This is the best shoe for someone that would need a narrow width. I have bought these at least once a year for my son, as a gift. He truly doesn't wear them out. Everything that the Zappos description says about this shoe is absolutely correct. You cannot go wrong with this shoe or the excellent service that Zappos gives.

These are my favorite pair of shoes. New Balance have always been the most comfy shoes for me. I also like the accents of leather which make them a bit more upscale. Sizing, as always for New Balance, is spot on. Love them!

I use orthotic inserts, and my feet fit perfectly with the inserts present. Therefore I would say the shoe is about a half size too big, and wider than marked, as my inserts are rather wide, and lift my foot considerably. Excellent, durable, stylish shoe.

Love the shoe; love the fact it has the classic 587 look. Works great with my orthotics!

What a time saver. I hate going out looking for shoes to find the pair you really want and they don't have your size. I spent maybe 20 to 30 minutes shopping the brand and size I wanted and bingo! Done! Three days later there on my front porch waiting for me to put them on. Free Shipping. Can't do much better than that.

Of course I'm impressed with my new shoes. I've been wearing New Balance for years. What I'm really impressed with is Zappos service. With your intention to deliver the finest service in your industry, you will continue to lead the pack. Thank you!

The department store could not get this shoe in my size. My wife suggested Zappos and ordered it. It arrived in just a few days and fit perfectly. Zappos saved the day and my feet. There are not many size 12 1/2 athletic shoes available and this one is so comfortable and gives good arch support.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever bought (besides my pair of 992s). I'm a big guy with big feet and having the ability to get them extra wide is awesome. Oh, and the transaction through Zappos is the best I've come across on the web.

My husband wears these shoes to work daily and has done for years. He will not order anything else. He is on his feet from very early in the AM until late at night. Need I say more? Supreme comfort. Zappos is the best!

New Balance 993 is the bomb! After careful considerations, and seeing other guys sporting these sneakers, I finally broke down and purchased them. Let me say they are sweet-looking and very comfortable. After 7+ hours in them, I did not felt the need to kick them off. It was hard deciding which color I wanted: navy, black or the original gray. I chose the 3rd choice and they're stylish with workout pants/shorts or a pair of denim jeans. When I get another chance I'll purchase the navy ones.

Perhaps the best running shoe made. Comes in a huge variety of sizes so the perfect fit is almost assured. I use orthotics and these shoes accommodate them perfectly. Excellent support and the best part, MADE IN THE USA!

The shoes are very comfortable, and stiff enough for my weight (200). I have received compliments on the style also. I don’t run, but these are my walking around/gym shoes. I take a 4E, and my last shoes were NB 609s. They were 10 1/2, but I had to exchange these for 11s. Too bad NB can’t size all their shoes alike. Fortunately Zappos return/exchange policy makes the problem easy to deal with, and the ultra quick delivery is a wonder.

New Balance sneakers have always served me well. They’re comfortable, provide support, and are as attractive as sneakers can be! I have a wide foot, which makes NB the perfect choice - what with its 5 width choice for most sneakers. And here’s a secret I don’t share with everyone... I’m female with a size 8.5 Wide foot. I ordered these particular sneakers in a men’s size 7.5 EE. (7 works better for walking shoes, 7.5 for sneakers.) So, if you have a wide foot, are female with at least a size 8.5, check out the men’s shoes. If you’re a casual dresser, like I am, this opens a whole new shoe closet for you. Back on point... You can always trust NB and you should always shop Zappos!

I really love these shoes; the generous toe box in the EE model is precisely what my tired feet need to stand for 8 hours a day. As usual for New Balance, the bed of the shoe (where your foot lays inside) is fairly flat. For more arch support, check out Asics. Beyond that, this shoe is a dream. The pair I am wearing as I write this is probably the 5th I have owned. Worth every penny.

Love the shoes. That particular shoe is known to be super comfortable and it is. I have the same style in grey, but I like the blue ones better. Super comfy.

I bought these for my husband, Marty Greenbaum. Here is his review: I am 75 years old, an artist who walks in the city. Walking is essential to my well-being. I threw out my old sneakers when my wife bought these New Balance ones for me. They're comfortable! I'm ordering another pair.

I like these shoes so much that I actually bought two pairs. I bought the 993 originally in black and I liked them so much I bought a second in navy! I cant compliment this shoe any more. On top of it all, I love that it's made in the USA!

I got these shoes last week thinking that they were the same shoes that I have been buying for years, MR992. This shoe exceeds my expectations! I think the best comfort shoe I've ever owned. Believe me, my feet are so bad off I probably could get a handicap sticker.

A great shoe with excellent cushioning. When I was in college I used to sell the previous models in this series more to older folks who were experiencing pain in their knees or other joints, than to runners. These 'older' folks wore them as their everyday or casual shoes for their amazing cushioning and more subdued colors/style. Selling a pair of these virtually guaranteed making a repeat customer; some 6 months or year later they would come back holding their old pair and say, "I'd like another pair exactly like these." Now fast forward some 15 years of hard miles and I am one of these 'older' folks. The model changes yearly, and has seen many technological improvements over the years, but you can depend on fit staying true year after year.

I have 4 or 5 pair of New Balance model 911s. I bought them over the years because they fit. I have large, narrow, feet and New Balance makes one of the very few shoes that actually come in a length and width that fit. I was rather upset to find out that the 911s were not available any longer. The MR993 appears to be an almost exact replacement. A little expensive but worth the money, a good shoe.

None, I would stay with New Balance.

Shoes are great. Comfortable right out of the box. Extra wide turned out to be wide enough for my very wide feet.

I have NEVER had anything shipped so quickly before. The shoes, made in the USA, are very nice. Well constructed and very comfortable. I will buy from Zappos again!
