I love this shoe! It is a little less turquoise and a little more blue but still very cute. It is very light and rather comfortable although I have a wide foot in which I ordered a "Wide" width but it still seems a little snug. Maybe it will loosen up over time. Still very satisfied with this shoe though!

Hands down, most comfortable walking shoes I've ever bought. I have very wide feet, so New Balance is always a go-to for me for athletic shoes, but these are amazingly light, comfortable, and cute, bonus! I have the gray and pink pair and I'm thinking about ordering ten more so I have my own personal stock if they ever stop making them. I wear these during my daily 3 mile walk and on the treadmill (not for running, though). I've worn another maker's toning shoes and had consistent knee pain while using them. The instability was a bit too much, I suppose. I won't ever wear them again now that I have these. I don't buy into the science behind toning shoes, though psychologically, if you feel good walking in them, you may be more likely to walk more. I don't feel at all unstable or awkward walking in the New Balance shoes. I highly recommend them.

Very lightweight, comfortable shoes for doing errands. Cute to wear with yoga pants, etc.

These fit and were wearable right out of the box. They are truly the most comfortable walking shoes I've ever owned and am thinking of ordering a 2nd pair.

Great product. Comfortable shoe. Haven't really noticed any workout in my legs, but overall good shoe. Usually New Balance size 11 is short for me, but finally this was true to fit.

Best walking shoes I've owned. I have serious problems with my feet and have a difficult time finding shoes that are comfortable. I can wear these all day and forget I have them on. Going to buy more!

I love the shoes. The customer reviews were spot on. The shoes are so comfy. Most surprising was when I placed the order on a Thursday evening and received the shoes on Friday afternoon...overnight and free shipping to boot! I will definitely buy from Zappos again and again.

This shoes arrived to my home today and I am walking with this NB like in clouds. I returned few pairs already because I have plantar fasciitis, a very painful condition. This shoes are light and comfortable. I want other pair in white. Also are cute.

I am very happy with this shoe. I purchased this shoe for a Relay for Life event and just for basic walking. I will use for going to Disneyland and anytime I will be on my feet and need a basic shoe. I have used this shoe to push my daughter around our neighborhood (in a stroller and pulled with a wagon) and have had no issues. They are not heavy and they have not caused my any discomfort at all. For a basic walker these work very well.

I love these shoes! When I got them I didn't think they would do much for my feet and legs but started wearing them most of the time anyway. I stand on my feet alot and it has made a difference. One day I did not wear them and my legs ached all night so they definitely make a difference for me. I highly recommend them but do wish they had more colors available.

First of all, I must admit that I'm a New Balance devotee and that they are, hands down, my athletic shoe of choice. These are really sharp looking on and are, just as I'd hoped, a fantastic alternative to my white New Balances. I did, almost immediately, get a good-size pebble stuck in the groove on the bottom. Fortunately, I was still close to home and a butter knife very ably pried it out! May add gel arches for my higher-than-average arches; but otherwise very happy with these! Oh, and I always order a half size up with my NB's!

These running shoes are great. I love the fact that there are no seams in the toe area. They are light and comfortable. I have a very wide foot and these fit like a glove.

The perfect walking shoe. I bought this shoe because of its unique, understated color combination. Wanted something I could wear for running errands or walking dogs in my neighborhood. Now I even wear them around the house simply because they feel so amazing and I figure if they're on my feet, I'll be inspired to get outside and walk more. Very happy!

Comfortable shoe, though not quite as comfortable as my Nike Shox. I stand in these shoes for 8 hours with no complaints and they are comfortable to walk in. The size works well for my narrow foot.

I absolutely love these and please understand, I hate sneakers! They are super comfortable, look nice on, and might be the first "sneaker" to convert me from my ballet flats (okay, maybe not, but you get the idea). While they are fine for walking or going on the treadmill, I am not sure they have enough support to be used as cross trainers when you need side to side support. However, they don't profess to be cross trainers, so probably not a deal breaker for those who want a fitness walking shoe. I might actually have to buy another pair!

I have plantar fasciitis and needed new walking shoes. I have a wide foot and most local stores carry very few choices in my size. I ordered 5 different pairs of walking shoes and these are the ones I kept. They are so comfortable...I don't want to take them off! I'll be ordering a 2nd pair and I thank Zappos for making shoe shopping so quick and so easy.

Shoes fit/feel great, the sizing was same as regular New Balance shoes. My lower back is sometimes sore but usually after wearing them for full day of work. Love them.

I can't believe how great these look and feel. They are the most comfortable tennis shoes ever worn. They do feel like they are working my legs and buttocks and getting so many great reviews on them. I really like the orange and white, they go with everything. Zappos was lightening fast on shipping them. I ordered 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear with the comments on here, but end up ordering the actual size I wear and they fit great. I have wide feet but got the medium width and they fit great. You won't be disappointed in these. They are SUPER comfortable and love how they don't look like other shaper tennis shoes.

They feel very true to size. I haven't worn them on a long walking distance yet, just mainly wear them inside the house riding my exercise bike and doing walking tapes.

Very comfortable shoes and extremely light. I noticed less pain in my calves and hamstrings as soon as 20 minutes just walking. I think they do work, plus the comfort level is unbelievable.
