Customer Reviews New Balance Classics CW442

This shoe was exactly what I was looking for: kicky, retro, sporty casual. I was worried that even the wide width wouldn't be wide enough for my feet, but it fits comfortably and even makes my feet look more narrow. I also inserted arch supports very easily.

I wanted a pair of shoes that I could wear with most clothes and not look like I just came from the gym. Very comfortable and lightweight.

I'm in nursing school and these shoes have been perfect! Another student also has them and she loves them!

These sneakers go great with jeans. Before wearing them, I suggest spraying the sneakers with waterproofer to prevent dye transfer from dark-colored jeans. Also, I think these sneakers are a better fit for someone with narrow feet.

I love these shoes! It's so difficult for me to find all white shoes, which are a requirement at my job, that are also cute. This is my second pair. The first pair lasted me a couple of years. The best thing about them is their comfort right from the start. No weeks of discomfort trying to break them in like alot of shoes are for me. The first day out of the box was like wearing a broke-in pair of your favorite shoes. I'd recommend these to anyone! A++

Great shoe but does run about 1/2 size small. I bought these in my normal size and wish they were a little bigger. Super cute though!

OK, I personally love these shoes, but here's what you need to know. If you wear them every day like I do, they quickly stop looking new. I love the look of worn in shoes, but some people don't, so warning. That said, they're super cute. Look great with skinny jeans. I would also say these are more for style than comfort, and I definitely wouldn't work out or run in them.

I was looking for a comfortable, lightweight sneaker to wear on my trip to Disney World and these sneakers were perfect. I knew we were going to do alot of walking and I needed support for my feet. I had a stress fracture in the fall and wore New Balance sneakers while it healed but those were too heavy for the Florida heat. These sneakers were perfect, they aren't big and chunky as some sneakers can be. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on until I took them off and my feet did not ache at all. They are nice and lightweight so it made walking easy. I definitely recommend these as a summer sneaker.

Lightweight shoes and very comfortable - great for everyday wear!

This is my 4th pair of NB CW442s. I have a variety of colors & I love them all. I buy the Wide size & use my orthotics & they are very cute & comfy.

Great shoes! Very comfortable and cute. I needed white shoes for nursing school. The shoe is very narrow so it is a must to get wides even if you usually don't wear a wide.

Perfect for slim feet with a high arch. And, that's a hard combination to find.

Bought these at Christmas for 18 year old daughter who waitresses. Job requires all black shoes. Good looking, decent support (she's hard on shoes!), and thankfully, not bulky. Would recommend for those who need an all around shoes when on your feet for hours every day.

Good shoe for working as an Ortho Assistant on my feet all day. Only complaint is the leather doesn't breathe well so my feet get a little sweaty after all day.

These are great casual shoes...they run narrow so may not be suitable for women who wear wides. They were fine for my need, but they do not have much padding and the insole does not have any arch support. I bought a larger length to accommodate an orthotic... They are light weight...I wear them for Zumba classes.

A really cute shoe. Unfortunately, it's not wide enough even though I ordered the widest they had. They also felt tighter than the size 9s of other shoes. This is more for a "cute shoe", not much support and not much shoe there. Kind of thin.

I searched for these shoes on Zappos for quite sometime and couldn't find them so I ended up purchasing them at famous footwear for much cheaper, I'll point out. I do like them. They are very lightweight and comfortable, but I think I have had them for about 3 months now and they're falling apart already. I have only used them as casual shoes for normal walking around and the thread on the side seam have come out and now there's a little hole there but it can be fixed easily. My only suggestion to make is, if you will be using these for daily exercise purposes, you may want to invest in a more durable shoe because they probably won't last very long at all.

Perfect shoe, so comfy and cute with jeans, yoga pants, etc. Love them! I usually wear a 7 and had to return for a 7.5 and they are perfect!

These shoes are true to size and fit extremely well. They are very comfortable for long days (I wear them for 12 hour shifts at a hospital) and I can't believe how lightweight they are. They're pretty cute too and aren't bulky like regular tennis shoes.

I am new to Zappos, and utterly pleased. The first style of shoe I ordered did not work for me. The customer service representative was so helpful, and we picked out this pair, over the phone. They were at my home in just a couple of days, before I even mailed back the others. These new ones fit fine, and I am enjoying them. They look stylish. Sorry, I do not know how to rank them, as I am not sure that I have ever had shoes that were absolutely perfect for me, but these are terrific, certainly close to perfect. I plan to buy from Zappos whenever possible in the future.

Great little light weight shoe that required no break-in time. Cute with jeans or yoga pants. The shoe ran small. I am a true size 8 but had to get an 8.5. I have several pairs of 442, and they all run a little different in sizing.

These shoes are very comfortable, although they don't give as much support as I would have liked (minimal arch support). I have a hip issue and they have helped to alleviate it. I wanted a shoe I could wear to work that didn't look like a tennis shoe and these have worked great for that.

Great and easy shoes. No break in time, some arch support and very comfortable from the beginning I put them on. All black is great!

I love these shoes! They're lightweight and as comfy as slippers while giving my feet lots of support. I am a teacher and they're the most comfortable thing I can wear on a busy day.

They were a little too tight at the toes when I first got them, but after some serious breaking in they are now very comfortable. Highly recommend but not for immediate use.
