Customer Reviews New Balance Classics WL696v1

I am over 65 and although I think young people look cute in the new styles, I don't look like that! I have a narrow size 7.5...hard to find a runaround shoe that isn't too wide or splashy and jazzed up colors. I put a thin pad inside and walk all over in them. They are great!

Unfortunately had to return this shoe. It was uncomfortable in the toe box. Need to order half size up. Good styling.

Love these shoes. I bought them looking for something a little more low profile than the 574 and needed something with a wider toebox and these did not disappoint. They're extremely comfortable as you would expect from New Balance originals, and they also look great, too. I normally wear a size 10 in women's casual shoes but returned them for a 9.5, which fits much better. Considering buying another color.

I have the Husk Angora NB Classic WL696v1, and I love them. I have to wear orthotics, and they work great with this shoe. I am over 80 and I don't consider it flashy. I will probably be ordering these again.

Just got these today. Very disappointed. First, they are VERY stiff. Second, the length feels okay but the width is extremely small could barely get my feet into them and I have small thin feet. I will be returning them. Haven't decided if I'm going to order a size up (afraid they will be too long); order wide width, or try the other style WL574v2. Also it has a "glittery" look to some of the material. Not a fan of that.

I bought this shoe in pigment/navy. Fits well in my normal size. Really cute low profile sneaker. Arch support seems ok, but not sure it’ll provide great support for long term wear.

I am a size 8 and these are my first pair of new balance. I’d like to say that on the first wear, they are pretty comfortable. I expected the insoles to be a little bit softer but overall it was stylish with an unexpected alligator type on the shoe shown in the picture, and comfortable for walking.

Great shoes. I wish they had more color options

Love these! I have narrow feet and these work great.

Great shoe. Light weight and comfortable.

Pretty in Pink! Super cute and comfortable at the same time. That's a win in my book.

These are really great looking and comfortable shoes. I'd highly recommend them...just make sure that Zappos sends you the actual color you ordered. So bummed I didn't get the right pair the first time!
