Great shoe for every day. Has been great for my swollen, pregnant feet. And, I even get get compliments on the shoes. Not a running shoe.

These are so pretty! However, I am a true size 5 in women, & these were just too long for me. I am so sad to return. Because they are sooo soft inside, my foot slid around/too much give.

Great color for summer! As always, I've found that with this style New Balance shoes I need to order up one half size.

I'm a size 8 wide and the size 8 regular fit me in these. I also ordered 8.5W just in case but they were an inch too long. However, I was able to replace the insole with a more arch supportive one in the 8.5W whereas I was not able to do that in the 8's. No problem though, because the narrowness of the shoe hits me at the arch which makes it a little supportive. Pretty comfortable but probably wouldn't be able to do a full day of walking.

These are my first NB shoes and I love them! I purchased the Deep Jewel and the color is lovely. I wear them almost every day. The sole padding is amazing - it adds a little spring to my step!

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I love the color, but it would not appeal to everyone. I did order them a full size larger than my usual shoe size based on other reviews I read here and the fit was perfect.

Comfy, cute shoes! I have chicken legs but these aren't "chunky" and don't make me look like I have huge feet! I usually wear an 8 and an 8 in these fit great!

Ordered these for a trip I was taking. Very cute to add a new style sneaker to my wardrobe, that isn't a gym sneaker. These run pretty narrow, and a little small (as most sneakers do). I have a narrow foot, so there wasn't any concern for me. Love the memory foam insoles! Super squishy for your feet! Wouldn't recommend for the gym, but great for travel and running errands. I'm typically an 8, but ordered 8.5 based on reviews and they are perfect!

This would be a VERY comfortable shoe if I can figure out what size I need. The insoles are extremely cushy, and the soles are very flexible. I ordered a half size larger than usual because other reviews said they run small. They are still a bit too short for me, and seem narrower than usual for a B width.

These are great casual/walking shoes. They are extremely lightweight and low profile. The insole can be reversed to a knubby massage pods side, but I have not done so. I did size up half a size, from 7 (street shoe) to 7½, which is what I do for running shoes as well. Zappos has the best customer service, hands down!

I absolutely love these! I found them mostly true to size and selected the larger of the sizes I tend to wear. I did have to slip my finger in to smooth out the tongue on the top of my foot, but once I did that the fit was fine. I bought these for a weekend in San Francisco and walked in them for hours and hours every day. I was so grateful I had chosen these over some more uncomfortable shoes I had brought. The soles are so squishy and comfortable.They look really cute with leggings as a mom on the go kind of look too.

This shoe is really comfortable! The "flip" is an interesting idea although I found the main side perfectly comfortable for me and my high arches. The shoe does seem to run narrow actually feels good for me because it gives more support to my arch where I don't actually have to wear my insert. Very happy and it's stylish, too!

Agree with the other reviews that these are very cute but run very small. I'm usually an 8 and ordered both an 8.5 and 9 and am keeping the 9 for a little more room in the toes.

These sneakers are super comfortable. I don't normally wear sneakers so I can't compare sizes but when I wear flats I usually wear a 7.5. I figured that sneakers should fit a little larger and after reading that they fit snugly, I ordered an 8.5. They fit perfectly! The look is so classic and cool, I highly recommend these to anyone.

Both pairs of my new NB shoes are absolutely the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. Besides they are beautiful. The downside is that they have spoiled me for any other brand or style. Thank you, New Balance. And thank you, Zappos!

I bought these to wear on the weekend when I'm running errands and going to soccer games, etc. They fit the bill perfectly. Very comfy and cute. Just what I was hoping for.

Love the look of these sneakers, however I am a size 10 and they are very snug..even without socks. I will send back and go half size up!

I was hesitant to follow others advice about this show running small. I should have ordered a half size up the first time around. I am a solid 10 and needed a 10.5. Otherwise, really like the style and comfort. Plan to use for traveling in Europe.

Soft top is the key to these comfortable brushed suede walking shoes. They are low profile so they can compliment a casual Jean outfit. They do run a bit small, I sized up a half size. I really like the soft bluish grey color a nice change from loud neon. The inter sole has a nice cushion feel but don't look for much in arch support as they are rather flat. I didn't care for the feel of flipping the sole over to the nubby side, I didn't think it helped with comfort.

I bought my normal tennis and shoe size and these ones fit a little snug, I know once I break them in they will be perfect -- very comfy and they are super cute and slim looking in person

Prefect shoe for sport or travel. Extremely comfortable and light. Love how the color matches everything! Ordered this shoe in 2 colors. So far the most comfortable tennis show I've ever purchased. Highly recommend!

These are beauties but run super small. I am returning and contemplating ordering a half size and full size up and returning whichever does not work.

I bought a pair of black ones (all black except the outsole cushion). They are basically casual sneakers. Unless you have been running and walking for a while, these shoes would not offer enough support to lessen tired feet. However, they are light weight and slim looking (easy for travel). The shallower upper/vamp makes the shoe feminine. The cushion insole feels nice. The black color seems to run half a size smaller.
