Nice shoe, support but runs small - i normally wear a 6 and i bought a 7 just in case - still too small. Would have tried a larger size but was not given that option online - just to return it

I'm disappointed that this particular shoe does not have the cushion that "fresh foam" and description implies. It's a substantial shoe which holds your foot in place but not enough cushion.

I always get the fresh foam running shoes. In the older models I have, the mesh molded more comfortably to my feet. These new ones feel like the mesh has been reinforced with hard material where it connects to the sole, and they feel less flexible. My toe nails feel sore after I've had them on a couple hours, so I have to take them off.

Comfort and support but a bit hard/rough on the top of my foot/toe. Size is appropriate but other series are better for running. This is a good cross training shoe.

These are cute and made my feet look small (sz9) but they were narrow and snug all over. Order a 1/2 size up and get a wide. I returned.

I had to return these super plush shoes because the material around the ankle bends inward making it rub against the ankle. I had to return them.

I loved the shoes but they were almost a full size too small for me. Had to send them back.

Good looking shoe; comfortable heel but cuts into ankles so returning. In terms of fit, my feet are narrow/medium, and width was about right. Would need 1/2 size larger for toe box.

I ordered a half size up and it was needed. The length is perfect. I will have to use my orthotics with this shoe because there was no arch support, The ball of the foot area is very wide. I decided to keep because I can cinch the shoe with the shoestrings and it will negate the width problem. I can wear my orthotics and the overall sole of the shoe is nicely padded. I like shoes that do not scream "LookATMe!" and these fit the bill in looks.

This shoe was supposed to be wide but is visibly more narrow than my previous NB shoes.

Normally, I'm a big fan of New Balance but I was surprised with this shoes because it looked like a kid shoes. I needed to check the size again. It felt real tight.

Shoe was a bit too deep for me. I have prominent ankle bones and the collar rubbed them.

I have been loyal to New Balance for many years. However, I was extremely disappointed when these new styles arrived. The fabric is very thin, arrived wrinkled (yes, a wrinkled shoe!), shoe color is wrong (white looks yellowish). The fit feels about the same as previous models but the sole is thinner. What happened!!
I'd also recommend:
Clarks, Merrill, Skecher, Nike, Asics, SAS

rocker bottom sole. my fault I didn't catch in description. It is a very deep rocker sole. Not good for an older senior.

This pair of shoes, or the left shoe I should say, felt lumpy. The shoe on the left had hardly any cushion under the ball of the foot, whereas the right shoe did feel good overall throughout the sole with good cushion. It is not a support shoe that is for sure, but a good slipper shoe for those not needing much support. Had to return them for the uneven and lumpy soles and lack of cushion distribution on the left shoe.

Width was generous. Not enough padding under the toes and very little arch support.

These fit very strangely so I only use them for uppers' day when I'm training. They are extra wide in the middle and puff out.

I really wanted but it has small torn places between the 4th & 5th tie string holes, near the end of the tongue.
