This shoe was comfortable right out of the gate which I love in a work out shoe. It is very lightweight and runs a little narrow which I don't mind.

For most people these shoes probably fit fine but when I inserted my orthotics in the shoes the heels became too low to keep my feet in.

I am a true size 6 and bought a size 6 which fit well. I could tell there was a lot of support in this shoe, particularly in the arch. I'm an underpronator and was trying to find shoes that would help with my gait as I've had bad shin splints from running in the past. These shoes seemed to be a good fit but I unfortunately just didn't like the style/color choices. So had to return.

These are really comfortable, but don't offer the true support of a running shoe. They are almost too flexible and light, and don't offer the support that a runner with over pronation may require.

The shoe is incredibly comfortable. I purchased them for everyday wear. I am a special ed preschool teacher and have been experiencing knee and foot pain. These have helped to cut down on the pain tremendously! I wish they had more arch support but I guess I could always get an insert if I needed one. I think the heel/toe padding is good enough for all day, everyday wear and tear though. I was also happy to find a more neutral colored shoe - as I would be wearing them to work and not just for running.

I liked the looks of these shoe but I wear a custom orthotic and it just was not deep enough to accommodate that. I gave them four stars because I really could not wear them enough to be a good judge.

I like this sneaker, but not the color. I ordered the black as well but still deciding to keep or not. My only complaint is that the laces are too long. Zappos is great! Love that I can find wide width sneaks.

These are nice comfortable running shoes. They are my first pair of New Balance, I had always worn Asics or Brooks. They have nice support without feeling too heavy. In non-running shoes, I wear 8½ regular but size up to 9½ regular in running shoes. The 9½ fits perfectly. While I do not have wide feet, some shoes run too narrow for me. These did not. Overall, I am happy with the purchase and love Zappos' easy shipping and return policies!

Light-weight and comfy. I love New Balance and have worn them for years, but out of the 4 pair I ordered, all in the same size (half size up from my normal), this was the only pair that wasn't too short. Zappos always makes returning easy.

So, I have a really hard foot to fit: wide in toe box, narrow in heel and a high instep. My old NB (model unknown, it's been so long since production) has been an 8.5D with an extra wide toebox so that I've had to wear heavy socks. This shoe, even with thin socks, feels like 1/2 size or even full-size too SMALL, for 8.5 D. I didn't try to order up-size since I wear a 7.5-8W in regular shoes, there comes a time where the arch doesn't fit right on larger shoes.

I've used NB walking shoes for a long time, so decided to try the running shoe, thinking it would have more cushion in it. These shoes tend to run a little small for a walking/running shoe. They fit like a glove, but just not as much cushion as I would like to have after my foot surgery.

Comfortable toe box for my wide feet, but very narrow from the arch back! Nice style though. Unfortunately I'll be returning them.

The shoes turned my socks blue. Outside of that, they are perfect. Comfy.

When New Balance has a winning shoe, WHY, oh, WHY do they change it? I ran the NYC Marathon in my Vazees last year. They fit like a dream. This year, they are wider and in the insole doesn't fit the sole, so there is a gap. This is in both shoes and I'm totally disappointed. Also, the sole is thinner than last year's soles. Nuts. Now I have to go shopping.

I ordered 5 different prs of shoes. I wear custom orthotics and with those inserted, these shoes felt at least a half size if not a full size too small and also seemed narrow. I really couldn't get my foot into the shoe. I have had other New Balance styles with no problems.

Very disappointed with the quality of this shoe. Got it for everyday wear. I work in an office and spend most of my time seated and hear we are in December and the bottoms of both of my shoes have separated. For a shoe company that used to pride themselves on American Made quality shoes has certainly cheapened themselves in my eyes! What a waste of money.

These shoes are at least a full size too small if not more. Surprising for New Balance!

Back of shoe is way too low. Not enough ankle support. Bottom of shoe is very hard. Immediately felt as if shins would hurt from running in them. Took them off immediately.

Very disappointed. I wear a 6 1/2 and have a wide foot. This shoe was not wide at all. And it made by foot turn inward which I did not like at all. Previously had Asics. Compared the width to that and these were a good 1/4" narrower. Need to return.

This shoe fit like a glove and had good "rocker" too it - by which I mean, shoe rocks back slightly onto heel area. So comfortable! But, alas, had to return as it just does not have enough cushion for me to run in. My ankles and knees hurt for 3 days after a 3 mile run. If NB made this exact shoe with more cushioning, I would be first in line to by it. Love they yellow color!
