These shoes are very nice looking, comfortable and light. I will say that New Balance shoes seem to have gotten smaller in the past year or so. I've worn an 8D in NB forever. I ordered these in 8 1/2 D and another model in my usual size of 8D. The 8 1/2 fit much better. The 8 was too small. But thanks to Zappos there is absolutely no problem ordering multiple items and returning the ones that don't work out!
I'd also recommend:
Clarks for a very comfortable non-athletic shoe that comes in wide widths

I found the perfect shoe for what I needed to achieve. I wanted a shoe that I could weight lift in but also do some short distance running in them from time to time. They don't have a lot of cushion which is great for weightlifting because you have more traction with the floor. These are not made for running or long distance running. They are a more all around exercise training shoe. Which is exactly what I wanted. I love them. They are a really great looking shoe.

These shoes are fantastic. I use them for Zumba. Lightweight and not heavy on the rubber grip, they hug my feet perfectly and have great inserts. Nice cushion, arch support is perfect. Zappos got it to me within a few days and in perfect condition. Very happy with the product and delivery.

I am so in love with these shoes! so light & comfy! but the problem is that it's too big for me. I'm usually 5.5 in sneakers but they are way too big.

I purchased these shoes for my 84yr old mother who has severely curled toes from arthritis & needs extra room in the toe box area. I ordered the D-wide width & they fit great. The width & streach mesh upper allows
you to have a stylish look & no need to
purchase "orthotic" shoes that are clumsy,
are not at all fashionable & cost much more.
I did have to return & reorder as I purchased the wrong size but the order & return process
is awesome. I received credit to cc within a week of my return, never having to call to see where my refund was. Unlike another on line shoe company that I had to call & was on hold for 15 mins just to get my refund.

I have two pairs of these. Excellent support for high arch and heel. I work in Fitness and am on my feet all day. These are excellent cross trainers, from treadmill trekking classes, Functional Strength and even kids PE classes.

Nike, Merrell, firm support shoes.

These are my new favorite shoes! Since receiving them I've been considering ordering them in other colors. The gel sole is so comfortable. These are one of the only pairs of shoes I've ever bought that don't have to be broken in. The flexible fabric fits to your foot but does not rub against your skin or irritate it. I would highly recommend these shoes!

The shoes are awesome. They are light weight and feel comfortable from the first day you wear them. I don't want to wear any other athletic shoes.

These are the best tennis shoes I have ever had (I'm 68 years old, so that's a long time)! This is my second pair (first pair is black), I'll probably be buying more colors, as needed. They are so comfortable that I actually keep them on in the house instead of putting on my slippers.

These are really nice. Very light weight. Breathable fabric. Love the dark navy color. My feet are narrow and I do not have to pull the laces as tight as they will go to keep them on. They fit well.

I would like to thanks Zappos for their excellent customer service. The "reps" are very nice, and the "response time" is great. I ordered a pair of New Balance WX711. They are the "coolest" shoes. I just love that they come in so many different colors. I will definitely order more colors. Even when I have returned shoes in the past, they issue fast refunds. I do hope they continue to make the WX711. Love them.

Love these sneakers. I'm wearing them sockless and they fit perfect. I have a wide foot so I ordered the wide and my toes spread out nicely.

I wore these shoes as soon as I got them and they were very comfortable although they seemed a little smaller than I expected. I'm on my feet for 12 hours so they have great support and are lightweight.

It takes me a long time to find a new athletic shoe. I am VERY picky because I suffer from plantar fasciitis. I always end up in New Balance. This shoe is so lightweight and so comfortable, I don't want to take them off. I put them on in the morning & don't take them off until I go to bed. My feet have NEVER felt better. Neither my toes or my arches hurt after a long day! I'm thinking of buying them in a few other colors now. I have the wintergreen/highlighter & love the combo. Do yourself a favor & buy a pair.

Great walking shoes! So lightweight! I wear them with orthotics. I have worn only New Balance for last 30 years. NB's size and width are very consistent. Love the color!

I have been looking for a good walking shoe, and this is really comfortable. I have had 2 hip replacements and 2 bad knees. Other shoes made the pain worse. When I tried this shoe I had no pain. I bought a half size larger and wider & they fit perfect. I would recommend this shoe.

I bought these shoes to wear in my strength training class. So far so good! They are comfy right out of the box & are very light on my feet. They provide good traction on the floor which is what I was looking for. Stability is fair for working on the bosu ball or some side to side movements. Your foot does tend to slip off the footbed a bit. Overall,this is a good shoe as long as you get used to them since they are not as solid as a traditional leather athletic shoe. Try them out around the house before venturing out in them. I did try these on at the store beforehand and found they run small. I went up half a size and that did the trick. There is ample room in the toe box and are comfy for walking too. The styling is great and I get many compliments when I wear them.

I like the look of the shoe, however it feels like more of a walking shoe rather than cross training. If you are buying shoes for a class like body pump, zumba or jazzercise, this isn't the shoe for you.

I love these New Balance sneakers. I had surgery on my foot several weeks ago and I needed a pair of shoes that would be gentle to my still slightly swollen foot, so I bought the wide width though I am normally a medium. These sneakers are exceptionally comfortable. I usually do not like synthetic material in footwear (I stay with all leather uppers and linings) because my feet get hot and sweaty, but in these sneakers my feet stay cool and dry. I got the black with the hot pink sole/trim and I have gotten several compliments on how cute they look. I am very happy with these shoes.

Let me just say, I am a nurse and I've been searching for comfortable athletic type shoes to wear for work. Well, I shall look no further. I've never been one of those nurses who likes to wear clogs (I've tried all the brands and they just make my knees and back hurt). I've tried several different styles of Nike and Adidas shoes as well as others. I knew the moment I put these on they would be perfect. I have a big and wide foot (11W) and those are hard to find (especially in a variety of colors and cute styles). Not only are these cute, they make my feet not look as large as they do in some shoes. As far as the shoe itself. The sole is super cushioned on the heel, but not so much that you feel like you are wearing platforms. The ball of the foot has less cushioning, which I appreciate (I like to keep my stride with a mid-foot strike whenever possible). This also allows the shoes to be very flexible, which I find to be a bonus. I tend to be an under pronator (walking more on the outside of my foot) and these have enough support on the outside of the foot that it encourages a neutral foot strike. The sizing is pretty perfect. My only complaint initially was that I think the wide is a little too wide. It fits my foot like an extra wide might. Honestly though, this is such a minor complaint that it turned into something I enjoy. The heel fits exactly as it should, so that leaves me with extra room in the toe box, which frankly I've learned to love. After 12+ hour shifts my toes love being able to wiggle freely! Material wise I found the fabric of the Black/Purple to be better than the material of the Navy. What I mean by that is the striped almost heather fabric of the Black/Purple has a lovely stretch to it that the material of the Navy does not. I love the Navy ones as well, but the Black/Purple have my heart.
