Customer Reviews New Balance Classics M801 Clog

Wide Shoes for my son- My son has extremely wide feet with a high instep making it very difficult to find comfortable shoes that fit. He was so thrilled with these New Balance slip on shoes that I bought him a pair in each color.

The Ultimate Casual Comfort - My wife introduced me to the comfort of clogs. I thought that they were less than masculine. I am now a believer! These shoes are great for "jean" days and are as comfortable as house slippers. The fit is great and you can't beat Zappos for price and service. Get them today! I am a Zappos customer from now on!

These are comfortable, and the thing that surprised is they are a lot more "sleek" looking than I expected. They are not the least bit clunky like some other "mules". A very good value.

Post surgery - these work very well for a person who has hip-replacement surgery and can not bend over for 3 months to tie shoes.

The upper seam in the middle where the elastic gore is sewn into the side top panels seam rubs the top of the foot. Other than that they seemed pretty comfy. Sad to say I'm returning them.

I tried 4 different pairs of the 801's, in four different sizes, and none of them fit, all were uncomfortable for different reasons. The length seems right for the sizes, but the D/Medium width is skin tight and smashes toes, the 2E is a little better, and then the 4E is very wide. In all of the size variations, my front toes smashed into the sides and/or front of this shoe. If you have semi-wide feet such as mine (E width), this may be hard to fit. The D and to some extent the 2E are narrow due to the design, and the 4E is so wide that unless you have truly big wide (4E-6E) feet, your foot will probably smash forward, into the front of the shoe. This shoe is very good at letting your toes smash into the front and sides of the shoe. I think the huge expanse of elastic over the top of the shoe is a big part of the problem, plus it just seems apparent that not much fitting/ergonomic design went into this shoe. I have worn more than a few 2E and 4E wide New Balance shoes over the years that fit great and are delightful; not this one! I really wanted the 801's to work -- this shoe is ideal for running errands and for walking the dog, but it just didn't work for my foot. The final pair I received (12.5 2E) is going to the Goodwill; I tried to endure with them and make them work, but after only a few dozen yards, my feet still just scream to get these toe smashing nightmares off!

These shoes will take some getting used to but are great. They're easy enough to get on and off without bending over or needing to kick them off. The reason they take some adjustment is that you can't walk heel-toe in them like heavily cushioned sneakers have trained you. They'll slide part way off if you try. Instead, you need to walk toe-heel the way that evolution has designed us to. It's a good habit to get in anyway but your thighs get sore from walking correctly if you aren't used to it.

You guys never cease to amaze me! Ordered the shoes in the morning on 5/23 and received them via UPS on 5/24 in the pm! Customer service is still top notch as it was 4 years ago when I bought my last pair from you. The NB's are great looking, comfortable, affordable, and best of all if they didn't fit I could have exchanged them at no cost! How can you beat that? Love you guys!

I have been searching for a comfortable clog. Found this baby, ordered it, have it on right now. So comfortable, stylish, and supportive. I have a 4W foot and this shoe fits. Just ordered it in black.

Excellent shoe, fits right and is very comfortable. Would buy again.

Great Shoe - This is one of the most comfortable wearing pair of shoes I own. Recommending this shoe to anyone who has bad arches as I do requiring the comfort this shoe offers. The M801 is definitely a 5 star in all categories, although there needs to be more than only 2 colors to select from.

New Balance M801 - Typical New Balance high quality with convenience of a slip-on - good support, works well with orthotics.

Great Shoe - This is a wonderful shoe when you just want to slip something on. I've done a lot of shopping/walking in them and they are great. I'm on my second pair and love them. Highly recommended!

Outstanding service and product. - Bill from NY - Ordered in the afternoon, received the following morning. Fit was as stated, great. Comfort and style excellent. Being arthritic I have trouble with laces. This shoe serves me well. Zappos deserves a Ten.

This makes my second pair of M801. They are very comfortable and easy to get on and off. Wish they came in other colors such as red and navy...Thank you Zappos for such outstanding service and speed, you are the BEST. I continue to tell all my friends and family about Zappos. Again, thank you from a loyal customer.

Nice shoe, but too narrow - I ordered the EE shoe, but it was too narrow. Length was good, to slightly long.

Finally - A truly comfortable shoe - My husband has non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy (his feet hurt all the time). We ordered these after reading other reviews and received them the next morning. He is absolutely thrilled with them - says they're the MOST comfortable shoes he has (and he has plenty). He has barely taken them off since he received them.

Very comfortable - Look great with jeans. Very lightweight. Can stand and walk for long periods with less fatigue.

Great for big feet! This is the second pair of the M801's that my husband had ordered. He wears a 14EEEE and swears these are by far the most comfortable shoes he's owned.

Great for women, too! The W801/802's didn't work for me, but these did. I'd recommend these to women who liked the style, but found the women's model too narrow. These are very comfortable and still "cute" enough for ladies. If New Balance could design a unisex model that fit like the men's shoe but with the extending color/style options of the women's, then everything would be peachy! I'm glad I tried them. Zappos makes it so easy!

New Balance M801 - I bought these shoes for my dad who is a senior citizen. His first response was, "they're too feminine," but he rarely takes them off. He even takes his daily two mile walk in them.

Cool Shoes - Literally, these are cool shoes. I suffer from nondiabetic peripheral neuropathy and these shoes keep my feet cooler than any I've found and I have spent several hundred dollars searching for this much comfort. To you that have burning feet whether from diabetes or nondiabetes, I highly recommend them. To those that like a quick on quick off comfortable non flopping shoe, this is it.

M801 - great - Love them. Had to return the first purchase of a size 10 as they were too short to get a 10 1/2. Once I got the 10 1/2 - they are great. Wear them almost everywhere.

Better than a Croc - These live up to the New Balance name; I have never had a bad shoe from them. It was great to see this slip-on come out. Fits and feels as good as their cross trainers, but much easier to put on which is great for us disabled.

I like 'em, but get teased for wearing clogs. I had purchased a pair years ago and was having trouble finding them again. Thanks Zappos for having them! They are great for lazy days when sneakers or docksiders are too much. I wear them all year long. Not good for longer walking trips as my feet/calves begin to ache due to lack of support. But, a great lazy man's sneaker! Oh...I get teased a lot!
