Just started wearing them the other day and now they feel like slippers on my feet. I especially love the fact that you can just slip your feet right into them and be on your way. That was one of the reasons I decided to purchase these sneakers.

I shop a lot on the internet, and I must say that ordering from Zappos was one of the easiest and most satisfying. The shoes I was looking for were quickly found, easily ordered and arrived at my door promptly...and at the best price I could find. When I look for shoes in the future, Zappos is where I'll go first.

Cannot believe the fast, fast shipping! Will definitely buy from Zappos again. I would probably go with the wider size next time. Would have exchanged but I had worn them out. Still love them!

These are the best shoes for those with plantar fasciitis. They are so comfortable! I totally recommend these shoes for people with foot issues and have difficulty walking. They also work for people with high insteps as well. Great shoe!

The shoes are just what I expected; I have had two pairs before them and I like how they slip on and yet have comfort. I do use a special insole in my shoes so I cannot comment on arch support. Zappos shipped them quickly.

I love them! They seemed small at first but once I really pressed my feet into them they stretched and fit perfectly. These shoes are really great for barre junkies. The sticky socks we use to grip the mat are a pain to put into traditional shoes. I had to go a half size up because they run a bit small.

Love my NB 801's. I have been wearing them for several years. They are my go to shoes. I have feet issues and have to be very selective about my shoes. 801's are THE BEST!

I love these shoes. I've only had them about a week, but already live in them. Very comfortable. I'm a size 9 with Med width and they fit perfectly.

This is my go-to slip on every busy morning when I am bringing the kids to school. It is on the wide side for a normal width. As to the length, I had to order 1/2 size down. I love that it stays on your foot well. Some mules my heel ends up standing on the edge which is uncomfortable, but not with this shoe; you are able to slide forward and stay put.

I bought this shoes for a Disney World trip and loved them! So comfy, easy to slip on and off, and so stylish. I wanted a comfy new sneaker but something cute and this fit the bill. I got a small blister on my toe on day 3 but that's to be expected since the first time I wore them was at Disney World and we know how much walking happens there. I wish I had bought them sooner and broken them in, but honestly, they didn't need much breaking in.

I've worn these shoes for years, they fit well, nice toe box and comfortable. I bought this pair for my 91 year old mom because she's having trouble tying her regular sneakers. She loves them and they're easy to get on and she feels stable on her feet.

All the reviews indicated this shoe ran narrow and to order a wider width. Did so and ordered a wide instead of medium. The result is a hugely too wide shoe and I'm reluctantly returning them.

I love these shoes. I have 3 pair and have just ordered the Komen ones. They are very comfortable. These are my "have a million errands to run and will be on my feet all day" shoes. They are not for the gym; I find the classic cross-trainers are better for that.

These W801 Classics are the absolute best. Great support. No laces to tie. Easy on and easy off. I would suggest you go up 1/2 size since it is a slip-on. I have heel-spurs and cannot tolerate shoes with a back. These are perfect for me!

I loved the look and feel of this should. I have a very narrow foot and a high arch and usually wear 2A. Since the shoe runs narrow I took a chance on the B width. The width was ok ...a little loose but the length ended up being about 1/2 inch long so I'm returning them. Too bad because they felt like they would be very comfortable and day to wear.

This is the most comfortable shoe I have worn in years. I walked all over Europe on vacation, and never had tired feet. The support and comfort was amazing. I highly recommend this shoe for anyone wanting a great shoe.

I wear the New Balance 801 everyday. I have back pain and need a flat shoe and one that is comfortable and has support. I have this shoe in just about every color. Thanks New Balance.

I purchased these to wear behind my desk while at work. I just changed from a sit down desk to a stand up desk and needed some extra support for my feet. These slip on easily and give me the support that I need to stand and walk in place behind my desk. These were comfortable from the start. No break in time needed. I normally wear a size 8 in athletic shoes (7½ in sandals). I read other's reviews and they said to order up half to a full size. I had originally ordered an 8½ (that is what I wear in Nike shoes) but they were way too big. Those seemed extra wide for me. So I sent them back and ordered a size 8 which fits perfectly. Stick with your normal size. If you are between sizes I would order the larger size.

These run very large. I wear a 9 in New Balance sneakers but the 9 and the 8 1/2 were way too big in this mule style. Returning those to try an 8. Love to wear these to walk outside to walk dogs or fill bird-feeders. Love the slip-on style for quick, short trips.

I've been purchasing New Balance shoes for over 10 years now, and feel they provide the best comfort and support for my shoe size, Women's 11 wide. The arch support is very important to me as I have high arches, New Balance has yet to disappoint.
The only reason I gave this a 4-star for comfort is that the upper or vamp is a bit tight across my foot. I'm sure with wear, it will loosen and be more comfortable.
This shoe is great for kicking around home or when I go out for errands. I also use them for short walks with the dog.

First of all I hate tie shoes so of course I tried these shoes. I am on my third pair not because they wear out but because of the colors available. I have a very painful knee so I need cushion,arch support and a good fit and this is fits the bill. I have tried many shoes but this is the best one for me.

I love my shoes; this is my second pair. And, of course, Zappos ships almost as fast as I can think of ordering from them. I am always astonished at the speed of a delivery, and their acceptance of returns. I have been buying from them for years, and I will keep buying from them!

Love NB and love these shoes. Have had several pairs of the 801 slipons over the years. Firm support and cush; great tread and stability. True to size and snug enough for short hikes. Removable inserts for washing as these shoes are fine without socks. Easy on and off makes for easy indoors to outdoors and back in again!
