I bought two pairs of these shoes in the grey/orange and the navy blue/grey. They just do not hold up that well. I only have used them for casual purposes, not sports or exercising. After only having them for two months they began to come apart at the seams. They are stylish and sleek. I have received compliments on them. They are comfortable, but do not plan on owning them for long.

Awesome looking shoe. The only problem is that after only a week, the rubber on the front of both shoes started peeling back. Easy to fix with some glue.

Comfortable, retro stylish. Comfort in a casual sneaker without the bulk of a running shoe. Size feels a little small.

Pretty comfortable shoe, though it takes a bit to break them in.

The shoe definitely fits true to width. However, I would say that it runs small by about a size in length. A nice stylish retro shoe. Great for weekends.

Beautiful shoes. I'll admit that I went for appearance when shopping for new shoes this time around. I've always trusted New Balance, so I set out for the coolest looking ones I could find in my price range. So. They don't disappoint in that department. I have to say, for some reason I find these shoes aren't totally comfy when I'm sitting, whether in class or otherwise. Walking and jogging, these guys are fantastic, but when I sit down, something doesn't feel perfect. Nonetheless, I have no regrets about the purchase. Recommended.

Excellent shoes for kicking around... a little more narrow than most New Balance, which is nice for a more stylish fit.

Very comfortable, stylish but the tip of the sole on the left shoe started to detach after 1 week.

Run small. I've got a pair of 574s in size 12 which fit perfectly, so I thought the same size would work for this style. These are much narrower and a bit shorter than the 574s, probably about a half size too small for me. Also, the look is very meshy, even if the upper has full leather construction.

I bought these for my son's birthday based on the reviews. Less than one month later, they started getting holes on top of them. I would expect for the price that they would last longer than a month. Very disappointed in this product.

These shoes look cool, and are comfortable. However, after wearing them for a little over a month (just as a casual shoe) the right shoe's leather near the big toe, just wore out, there is now a hole in my shoe, they are only a month old and they are worthless.
