I wear these shoes all day in my home on tile floors. They are lightweight yet supportive. Lifelong wearer of New Balance running, walking, and standing shoes!

Already my Favorite Sneakers -
These sneakers are light and comfortable. They felt like a dream on my battered old feet right out of the box. The 8W's fit perfectly with plenty of room for my orthotics and gym socks. Also, a great summer shoe without all the weight of other workout shoes I've owned.

I'm brand loyal to New Balance, and bought these knowing that I'm a perfect 8.5. Just as I predicted, they fit like my old pair! Love them! I work out 3-4 times a week and wear them them to speed walk and run outside as well as on the treadmill at the gym. They are very comfortable and supportive, and work well for my needs. While the colors of these shoes aren't exactly popping, I can't beat the price and fabulous shipping and return policy of Zappos. It was far easier for me to order them online than shop around for the best price in downtown Chicago.

This shoe is perfect. I wore it straight out of the box on a 12 hour shift. I never had to break it in. I am almost always a 9 wide, and that is what I ordered, and it was a perfect fit.

I have very difficult feet to fit. These shoes are comfortable on my feet. There isn't much arch in the shoe, but you should have room if you wear an orthopedic insert. I also pronate, and the New Balance helps stabilize my foot when I walk.

I've been a fan of New Balance for 25+ years. The quality, fit, longevity have been superior. That said, this model was not what I've come to expect. The fit was both a bit short and a bit narrow compared to previous purchases. If you are used to a roomier toe box, these are not the model to select. I'd rate these a 4, only because of the sizing discrepancy.

I'm a NB fan because I have very narrow feet. I had to send my 8.5's back for a 9 because they were too small. There needs to be more cushion because I got these for walking on vacation and my feet started hurting pretty quick. Good value for the money, though.

I ordered a 1/2 size larger in the NB WW559 and it was just right. I have a very narrow foot and the AA allowed for room in the toe box but fit good on the heel. These are good shoes to kick about in but would want something more substantial for the power walk or gym run.

Great looking shoes. I ordered a 9.5B which is what I usually wear in NB athletic shoes and had to return for a 9B, but these fit great. Not a lot of padding in the sole.

I loved the color and styling of these, but they took a while to break in (had some ankle pain from where the leather rubbed). Other than that they were good. It\'s hard to find options in size 13, after all.

I always have a difficult time finding shoes to fit my 10 1/2 size feet. At Zappos I was able to find the shoe that I wanted with ease. The arrived very quickly and were what I had expected them to be. Quality and fit were great and the speed with which I received them great. My son told me of this site and and I have thanked him for it. Thank you Zappos and keep up the good work.

My left foot is thrilled with these shoes. My right foot, not as much. I think that foot is a little bigger, so the shoe is snug across the top of my foot. With careful lacing, I can make it work, but I'll think twice about New Balance next time. Too bad; I always could count on NB. However, Zappos is exceptional, as always!

Short in length - Loved the look of these shoes. However, I wear a 10.5 Wide and ordered an 11 W. Still these are short and my athletic sock isn't that fluffy. These will have to be returned - bummer. But not going to walk in shoes that are not comfortable.

Uncomfortable. I bought the wide and it was still too narrow. and there was a leather design that pressed up against the ball of my foot. I returned them.

Felt tight; different from all my other New Balance tennis shoes.
Not much padding; I did not feel any cushion when walking.

Uncomfortable, no cushioning or support. Not recommended at all. I was looking for some walking shoes that had a little bit of color on them. Unfortunately, I kept them because I thought they would get more comfortable once I broke them in. They didn\'t, and now they are not returnable because they are broken in. Do not bother to waste your money on these shoes.

These shoes are VERY low-end shoes for New Balance. If you are a regular New-Balance customer you will probably be disappointed. You could probably pick up this same pair at a discount store. I\'m keeping them for yard work...
