New Balance W801 - Pure comfort -
This shoe is amazing. It gives support and is comfortable. The toe room is exceptional. It is one of my most favorite casual shoes.

Review of pink New Balance-
I really like this shoe as it is stylish and in my favorite color-pink. I like this shoe so much that I may even order another pair in blue. I wore these shoes around all day in Las Vegas for five days and they held up great. Overall, I rate these shoes as stellar.
Thank you,
Angela Branning

Warning about inaccurate size chart! I wear Euro 41-42 which the size chart said was woman's 11. I ordered size 11 to get a box labeled Euro 43 /Woman's 11. The shoes were Euro 43 -- too big for me.

These are fairly comfortable. I needed them backless due to a heel problem and they worked fine. I wouldn't recommend them for hiking event though the sole is ok for that as it would be too easy for your feet to slide out.

This is a comfy shoe, but not so good looking on my long foot, so I wear it more as a slipper around the house. I did have to return it for a whole size smaller. As always, return and shipping was quick and easy. I will only give it 4 stars due to my personal preference, but it is a nice shoe.

The current version of this shoe seems wider than the older model (2-3 years ago), and the heel cup is definitely more shallow (less like a clog and more like a sandal). The old version fit me perfectly; this one, not so much.

I usually take a 8M but in these I went to a 7.5W. They are comfortable and stay on without slipping. I did need to add an arch support.

Great throw on and go shoe! Comfortable and easy to wear. A bit hard to get clean. I bought these for my daughter who is a real "sports mom" and they sure do a good job for an on the run shoe.

Like these shoes. Glad I read the reviews, I don't usually wear a wide, but ordered it after reading the reviews and it fits great.

Comfy shoes, but I would order a half size up next time. This shoe seems true to size if you don't wear a sock with any thickness to it. The elastic across the arch sort of pushes my foot back in the shoe so that my heel rubs a little. I have a high arch, and the elastic is tight across it which keeps the shoe on and is not uncomfortable at all, but I do find myself pushing my foot forward regularly. I walk in these, and do think a half size up would solve the issue, since I will always wear socks with these. The grey color is very neutral and looks nice without being overly sneaker-looking.

I initially ordered an 8.5 med. (which is the width I wear) but was too snug. Ordered an 8.5 wide and were much better. My only complaint is the inside seams are a little rough. I may have to wear socks which I didn't want to do. But I like the appearance of the shoes so will keep and enjoy. Thanks Zappos for great service!

This shoe does run a tiny bit narrow as mentioned. I had to get 1/2 size larger an find the fit ok. It has good cushion in the sole.

Cute sporty look -
Loved the versatile colors with the tan and multi stripe. I was hoping for a bit higher sole and heel, but I like the shoe. Looks great with casual attire and is comfortable.

A new look for tennis shoes -
These shoes are great for my job because the give me an added amount of support. The only problem that I do have is that there is not enough support for the ankles. After a couple of days of wearing these shoes my ankles hurt. These are the type of shoes that you have to break up the days that you wear them.

All New Balance shoes are pretty much a good bet!

Warm -
These shoes are comfy, but I've never had my feet sweat in any other shoe after just 10 minutes or so.

NICE!
Received the New Balance slip-ons and they fit great. Ordered wide and they fit perfect. I was worried because other reviews indicated they were very narrow. Wore them all day on vacation and no trouble at all. I'm now waiting for them to become available in black in my size. :)

Easy Go Shoe -
I purchased the khaki version of this shoe with the colorfully striped elastic band tongue. I like the way they look; they go with almost every casual outfit. They are comfy and easy to wear, although I have a hard time getting my entire foot in the shoe so that I don't feel like the back of my foot is hanging off. They are made to hold tight on the front of the foot to keep the shoe on, which makes sense. I would suggest trying a half size larger in this shoe so you don't fight to get your foot all the way in like I do.

I love these shoes!
I love these shoes. Great for the mom on the go. I had to order wide. I have never worn a wide shoe but these were very tight across the top and sides of the foot. The wide fit perfect .

New shoe -
Very comfortable, except the left shoe has a seam that hits the top of my foot on the right side that caused a blister the first couple of times I wore it.

Great comfort ,great price!
I love the tan with multi-toned elastic. I bought them for a fun, comfy summer shoe while pregnant. They fit great, like all new balances, and they have a bit of room to grow as my feet swell.
I often buy athletic shoes one size larger than my normal shoe size for a truer fit and so that the ball of my feet matches the shoe break.

New Balance W801's-
I ordered a size 6.5 and a 7, because I wasn't sure which would fit better. I normally wear a 6.5, but lately I have been wearing a 7 in Nike running shoes. These shoes are just what I was looking for. I can slip them on and off easily. And, they are perfect for taking the dogs out on a walk. I have even worn them to work on "casual Friday's" with jeans! My only word of caution is that I think the black might show dirt more than other colors, but I just liked the black the best. The nice thing about Zappos is even though you cannot try the shoes on as you would in a store they have free, quick shipping and a lot of patience- I had to return other shoes before I found these!

Just what I wanted -
These New Balance W801's are just what I wanted. Something easy to slip into to walk the dog, run errands and generally give my feet time off after being in "work shoes" all day.
Wish they were a little "prettier" but they are very comfortable. They are a little hot - I am not sure if I will like them in the summer...we will see.
Like other New Balance shoes, I ordered 1 full size larger than my regular street shoe and they are a perfect fit.

I hoped these would be comfortable enough to wear without socks but have been disappointed. There are rough seams on the upper of each shoe which rub either on a bunion and my smallest toe. The heel cup wasn't deep enough to hold my overpronation orthotic until I cut away the back part of the insole either.
