Customer Reviews New Balance Classics WL501

Fantastic sneakers! I have pain in my heels and usually have to wear ugly nurses shoes to work. Tried these and love them. Was on my feet for 10 hours with no pain! They look really cute too. They do run about 1/2 size small (at least for me).

I have been wearing New Balance 442's for a few years now. I saw the 501's and thought I'd give them a try, because I just couldn't find a color combination that I liked in the 442 style. Let me say that I will not go back to the 442's. I am a 501 girl now! I have already gotten many compliments on them. I like the retro style, and the bright colors, as well as the soft squishy comfortable in-sole. I could wear these every day, which is why I bought 2 pair! I would recommend these to anyone that likes the classic/old-school style tennis shoe!

These sneakers remind me of High School...in the late 1970's to early 1980's. Lightweight, comfortable...and, yes, "retro." But what's not to love? They hold up well...don't drag you down and give great support!

These are a bit roomier than the Saucony Jazz (which I often wear) but comfortable and supportive nonetheless. I like that the color is almost solid black, since so many sneakers come in only bright, crazy colors lately. These are nice for days when you have to be wearing sneakers by don't want shoes with an overpowering color contrast. They have great arch support and heel support. Quality is good...just not quite as cushiony and light as my Sauconys.

Love this shoe, unfortunately it's too narrow. I will order in wider width if you have it.

This is a great looking, comfortable shoe at an excellent price. Its goes well with jeans. The navy is a perfect neutral color. I am very happy with my purchase and will be purchasing more New Balance in the future. I highly recommend this shoe. It has excellent arch support as well. Zappos is awesome, as usual. I ordered this shoe around 3pm and had it the next afternoon. You really can't beat that kind of instant gratification.

This is a great shoe but did not fit my foot the right way.

Comfortable and cute! I use them with an orthotic insert, though, for working out (elliptical, treadmill, weight training).

These tennies are more comfortable than some sneakers that I have paid twice as much for! Highly recommend. They are good for my averagely high arch and true to size overall. I have even been jogging in them. I generally like the way Adidas fit, so I was surprised to like these so much.

Great sneakers for sporty, casual appearance, and the red really works well with blue or black jeans. Usually go with Saucony but decided to try this brand since it has the same look and the insert is able to be removed.

This product arrived really fast! I was planning to wait for a whole week but instead it just took 2-3 days to arrive! I was shocked and I really wanted to rate this company a five star because of the way they worked so fast to ship my pair of shoes here. I think that this company really cares about the way their cuastomers think them and thats a good thing because it shows the customers that even though the company has a lot of customers, they still have time to care about you and your order.

These shoes feel absolutely great! I liked them so much that I bought a second pair. They feel light but are supportive. I might buy a third pair!

Holy crap that was fast! I ordered these at 12:50pm on Thursday and received them at Noon on Friday. awesome service! They fit awesome. I wear an 8 and it fits perfectly. I can't wait to sport my new kicks tonight when I'm slinging food to old folks! Thanks Zappos!

Totally dig these slick rides. Great with dark jeans. Second pair. True fit. Fits an orthotic very well.

I got these shoes to replace my discontinued Saucony Jazz Originals in red, so my review is a bit of a comparison. I feel like these have a higher arch. I have lower arches, but they work OK for me. Overall, they have good support, but I wish there was a little more cushioning in the heel.

It's a comfortable sneaker, and isn't going to knock anybody's socks off in the style department but cute enough to wear in casual environments.

These sneakers are bright and they have received compliments. They're very comfortable and I have walked in them on long walks, which is important for me.

I get the most compliments on these shoes!! I wear them allll the time - love the orange soles.

I love this shoes, i got the black ones and awesome with everything

My wife loves them! Good quality, great color!

LOVE ZAPPOS...shoes just don't fit correctly

I love these shoes! They are extremely comfortable AND super cute. A rare find in sneakers. They also have great traction. I am sold... I will never buy Nikes again!

These are like having pillows on your feet, so comfortable, you forget you're wearing them. They do not make your feet hot like a lot of athletic shoes do. I would highly recommend these....the price is great and I received them w/n one day!! Could it have been more pleased!!
