New Balance W8505 - Bought these for occasional wear with jeans. They were more comfy than the other pair I bought for walking every day so I usually wear these for my walks. Felt true to size. Could have a bit more cushion in the ball of foot area, but overall pretty good.

Great - I have been wearing New Balance happily for many years and these shoes are true to New Balance form. The fit is true and they cushion in all the right places for a runner with Neutral cushioning requirements. Shoes made by Nike are always too short in the toe...as are many brands, but New Balance has a perfect fit for me...long foot, low instep, and high arch.

Super stylin' sneaker - I REALLY wanted these in black but they didn’t have my size so I got them in white. I have gotten so many compliments on them. Plus, I had wicked shin splints due to my old sneakers, since I got these I haven't had any problems. They're supportive and very stylish!

First order - Very pleased with order, shipping was great; I ordered on Sunday night and received the shoes on Tuesday-Unbelievable. Shoes fit perfectly, wear them every day morning to night. Zappos is a great place to shop.

Love em!! Absolutely adore my new kicks!! I’m sooo glad I found your site because I can’t find shoes that fit me, and look good and are comfortable. I have bought several pair from your site…I will never buy shoes anywhere else. The Satisfaction guarantee is the greatest, along with the fast shipping!!!

I love the fact that these shoes are so light - you almost don't realize you have them on. The one drawback I have is that there is a "cup" around the heel. It just feels funny - it definitely takes the place of my orthotics but it isn't as comfortable as my orthotics.

Looks great, fits great. Makes my 9-1/2 look a bit big. Fits much better than Nike.

Comfy and cute - I bought these shoes for walking and they are much more comfortable than my Nikes. Lots of room in the toe box and like the white/platinum color scheme.

LOVE this shoe!!! I ordered and tried on TONS of shoes and finally settled with these the second I tried them on!! I am a nurse, work 12 hour shifts, and have pretty bad plantar fasciitis. These shoes are wonderful and best of all, my orthotics fit inside them beautifully!! Zappos is the best place EVER to buys shoes, tons of choices, and great shipping!!

Zappos has figured it out. The shoes are great but the best part of purchase is the service from Zappos. This is my second purchase from Zappos and I could not be more pleased. Items are shipped immediately and arrive when promised.

They Fit - I have developed bunions on my feet. So besides my feet being small, I now have another issue. These shoes are working well for me. The material offers enough give so that my bunions aren’t hurting. I purchased the regular size shoe I normally wear as I was afraid the wider width would be too wide. I am very happy with my purchase.

Love these shoes & Zappos - I am in love, I read everyone’s reviews and asked around before I bought these shoes and I am in heaven with them highly recommended. I usually wore Nikes, but I found my new favorite shoes. I bought them in black and am ordering the white and grey ones, Love all the colors. I ordered a W as recommended and am glad for that extra width.

These sneakers rock! I am so happy with my new sneakers. They are very comfortable, feels like walking on air. Width is very good, not too narrow, and perfect for New Balance. Highly recommend.

Not just for running. This is an excellent shoe. I ordered it in black and white and white and orange. Whether I'm on the treadmill, elliptical trainer or taking a hip hop class, these shoes offer all the support I need and particularly supports my heel which I have problems with. Ladies always ask where I got the black and white shoes; they love them. I own several Nike Frees at $110 a pop, so this shoe is a better bargain.

NB - Shoes were great. Fit and comfort level were expected. I usually wear them to work out and they have a good amount of cushion.

Great Shoe - This shoe is great, running, walking or whatever you choose to do. I have always had Nike running shoes and now I don't think I'll ever go back.

Very comfortable yet supportive shoe - I was very pleased when I put this shoe on for the first time and was able to wear it all day without having to break it in. It is very comfortable yet provides the support I need in an athletic shoe. I liked it so much, I bought a white pair as well!

The perfect sneaker. Stylish, lightweight and comfy all in one! These shoes needed no breaking in period. It's not as shiny in person as it looks on-line either. I plan to buy these in other colors. It's hard for me to find sneakers that are this comfortable from the get go. I'm very happy I bought them.

CLASSY LOOKING SHOES - This shoe even impressed my grandchildren (14,16 &18)---very slim, classy and colors are great!! I ordered a half size larger per one of the reviews and this was perfect! New Balance never let's me down. PLUS, good support for my pronation problem. ZAPPOS IS THE BEST IN MY BOOK, LOVE YOUR SITE!!

Interesting - I bought these shoes because, A) They got awesome reviews. The one that snagged me was the reference to room in the toe-box for your toes to spread. AND IT WAS RIGHT. Wooo... B) They're comfy. And C) They're SHARP shoes. I wish the black was in my size (I got the orange at 2nd choice) because they fit perfectly snug just like a light, great-fitting New Balance running shoe always does. Great shoe for the money. Oh, and just so you know, they aren't as bright in real life as they look online.

Overall good sneaker - Nice looking, comfortable, order one half size larger than your regular shoe size. (But why are the laces so long!?)...
