Saw in store but didn't have my size. I find if fits true to size. I wear a 5.5 in dress shoes but size up to 6 sometimes 6.5 to allow room for athletic socks and foot swelling at end of day. It's a beautiful soft pink suede.

These sneakers are great, the color is perfect. They look both cute and casual and go with pretty much anything I wear. I do a ton of walking around campus and these are super comfortable and are a nice deviation from wearing running shoes all the time. I would definitely consider buying another pair in more colors, these are the perfect everyday shoe.

Very cute & a little bit of a retro look. I have narrow feet and they fit nicely without being too bulky or too narrow. I'm usually a 5.5 or 6, and the 6 was a bit too big so exchanged for a 5.5. I wouldn't work out in them, but they're great for an athleisure look with cropped/rolled jeans. I've worn them all day for multiple all day events & my feet felt great.

They look lighter in the photo than in person. The "N" is a dark gold and there are gold flecks in the heal. A bit too flashy for what I was looking for.

These are so comfortable. Slightly roomy from a size perspective. The color is a slightly on the blue/purple scale as opposed to gray but it still looks good. Better with jeans than black leggings.

This has been a toughy. I like the color light beige, seems like it would go great for athleisure type outfits, but the right shoe feels longer/bigger for some reason. I haven't ever had this problem before with shoes. So I may try a size down.

These are crazy comfortable and super cute! I've only had them for a week, but I wore them all day at a college football game, walking quite a few miles at almost 7 months pregnant and was comfortable the entire time. I'm usually an 8 in sneakers and the 8 in these were perfect. My feet are also a bit wide and these still fit very well without squeezing my toes. I would definitely recommend these if you're looking for a simple, sleek sneaker that matches just about anything. The colors are great and the shoe seems very well made. I probably wouldn't work out in them, but they're perfect as a street sneaker.

These sneakers have a lower profile than many NB styles, which I prefer. They're not too wide on my size 9.5 feet. The color is closer to blue than gray, but I still think it looks great. There's a little bit of glitter in the heel pattern, too. Overall super comfortable, easy to pack when traveling, and I'm inclined to buy another pair in a different color. Just be careful when wearing: the suede will scuff easily and the material on the top of the toes can stain!

Very light and comfortable. The colors (husk/angora) are muted and stylish. I usually wear a 5.5, sometimes a 6, and the 5.5 was perfect in this shoe.

Appear to run a little larger than most sneakers. I am usually a solid 7 and in this case have slightly more than a thumb at the toe box, making them break at an uncomfortable place in the front. Very attractive and great shoe--like walking on a cloud. Will order 6.5 and see how they fit!

Amazing sneakers very comfortable. I usually wear a size 35 and get 35.5 in sneakers for wiggle room. But bought 35 and still feel theres wiggle room. Definitely true to size and very spacious

We looked around locally for these shoes, hoping to be able to try on before buying. They must be a hot item because they were very hard to find. So I ordered on Zappos, had them at my house two days later, and LOVE everything about them. So stylish and comfortable. They fit just right.

Shoes are not bulky. Use them for running around on the weekend. The detail of the textured fabric is nice. The width may be slightly narrow, but I normally go up a half size for sneakers, especially to wear with my running socks.

I normally don't need to buy the wide width, but for some reason the normal width fit really snug.

The colour is good and the style is classic. However, it is tough to some degree and the size is a little large.

In an unusual turn of events for Zappo's I ordered the Moroccan Blue shoes, but received the Mercury Red shoes. I decided the red was kind of fun and they fit well, so I kept them. Have bought New Balance shoes many times over and they are usually a good fit for me. I have feet that don't really like shoes, so when I find something that works for me I stick with it.

Nice looking shoes. The green colors looks cool with just about anything. The back is slightly sparkly but not too noticeable.
