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!

I bought these while rehabbing from a back injury. I needed slip-ons with cushioning (my Danskos, Merrells, and Birkenstocks sent a shock up my spine with each step) and support. I got the silver and grey which was made of a solid, (no perforations, no mesh) synthetic suede. They were extremely tight across the ball of my foot at first, but loosened up to a true medium fit after about half an hour of wearing them around the house. They are extremely comfortable for standing and short periods of easy walking (teaching a class, shopping) but not secure enough for walking briskly--I feel like I'm going to walk out of them, and I wear clogs/mules all the time that don't feel like that. While the insoles are removable for orthotics, there was no heel lip once I put them in, so that wasn't going to work. To my great surprise, they are so supportive that I don't need the orthotics in these. I wear an 11 in the New Balance 993s, and took the same in these. The synthetic suede does make my feet sweat more than I'd like, so would look for a mesh or actual leather pair if they were available. Very pleased with these overall, though, and the price is quite fair.

Love these shoes. Feel like I live in them. The last pair I had were 9 and they got a little loose. I ordered 8.5 this time and they are perfect. Had been looking for black color and these are great. They match everything really well and are so comfortable. Highly recommend!

I like these 801's and they replaced an old pair that I wore out! This pair is a bit narrower than the prior pair, but fit nicely. Great step-in shoes.

I have a 'low profile' foot, and these shoes fit me wonderfully. They're reasonably comfortable with socks, but got a blister on my toe when I wore them barefoot. The elastic across the instep may help accommodate women with higher insteps. I love being able to slip these guys on. I don't like the black faux leather toe covering. Overall I'd give these shoes 4.5 stars because they meet my need for a comfortable slip on shoe with an excellent sole and good comfort. I'm planning to buy another pair.

Awesome slide a bit clunky on style but like them enough I'm on my second pair. I wear them with a full orthotic. With the orthotic I replace the manufacturer's footbed and I can wear them barefoot by getting a half size smaller. If I wear them with athletic socks and my orthotic, then my regular shoe size works. Otherwise if I want to go barefoot in my regular size they are too sloppy.
