Customer Reviews New Balance Classics WL515v1

These are MUCH cuter in person than I expected! I love the hint of sparkle! I have wide feet with high arches and have a difficult time finding shoes that are comfortable, supportive and fit properly. These do the trick, and in fact I'd say they're a little on the roomy side. So, if you have wide feet, these are awesome! These are little bit less "chunky" than other New Balance Classic styles, which I like. I'd say a tiny bit of support is sacrificed, but they're still extremely comfortable, cute, and a great everyday sneaker. My only real complaint is that the tongue is really puffy and huge -- even with the loop to "tie down" the tongue with the laces, it's prominent and a little awkward. A pet peeve of mine is having the tongue of my sneakers refuse to stay hidden under my jeans, and that is something that happens A LOT with these. I'm not sure why they decided to make the tongue so gigantic when overall these are much more streamlined New Balance Classics. It's not enough to make me return them, but it's a little bit frustrating.

These are great looking shoes, but run a little small in my opinion! Go a half size up - the toe box seems short/small.

THESE SHOES FEEL GREAT BUT IF YOU NEED ARCH SUPPORT YOU NEED TO SWAP OUT WITH YOUR OWN ORTHOTICS. I REPLACE THE INSERTS THAT CAME WITH THE SHOE WITH MY VIONIC INSERTS AND NOW THEY ARE PERFECT!

Really cute shoe, but I couldn’t find the right size. Not good for someone who needs a wide toe box. The front is cut a little short and narrow, and my big toe hit the top of the shoe in my standard size of 7.5. I exchanged for an 8, and the shoe overall was far too roomy, yet my big toe still hit the top of the shoe. I’m so bummed because these shoes look great on and are very stylish and not clunky. I’m actually considering ordering a 7.5 again to see if I maybe received a defective pair since the fit was perfect and comfortable everywhere other than the toe box. I would say the heel runs narrow, which was perfect for me because I have a narrow heel. Arch support isn’t fantastic, but it’s not as minimal as a flatter shoe like Superga.

There is little to no arch support. The shoe has sparkles, although light sparkles, it still has sparkles. I was looking for plain black

I love these shoes. I bought them in size 8.5 and wish they have my perfect size 8. This was my first purchase of wide fit shoes and I am glad I didn't size down. I went ahead with 1/2 size up since it was the only size left. Still, I more than get by despite them being slightly bigger. They are beautifully simple and surprisingly comfortable. They even go well with pretty dresses for a slightly smart look and I get complimented every single time. I hope they are also as durable as they feel because I would like them to last for a long time.

In color description it was called black/black, but it nowhere stated that it has blue sparkles on it. I wasn’t ready for that. Other then that looks like a quality shoe.

Nice shoes. The burgundy fits into my wardrobe. They are soft, so I alternate with firmer shoes. Size was perfect.

I have worn New Balance for a number of years. These did not disappoint!

They are so comfortable and they look sharp. I am so happy that I got them.

I first ordered a size 7, as I'm a true 7 (which says EU 37), but I sized down to a 6, which is slighly smaller than I normally would get, but they were out of a 6.5. I feel like they run big in general, but the 6 fit fine :)

I ordered size 8 / wide in gray. My dress shoes sizes are between 61/2 to 7 and athletic shoes are between 8 to 81/2 depends on brands. I don’t think I’m necessary wide in width, but by looking at the shoes pictures, I decided to order wide in width for this style. I’m glad I did. I chose the shoes color in gray. It’s a very cute color and it goes with everything. Over all, I’m very happy with a comfort, practical simple style and sizing with the shoes. I’m also very picky with a sawing. The shoes are well made.

I've had a hankering for a pair of silver athletic shoes for a few months now. New Balance has been my go-to because they offer a good variety of WW shoes, which I need to fit feet that swell due to a medical condition. These didn't come in a WW, so I took a chance with the W. My bad, perhaps owing in part to a toe box that is narrower than the rest of the shoe, so they're going back. I can't really evaluate their comfort or arch support because I can't wear them, but they are really cute and would spice up a pair of jeans nicely. Note that my first pair of New Balance were purchased in a store where my foot was sized, and I was sold a pair one full size up. I have continued to order a full size up since, and it's never failed me.

I like the look of these shoes but not the fit. The tongue on these shoes felt too thick which made the shoes very uncomfortable overall. Very disappointing as I really do like the overall look of the shoes.

I wanted to love these shoes because the style with the gold glitter is so fresh and fun, but these were not comfortable for me at all. The shoe feels stiff and the front part of the upper dug into the top of my foot. I thought maybe wearing them a couple of times to work would break them in but it didn’t help. These are sadly being returned.

I have worn New Balance shoes before and loved them. Was very excited about this pair for multiple reasons. The Black and Gold colors are perfect for Hawkeye Games and I loved the style. When I took them out of the box it was the strangest thing. These tennis shoes felt like work boots! Super Cute but Super Stiff! I read most of the reviews and several mentioned how soft theirs were. NOT these. So, I put these cuties on my feet inside the house, and walked around, thinking maybe it was because the temperatures here in Iowa were cold at the time they are riding in the UPS truck. Then sitting in my garage for a couple hours. Not sure but I do believe they are a half size too small and pretty sure they are going back. I will try one more time. These must be that random pair that feel like bricks... lemons?

Super cute but ridiculously squeaky!!! I wanted to keep these because the colors are beautiful but they are soooo squeaky, like embarrassingly so.

I own several of this shoe. Comfortable and stylish

Thank You! It is Perfect

Great looking shoes, but run a little small in my opinion. Not good for someone who needs a wide toe box. But feel it become quite good after some days of walking. But by the way they are so comfortable, as so really stylish! Great buy!

Felt half size smaller but really nice and comfortable

Perfect!

As always I am pleased with these New Balance tennis shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box so I wore them to go walking.

Overall comfort and love the style and The color pops !

These are my favorite “fashion” sneakers. They provide support cushion so my feet don’t hurt and look great!! I wouldn’t use them to work out. Not enough stability. They are a little wider but did not feel to wise. Love these so much!
