Customer Reviews New Balance Classics W801 - Deleted

comfortable but a bit clunky looking around the toe not as slim and nice as the old 470 New Balance used to make.

These looked like a replacement for style# 790, which were terrific. The new ones do not compare: the back rims are flat causing them to slip off, the soles are wide and clumsy, and the fit is not as comfortable.

Bought this show because Ryka doesn't make the athletic slide anymore - what a shame. Wear this shoe to walk the dog. After 2 months of wear (not everyday) it looks like c**p. Has not held up. Moderately comfortable. Pales in contrast to Ryka. Very disappointed. NB is a good brand, but guess they blew it on this on.

I am disappointed with these shoes. Several years ago I bought a pair that I continue to wear and love. First I bought a 6 medium; too snug over the left foot where I have a bunion (my original pair were a regular 6. So I returned and got a 6 wide. They are still too tight and I end up taking them off after an hour or so. True, the design is slightly different on the outside but the fit is very different. I am not happy with these shoes but having worn them (in hopes of breaking them in. I can't return them.

This shoe was extremely uncomfortable. I had several blisters from maybe 5 hours of use. It is very stiff and just not that comfortable. I also bought another New Balance shoe and it was much better.

Great on the outside, poor on the inside - The concept is great; a slip on athletic shoe, but it needs more work. They are cute, but that is where it stops. The inside has little lining; it has raw seams on the top. I wore these for about 1 minute and they went back in the box to be returned. The top of my foot was red after that short time. They are a blister in the making.

Cute but not so comfy - I really like the look of these shoes, and hoped that they would be as comfy as they looked. Not so! The left one kills my bunion on that foot--yet the right is okay. My left foot is slightly larger, but I ordered a 7 which should have compensated. Maybe these shoes run small, but I've been disappointed. I can't wear them for very long.

I could not even get my toes into these so I stopped and put them right back in the box. Too bad because I love the style and wanted them to work. I have a back injury, botched knee surgery and need help getting shoes on. On top plantar fasciitis, flat foot, heel spurs. Yea, I am falling apart!

These shoes felt comfortable for a short while. I could hardly walk after a 10 hour shift wearing them, my feet hurt so bad!

The shoe looks good, but it's not made to the standards of New Balance. It fits as if it were a copy, not made by New Balance. It's uncomfortable and not worth the price.

Shoe looked better online. Not really impressed. First of all, the fit was way too long. Felt like they were going to fall off my foot. My big toe hit the soft part of the shoe, not pleasant. Very disappointing. Looked good, felt cheap.
