Customer Reviews New Balance WX20

I know New Balance tends to run short, but these were smaller than even the other NB shoes I've bought (and I've bought a bunch). I had to return them for the next half-size bigger (a full size larger than any other brand of shoe I buy). Other than that, they're exactly what I wanted.

I am usually a size 5 but I needed a size 5.5 in this style. I was not looking for arch support but a flatter fit with a minimal feel and this shoe is great!

These shoes have only been ran in twice, so I do not know what the long term wear/tear is going to be. I will tell you that they 'seem' small, but actually are not; they just fit my foot snugly. Both times I ran in them I was amazed at how fast I was able to go! They truly do feel like you don't have shoes on; they're very light! Depending on how durable they will be, I would definitely purchase these again.

Love these shoes. Super comfortable so I wear them every day. They do run a bit short so I ordered the next half size up. Would definitely buy these again.

Love, love, love these shoes! I bought a pair from a local retailer and back to buy a second pair here while they still make this style. I am so happy to find some workout/walking/running shoes that don't have any bands or stitching across the toe box to press on my poor knobby feet! I was hoping to get white, but alas they are out in my size, so I will get another black pair for now. I wear them to the gym, kickboxing, walking, running, anywhere!

I love these shoes and how easy it was to order from Zappos.com that I order two more in different colors. The shipping was incredible as I received them with in a few days of ordering. Thank you Zappos.com!

This is my first try at a minimalist shoe and I'm not sure I like it. I use it for weight lifting 3 times a week. The style is great. I had to send back my first pair as they were too big. The half size smaller is perfect.

I just have a comment on size, since I have not really used them, just tried them on inside. I find them to be true to size, when compared to running shoe brands like Nike and Saucony. I normally use size 10 (men's size) in running shoes (Kinvara, Nike Free) and I got these in (women's size) 12(2E). I have plenty of room in front of my big toe, but not too much along the side, so I think 11½ would be too small. I have slightly wide feet.

I bought these because they were lightweight and were wide in the toes, and I thought they'd be good for zumba-type classes. I wouldn't recommend them for that. They feel very flat, have very little cushioning in the sole, and no arch support. I usually am very happy with New Balance, but this style wasn't for me.

I thought these shoes looked much better online than in person. They're very light weight and I wasn't expecting the netted outside. They weren't uncomfortable, but they didn't give me much support. Also, they ran small, so I'd probly need to get a full size larger.

I recently ordered these because I wanted a minimalist shoe but returned them. I wore them around the house for a day or so, no running or exercising to get a feel for them. After some time I noticed that the material that is near my left front toe peeled away from the shoe. I say peeled because it is not stitched, I was disappointed that New Balance made a shoe that was not durable. Maybe I just got a bad one. So I instead ordered Inov-8, and I am extremely happy with them.

I am an avid weight trainer, and these shoes are amazing. Wearing them really is like being barefoot -- my posture is much better than it was in my Nike Frees. I bought my usual sneaker size. I have somewhat wide feet and high arches. After the first wear, I thought they were too small (short/narrow in the toe), but I laced them up all the way to pull them back on my foot, and they have since stretched a bit in the toe box. Perfect fit.

These shoes are wonderful for weight training. I've noticed a huge difference in my stability. I'll never go back to regular running shoes again. I tried on the Nike shoes but they felt somewhat tight near the front of my foot. The New Balance fit my feet well. They are very comfortable and the color is fun.

I have been using these shoes for a while now and they are great for the gym. They are light weight, very breatheable and plenty of room in the toe. I have rather wide feet and these fit my feet great!

This is the second pair that I bought because I love them so much! I am a CrossFit trainer and wanted minimalist shoes. I have never been happier, particularly because I have wide feet and the sole of these shoes provides a good base while not compromising on the minimalist concept. I bought the medium width shoe, ordered half a size up; my first pair was not available in wide, so I did not bother with trying it with the second pair.

Great minimalist shoe! I have a narrow foot and was looking to NB for a narrow crosstrainer, since they make narrow runners. While they don't come in narrow, the regular width is pretty narrow, perfect for me! I find Nike crosstrainers too wide and I often slide from side to side inside them, creating calluses/blisters, even when laced as tight as they can go. These NB fit my narrower foot perfectly!

Just received this shoes and worked out in them already... love them. Extremely lightweight, but without sacrificing support. I usually wear an 8.5 or 9 and ordered 9s here, and they fit well without much extra room in the toe.

Overall, very nice. I'm usually a 9.5W, but I ordered a 1/2 size up, just in case. Glad I did, because my toes reach all the way to the toe of the shoe. Width is true to size though.

I found them a bit too short and the shape of the toe area odd. The best I can describe it, they are shaped for a foot who's ball and toes angle in. My foot is pretty straight so I hit the edges in all the wrong places.

New Balance shoes have gotten wider over the years, which makes me crazy. I used to be able to count on 10.5B fitting without trying on, but lately they are so wide they don't work. I bought these mainly because reviews said they ran a little tight. They are still wider than previous years' models, but not as bad as usual. As "minimalist" shoes, they are very light and good for aerobics if you do not need a lot of support. Nothing really looks cute in a 10.5 but they aren't bad looking.

I read that these ran small, so I bought a half size bigger than normal and they fit perfectly. They are comfortable and very good for avid walking. I tend to get shin splints and I haven't had them since wearing these sneakers regularly.

I think the New Balance WX20's are good but I prefer the comfort of the New Balance WW10 's. The WX20 runs short. I bought up 1/2 size and I think I could have bought up one whole size.

The shoes are a bit narrow for my liking (even in Wide width) but still fit. I have a high arch/instep and use orthotics and these work in these shoes! They're comfy for what they are (no support but they're supposed to be that way!). I use them for the gym and they work just fine.

These shoes are super cute (I got the black/white with purple accent) and fit really well (I wear a 10 street size, so I ordered a 10.5) - I thought they were going to be okay for cardio/aerobics but the label says otherwise. The pair I received had a gouge/tear in them as well, so I was going to have to return them anyway. I ordered on Sunday night and got them today, Monday. Wow! Zappos is amazing!

I was looking for a shoe for my jazzercise/zumba class. I've got lots of foot/knee problems and my crossfits don't work. Unfortunately, as much as I love the lightness of this shoe, I can put my orthotics and without them, the shoe feels to flat.
