This is one of my favorite pairs of shoes that I have ever had. I love these. They fit great, are super confortable and are great to wear with jeans or shorts. I like how low they are and still have good support. They did develop a little sqeak in the heel of one shoe after about a year of wearing, but still these are awesome shoes.

Comfortable, supportive, after 2 and a half months have lasted very well (yes, I know this isn't too long), look nice as well. I love these shoes. I received my order very promptly as well, been very pleased with both the shoes and the service I received.

I like these shoes a lot. They're great for everday casual wear and they go with anything because they're brown/earth tones. The arch support is a little higher than I was used to but my feet adapted quickly and now they're super comfortable.

Shoes looked great. While they were a little more snug than I expected, they still fit and were easy to break in.

This shoes is absolutely amazing. I've gone out and bought these shoes twice in a row because of how universal they are. The thing about these shoes, though, is that they flatten out over time, the nice round edge nose doesn't last and eventually levels out with the rest of the shoes.

Great comfort, great retro look, and I'd recommend buying one size larger than you would normally wear in a dress shoe. I'm a 12 or 12.5 normally, but I ordered the 13 in this shoe, and it's perfect. The width is good too, as for me I can't wear a Nike shoe for example - too narrow. This NB has plenty of width. Highly recommend.

Best shoes ever. Bought these for my husband. Can't beat the price ... plus they look cool. Retro without screaming 'look at my retro cool shoes'. Also comfortable. Pretty narrow, and run a full size small.

I love these shoes. I even run in them. I\'ve quit having back and foot pain since I started wearing them. It may not be because of the shoes, but I\'m thinking it is.

Really nice sneaker, retro styling is great. Got them in white, go great with jeans and very comfortable. Break in really easily. Would buy again. Zappos once again the best place to buy online, ordered in the afternoon, at my door the next morning.

These are sleek, great looking, comfortable shoes. I bought them for my long walk to work in my brown suits, but I'm finding myself wearing them all the time. True to size and good arch support as well. If you're never bought shoes from Zappos it amazing. It's the only way I buy shoes.

I love these shoes! They go with all of my stuff and have enough pop to get noticed. I am not running in them but they feel great and look great! Zappos' service was great! I ordered these before I left for a trip and completely did not expect to get them before I left. The shoes came quickly and I got to wear them to Chicago! Way to go Zappos!

I am in the Navy and have relied on Zappos for all my shoes while I am deployed overseas. I have been using NB 992 and previous models, as running shoes for the last 7 years. I bought the M556 and they fit exactly as the 992. I have slightly wide feet and these shoes fit perfectly. Great shoes for my crossfit workouts. I am currently in Germany and these shoes arrived within 8 days from my order. Zappos doesn\'t always have the best price, but their customer service is unbeatable and is the reason why I use them for 90% of my shoe purchases.

I am glad I listened to the reviews. They run a half size small. I ordered an 11 and they rock! I dig the retro look and now represent. I find myself keeping them clean and looking good. Mad props to Zappos. I was upgraded and had the shoes the next day!

Excellent, stylish shoes. Notably cushioned and more supportive than typical retro-styled athletic shoes. Slightly favors the neutral to supinated foot. Highly recommended for style/comfort. I will be buying more of these!Fits 1/2 size smaller as typical with most athletic shoes. If you are a size 10 shoe, order a half-full size larger (10.5).

Feels great, not too much arch support - which is great for my flat feet. After wearing high top Chucks for years, it was a bit strange getting used to the firm heel, but with proper socks it’s a great fit.

They feel great, and look great, too. I got the black/green ones and put my own neon green laces in, which makes them look even better. I followed the advice to get a 1/2 size bigger and they fit great.

I got the black ones for my boyfriend. He loves them. I picked up the tan ones for myself because they are unisex. They are very comfy and look great with jeans.

New Balance makes a shoe that fits nicely on a narrow foot. I love NB because they are so comfortable, but they are usually a little wide for my foot. These feel and look great! The colors choices are good, too. Thanks, Zappos and NB.

Just got these last night and like them. Based on reviews, I ordered them a half size larger than my normal size and they seem to fit great. Very comfortable. Cool look. Recommended.

Great shoe, snug fit, nice laces, bouncy sole. I like how I can slip them on and off without tying them too tight and they still hug my foot well.

These looked great, but I agree with the other poster that they run small. I would guess half size small, but I will know for sure after I\'ve returned the first pair and get a half size up.

First of all, Zappos is awesome. Shipping service is fabulous.\r\n\r\nThe M556 is a good shoe that seems pretty durable and I have no problem working long shifts in it. Very comfortable!
