hell. I don't even think I'd use these on tempo days or shorter miles. Responsive but not enough cushion before my forefoot feels like they're pounding the pavement.
