Really nice shoes, comfortable. The non skid soles were not the reason I bought them, but are a plus.

I love my New Balance 512 shoes. I would recommend these shoes for hospital workers like myself who are on their feet long hours at a time. They provide support yet are comfortable. My order was processed super fast and I received the shoes the next day! Free shipping is always great.

Very comfortable shoe. Only problem, was my fault. I should have ordered a shoe with a mesh top.

These shoes are exactly what I needed for nursing school. They are true to size. I've only been wearing them a week and not yet on clinical rotations so I'm not sure how they will do after long work hours. But I'm very happy with my Zappos purchase.

Nice looking shoe and very light but not as comfortable as I had hoped. I need a little more softness but with a gel insole, these will work if I don't wear them all day.

I didn't care for the squishing sound that the sole of this shoe makes. The arch also did not fit my foot. Other than that, it was a decent pair of shoes. It was not my first or second choice but Zappo is really low on my size in black walking shoes.

Let me start by saying, the only reason I bought these all white shoes was because it was required by my work. I usually love New Balance, but I don't think these are all that great. These are a good fit, but at the end of the day, my feet and legs ache.

I purchased these walking shoes for my daughter who is on her feet all day at a car dealership. She just loves them and says her feet never get sore or tired. My Podiatrist recommends New Balance to all his many patients. Your service is unequaled. Thank you.

I got these for working at a restaurant. The non slip works well and the shoes are comfortable for long shifts though I did add an insert. They are much more stylish than other non slip shoes and run true to size!

Very comfortable. Be sure you order a half size larger than you normally wear. I'm really happy with them.

I am a waitress and needed a sneaker all black; they have a skid resistant sole which not only helps with my job but has been great in the rain and ice. Comfortable to wear for long period of times.

These New Balance shoes offer comfort and very good arch support. There is plenty of toe room. They are my "work shoes". I am a nurse and am on my feet most of the time. They are true to my normal size. Good price, too! Zappos is my "go to" shoe store. I will always look to Zappos first when I am looking for shoes! :-)

These are good shoes. They are great for working on slippery floors, and they have decent support. The negative is that they are a full size smaller than normal. Zappos sent me a replacement pair very quickly, so it is all good now.

Great shoes, I did add some inserts and made the long hours on my feet a little better. But the no slip is great for all the tile I walk on!

Great no slip shoes. Very comfortable for hours on my feet. Not very stylish, but that's not why I bought them. I am usually a size 11 in New Balance, but the 11 was too large, the 10.5 is perfect and Zappos sent the new size quickly, as usual.

I work in the food industry, and my uniform requires black non-slip shoes. These shoes fit the dress code, and are comfortable on my feet for 5hour and 8hour shifts! I was worried the sizes ran small, so I ordered my usual size and a size larger. But they don't seem to run large at all. I was also able to return the larger size for free, and kept the usual shoe size. They feel perfect!

I never bought anything from Zappos until these sneakers. I have a hard time with shoes whether they are sneakers or other shoes and am fearful of trying shoes without putting them on first but when I saw that I could buy and return without any additional charges I went for it. I bought these New Balance sneakers size 10.5 medium and they came yesterday. I wore them all day today and they fit wonderfully although I put my orthotics in them. I am a happy camper and will try to get other items from this seller.

First time shopping with Zappos, received shoes within days of order, very happy with entire experience. Will be shopping with Zappos again in the future.

This is my second pair of these shoes. I am in Culinary School and work in a kitchen and these fit with my custom orthotics. I was told to order a half size bigger to accommodate the inserts, but they feel fine.

Love these! Comfortable right out of the box and I rarely ever say that about shoes! I have bunions and these still worked great for me. I did size up to a 9 though when I usually wear an 8 1/2. I can put another insert in if I need to by sizing up.

Shoe was supposed to have a special insert for extra cushioning. It did not. It has a very thin liner. Shoe was also supposed to be leather. Only the toe tip area was leather. Other than the lack of cushioning, the shoe fit well. I need the cushioning so I am returning the shoes.

I'm glad I paid attention to other reviews and ordered this shoe a half size larger than I normally wear in New Balance and other shoes. The sole is very slip resistant for the restaurant work that I do. Overall, I'm very pleased with the shoe, although I do wish the sole had more cushion to it for comfort since I'm on my feet all day.

I ordered these sneakers to use as a swimming official. The non-slip bottoms are perfect for wet surfaces. They also meet the "all white" requirement. So far I have only worn them a few hours at a time but hope they are as comfortable after a 10 hour day. I ordered these in a Wide as I find I need the extra width in a New Balance shoe. My orthotics fit well under the inside lining and provide the arch support I need. I don't feel there would be a great amount of support as is.

I'm a registered nurse on a busy med-surg floor, and these are my shoes. I wore these all throughout nursing school, and continue to wear them (though a new pair) on the job. My feet never hurt, even after 12+ hours on the floor, and the all-leather composition is great for preventing bodily fluids from getting to my socks. I pity those who wear shoes with mesh panels. You really can't go wrong with these New Balance.
