Customer Reviews New Balance Classics CW442

I am thrilled with this shoe. It is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. The shoe fits true to size, so if you plan on wearing "heavy" socks, order 1/2 size larger.

Really super comfortable shoes. Easy to put on and wear. They're perfect for the gym where I don't do a lot of hard impact stuff, but spinning and Jacob's ladder and weights.

These are a great pair of sneakers for walking around, nothing too high impact. I actually bought them because I was looking for "dainty" sneakers I could wear with skirts on my commute to work. I need arch support and my flip flops and flats were starting to wreak havoc on my feet. Frankly I love the comfort of sneakers as well. These shoes don't have much arch support so I bought some arch inserts to go with them. I usually wear a 7.5 but these in 8 fit me well, maybe I had to go bigger because of the arch inserts. I get a lot of compliments on these sneakers, even when I walk into my office wearing them with a skirt or dress! They are also cute for weekend walking around, I recommend them as long as you don't use them for high impact activities.

Loved these shoes. Perfect to wear casually. Not a lot of support but for everyday when your walking is minimal they are the perfect tennis shoe.

Love them! They are comfy but I still can't make it through a 11 hour day in them. Also they get worn out quickly. On the bright side they are cute and don't look awkward with skinny jeans!

I am on my feet for over 13 hours a day. I used to wear flat dress shoes to work, but after my pinkie toes started feeling numb, I decided healthy feet were more important than style and bought these. These are not chic by any means, but they are a bit better than the typical boxy, clunky nursing shoe. They have a nice contoured, slim shape and provide good support for my foot, and they don't look TOO ridiculous with the dress pants I am required to wear.

These are my all time favorite shoes! They are so versatile. I have had four pairs of these, I wear them all the time. I have been wearing them for many years, they never go out of style.

I love these shoes, I have them in gray too. They are so comfortable and look great with jeans. I did have to order a size bigger than I normally wear.

I did not expect these to be so comfortable! Lightweight, great for walking. They also look very cute. A great buy.

I LOVE these! I got two pairs and they work beautifully! I used to have to buy men's shoes to get the width I needed for my feet, but these shoes (10 W) were perfect. I was able to wear them with my inserts no problem. The lacing goes past were most shoes pinch. By having that, the shoes have a lot more flexibility with foot width. Again, I LOVE these! My only complaint is that they need to make more colors. Maybe a vibrant canary yellow or cobalt blue...

The usual great New Balance shoe. Like that it's solid black. It's perfect for my bike & treadmill workouts.

These shoes are great! I am a vet tech and on my feet all day and I have no pain when I am finished working like I have with other types of shoes. I have very high arches and did not even need to add any extra arch support with these shoes. They are great looking and make your feet look smaller and more narrow. This will be my second pair. I am getting black this time. Before I had white and for anyone getting the white they are easy to clean always came out of the washer looking new after a little bleach. These shoes will last you years! They are well worth the price!

These are very cute. I have the grey pair. They are not my main every day sneakers. But they are good for casual wear.

I needed white shoes for a medical program I am currently enrolled in, and these were the only ones I found that weren't ugly. They have a sleek, low profile design so they make my size 11 feet look smaller, which is quite amazing for a white shoe! I feel the comfort level is great for a tennis shoe, but I'm not sure how they would compare to the average nursing shoe.

Exactly what I want! Perfect for traveling. Lightweight to carry and wear. Stylish and doesn't look just like another pair of sneakers. Can dress with causal or even with a dress. Only thing is, it seems 1/2 size smaller. I can still wear thin socks but may have to exchange for 1/2 size bigger if I want to wear sport socks.

I first bought these shoes 442 in a store. Then ordered 2 more pair. So pleased with fit, feel and looks. I normally wear a 11A but these 11 B fit perfect. And the fast shipping amazed me! Thanks!

I love these shoes! There are extremely comfortable and fit great! I ordered the wide size, and they fit perfectly and provide good support.

I think these run small. I ordered my normal size, and my toe was bumping part of the end of the shoe. The removable insole make this a cute sneaker for those of us who have orthotics. I thought they were cute, loved the color, and they seem well made for the price.

These are a cute looking trainer that are comfortable at least on the underside of the foot. I noticed that if I try and walk in them without socks the top of the shoe has a rough part (the underside of where the laces are) that irritates the top of my foot. May not be the same for everyone.

After reading reviews how this shoe tends to run narrow, I decided to order wide width. The widest part of the shoe seems to be around the ankle, but it's not a big deal for me. I think I could have gotten away with ordering regular width and been fine as they tend to stretch slightly after wear. Have been happy with my purchase so far!

These are not ultra supportive shoes to do mega walking, running, or aerobics in. But they are super cute, retro looking shoes that are actually quite comfortable for running errands and doing light walking. They are extremely lightweight, but don't have much arch support at all. I was also hoping for a darker gray color than the light gray that showed up on my doorstep. But once I put on my low cut socks, and popped my Orthaheel orthotics inside, I was happily surprised. I don't see these taking on heavy wear and tear by any means, but they are cute and comfortable for everyday light wear. I am a very solid size 9, and am so glad I followed prior reviews and ordered a 9.5. Had I ordered my regular size, I'm convinced they would have been too short. In terms of Width, I am a borderline medium to wide, and the medium worked just fine for me. Had I purchased a wide, they would have been way too large in the heel cup. All in all, I'd buy them again.

I've worn these shoes for years and finally replaced them. This pair are extremely tight all around, even on my narrow feet. I'd order up next time.

I like my sneakers. They are perfect to wear with my work entire when I go to work. Because I walk a lot for my job, it doesn't have enough arch support for me. (I have flat feet.) But I put in my own supports and it is super comfortable. I think these sneakers are really cute and lightweight and I am very happy with my purchase.
