Fits my wide feet. Took a point off style because the laces don't stay tied despite a double not.

Retro style and fit. Feel is not like x-trainer/walking shoe. This is a sneaker in the old sense.

If you have high arches or flat feet be aware that this style of New Balance offers no arch support. Also the toe area is narrow and while my big toe didn't hit the top of shoe, I felt that if I did a full day of site-seeing I could see myself wanting more room in the toe box area.

Nice shoe although it seems to run a tad small. I’d say size up.

The black in leather were sooo cute! And yet sooo squeaky... I bought these to wear on set. No way they would work as I would have to freeze every time we’re rolling. Sadly, they have to go back.

Personal preference of not liking the snake-type skin look on this shoe. I think new balance would be more comfortable than these but that may have had to do with the material.

Reviewed at New Balance
I love the shoes themselves. I have had several pair of new balance grey shoes. However I ordered these online and when they came they had a few scuff marks on them. Was very unhappy about it and emailed new balance. Never did get a response. I don't think I will ever order online again. Will want to see the shoe in person from now on. I paid too much for new shoes to come damaged.

There was no support and very little cushioning, which surprised me for a New Balance shoe and which I need. I love the style and the fabulous pale pink color, so I'm disappointed the shoe didn't work out for me.

Loved the style, but extremely narrow in the toe area. Ended up returning. Also, the light color has a blueish tint, which I wasn't crazy about

I am very disappointed in these sneakers. I have bought and worn New Balance sneakers for years and still have two pairs I continue to wear. The quality of these shoes has really deteriorated. So disappointed that I have to send them back. No comfort or support.

Going back tomorrow, not a good fit at all. I have the NB 520 and I love it and expected this shoe to be similar. Not. It almost seems like a shoe that is unisex sized. Thank you Zappos for letting me receive and return so easily.
