These are comfortable enough to wear with my orthotics. I like the matte finish. Finally NB made a sneaker with low contrast for a sleeker look! The leopard print is a fun touch.

I absolutely love these sneakers! They are the most comfortable shoes in my closet, with tons of support and are cute enough to wear running errands.

Placed my order on Sunday night and received Tuesday morning! Gotta love Zappos! This is my second pair of New Balance and I just love it as much as my 928! It is very light, comfortable and stylish.

I absolutely love these shoes! They are so stylish and comfortable, especially considering that whole athletic look is in right now. I have worn them to both work and an amusement park, and they have worked well for both. My feet were not sore after being on them all day in both settings, and I still looked great!

These shoes are fine. Look good, true to size, moderate arch support, but the heel feels a little 'hard.' I bought them to wear for being on my feet all day, and my feet are fine, except bit tired at the heel. They turn out to be waterproof for the rain I was caught in last week!

I love these sneakers! They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I have the purple ones, which I love. I just ordered the black ones, but was a little disappointed to see that they're more gray than black - I think I may send back.

These are amazing! I was looking for a "throwback" New Balance style and just couldn't resist the red and leopard. The red is really vibrant. They look incredibly clean and crisp. I haven't worked out in them yet, but they may become just a more casual sneaker for me.

I bought these in red a few weeks ago and love them. I wear them to work and even my coworkers love them. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. The service at Zappos exceeds my expectations.

These shoes are very stylish and the blue is very vibrant! Fit is true to size. I was disappointed that the NB logo on one of the tongues was rubbed or peeled off right out of the box.

The color is actually dark gray, not black like shown in the picture. I prefer the dark gray actually so it's perfect for me. Love the color and leopard mix.

I am an exact size 10.5 so i bought the 11 and put the pressure resistant NB insert inside. Very nice. I have completely flat, wide feet with plantar fasciitis as well. I have resigned to be in pain while walking, but these are a nice break from that. I intend to wear these in Paris later this year so I wanted something sedate yet fashion forward along the athleisure trend. I wasn't willing to spend beaucoup bucks for Stella Mccartney's or others. I think these fit the bill nicely. I've worn them to work so far, mind you I'm not just a jeans and t-shirt gal... I've paired them with boot cuts, skinnies and plan on wearing them with some shift dresses as well... so far I like!

Loved the way these shoes looked. They fit perfectly except were way too big in the heel, so I'll have to send back. A smaller size would just make them too tight in the toe.

I ordered these in the black, which is really more of a very dark grey due to the matte finish. I found the material quite stiff, and when I walked, the seam at the bottom of the laces/tongue folded and dug into the top of my toes. I wasn't confident that would break in over time so I returned them. Otherwise they seemed to fit. I have super high arches/insteps, narrow heels, and mild hammertoes. I was able to replace the removable insole with my own orthotics. I can't really comment on the shoe's built in arch support since I only tried them on with my orthotics. I ordered my usual size in athletic shoes (8) and they seemed true to size.

This shoe is cute; it has sass. That said, the material is stiff and the heel is too wide. Even with reconfiguring the laces, I could not get the heel to fit comfortably in the shoe.

Fun shoes, but with my wider feet, they were a bit snug at first. They fit pretty well after a few wears. I bought them for "game day" shoes and they're perfect for that. They're fun shoes!

Cute sneaker but material is stiff and has plastic feel to it. It's definitely not a shoe I would wear for long period of time or for walking or running.

These tennis shoes are the perfect blend of comfort and style. I worn them non stop through Europe for 2 weeks straight. My only complaint is that if your feet get hot these are not the shoes for you. They don't breathe at all which results in really hot feet.

These shoes have a great color! Unfortunately, it was my first time trying this type of NB, and they looked very big on my size 11 feet.

These sneakers were awful! Do not buy them! I'm not even sure they can be called a sneaker they are that uncomfortable. I have dress shoes that were more comfortable than these shoes. I did not buy them for working out. I bought them simply because of the style, but they are still supposed to be a sneaker. The foot bed was as hard as a rock and there was no arch support at all. For what they did at least fit by size 12M foot, but they on the next truck back today!
