Customer Reviews New Balance L555 - Flipduo

These are now my favorite pair of shoes to wear for work where I am constantly on my feet and walking around. They basically feel like you're not wearing any shoes at all, or wearing slippers. If you're looking for a sturdy running shoe with lots of support this is NOT FOR YOU. If you want lightweight, flexible, comfy shoes, this is it. In regards to sizing, lots of people recommend going up a size, and I thought about it, but I am so glad I didn't. While initially they were a little snug around the toe they were flexible enough to still be comfortable, and the opening around the ankle is so roomy that had I sized up it seems they would have fallen off my feet. Anyway the toe stretched over time and they are perfect.

LOVE these so much! I don't usually wear tennis shoes outside of exercising, but my feet were giving me a lot trouble. I picked these because I wanted something more low profile and fashionable. No regrets - some of the best shoes I've ever owned.

Amazingly comfortable shoes. The insole is like walking on a memory foam mattress. I like that they are low profile a la Saucony Bullet, but offer much more support. I walked through the city for over an hour straight on the first day wearing these shoes, and was completely comfortable. This is my first pair of New Balance, and won't be my last! Note: they do seem a bit smaller than marked; I ordered 8 and 8.5 and ended up returning the 8, even though that's my usual size.

Super comfy and stylish. Ordered half size up and it's perfect. Arch support is sufficient but not amazing.

Really really loving these shoes! They're SO COMFORTABLE! I have not tried flipping over the insert to the egg shell side, but when I'm ready the insert easily removes. So be mindful of that when you're putting them on as it does move around some. I normally wear an 8-8.5 but ordered these in a 9 based on some of the reviews. I do agree that they run a half size smaller. The 9's fit me perfect. So I would recommend sizing a half size up, especially if your foot is a little wider. As for color THESE ARE TO DIE FOR! I'm honestly so excited to wear them out and about!

Great lightweight comfortable sneaker. The toe area is quite shallow so hoping that my toes do not break through top of sneaker. Inner sole is very comfortable. Like the light feeling!

As far as street sneakers go, I'm a NB loyalist, and these are no exception -- I like being able to buy cute, stylish shoes in a wide width, and NB is basically the only brand that delivers. These fit perfectly out of the box -- haven't tried the egg-crate insole yet, but it's a neat idea.

These are so cute and comfy! I hate big fat sneakers, but want something comfy and casual to run around in. I have Ash sneakers which I love, but have no cushion at all. TheNB are low profile yet cushy, and the flip insoles are nice. I could see how flipping them over after several hours could feel great On tired feet. My sons told me my kicks were totally sick and my ten year old even tried them on since we wear the same size. He thought they were very comfortable too! Love the burgundy with navy, feels fun yet goes with jeans and my neutral wardrobe for a touch of color, without being too much.

Love this shoe! I was hesitant on the looks of the shoe, but ordered it anyway because I wanted a style to wear with capri's and skinny jeans. They are so much cuter in person! Very puffy and comfortable. However, do listen to reviews and order 1/2 size up. I wear a 4.5-5 foot, and I had to go to a size 5.5! The tongue rubs slightly but hopefully after they are broke in they will be better! Also, they are more of a grayish color than white, but I like them better!

Fantastic shoe. Very comfortable for a good day of walking, and stylish, too! Love that the sole flips. Have become a new balance convert

Second pair I have bought in a different color because I love them so much!

Perfect sneaker for me, right out of the box. I'm a barefootin' type of person, so the moderate arch support isn't an issue at all. Besides, they have an extremely comfortable gel foam insert. Cute enough to wear at work with leggings, not to mention they're excellent for doing the 6 flights of stairs (instead of riding the elevator) at work to get me out from in front of the computer. The hardest decision in choosing this particular "model" was the color. Decided on good ol' black which goes with almost everything I have. I'm not a big fan of the current neons and brights with a ton of shine and bling, so again, these are perfect for my taste. Just a touch of shine on the "N" and around the seams. I'm scouting around for another pair of NB!

Cute and comfy!!!

It fit true to size and can easily be tightened or loosened with the laces. They're not the most stylish shoes in the history of the world but they are VERY comfortable. I wore them every single day for a 14-day backpacking trip around Europe this past summer and didn't have any blisters or other issues.

I am NOT a fan of shoes without socks BUT these are comfy enough for that. No break in time either. I teach pre k so I’m always on my feet. These are the shoes I wear in the classroom despite admins requests, my feet don’t hurt, syatica doesn’t bother and they’re light for quick sudden running. Love these and seriously recommend

I can’t say enough great things about this pair of sneakers! They are my first ever NB shoes and I’m impressed at how comfortable they are, like a spa for my feet!! LOVE them. I have wide and kind of chubby feet and wear 11, they feet me PERFECTLY, they feel true to size to me. I was on my feet all day with them just out of the box and not only I was comfortable but I actually enjoyed them. Totally recommended!

Very comfortable! Walked 5 miles in these the first day out of the box with no issue.

Love these shoes. I'd been looking for this type of shoe in all one color--here they are, plus extremely comfortable.

Best shoes ever. The insole is super cushy and amazing for long days walking around. They run a little small so I would suggest sizing up half a size. I want to buy all the colors of this style. NB needs to make a men's version my hubby wants some after hearing me rave about them. Excellent buy!!

Very comfortable, once I got the right size. These are sized a half size too small. And the wide size is slightly narrower than I would have liked. It stretches a little and makes a comfy fit after just a day of wearing.

Love these shoes! The reversible insole is amazingly comfortable. After walking all day in them you can flip the insoles and it's like putting them on for the first time again!

These are fantastic shoes. They are the most comfortable sneakers I have had in years, and they are cute looking. I would say they are true to size.

Love the sleek design, somewhat retro style. Did not fit at all comfortably, so sadly will return.

Super comfortable!! I'm on my feet all day, so these are perfect for work.
