Wide. lightweight, and comfortable.
After 6 months of walking 4 miles per day, a hole developed where the top fabric meets the rubber near baby toe plus there is excessive wear on heals. However, because these shoes are so comfortable, I am ordering another identical pair.

I have an active job on concrete floors. I have high arches and have to buy good shoes. I felt as though I was stepping into a bed of clouds, very comfortable. I like buying shoes that have no breakin period. I did walk in them as well, but will use these specifically for work,where I put miles in as well.

I love them so far just from wearing them to run errands. I got them for a music festival since they are supposed to be good for extended walking so we'll see how they hold up. I got a 7.5 but they feel a little big, but that actually works out so no complaints there.

I love the look and feel of these shoes. They fit well and handle my orthotics well. I have a hammer toe plus an arthritic big toe joint that require a wide enough toe box to accommodate these problems. Well, this shoe works for me - both on the problem foot and my non-problem foot. Can't beat that in my book! I was concerned that the gray/green wouldn't work for me, but the overall impression is of gray and I like that.

Sneakers are true to size, light and comfortable. My only criticism is the tongues curl in against the top of the foot and there is no way to secure the tongue so that it does not move. Very annoying.

Ever since buying NB shoes I've had no foot problems, these are well made, comfortable as well as durable. Very happy customer.

I typically wear a 9 or 9.5. Ordered a 9.5 but found it was slightly too short so I would recommend going at least a half size and maybe a full size larger than normal. It is a very cute shoe and very comfortable.

I bought these for a trip to Africa, and received them a week before I left. Took a 4 mile walk in them the first day I had them - no blisters, no pain, fit like a charm. Probably put 12miles on them before my trip. Although I didn't do any long walks while in Africa, the shoes were extremely comfortable on the plane, in airports, while in the LandCruiser on safari trips, and walking around. I love these shoes and continue to use them for hiking and walking around my neighborhood. Will be traveling with them again this year to Canada (where I do walk a lot). Very happy. I like the pale pink lettering on grey. So often I have to buy mens' shoes as I wear a women's 12, but these fit wonderfully.

I am so excited to wear these shoes, I got the grey ones. They are classic looking, comfortable but not big and bulky.

Love these lightweight comfortable sneakers. Wanted a lighter sneaker that I can use for home and travel. Fit great as soon as I put them on. Just need longer shoe laces

Ok-- I always wear a 5 1/2. This is my second order at a size 6. About the same fit as the 5 1/2. Ordered a third time at 6 1/2. Bingo. Works. Keeping them. I actually have ordered this style in the greenish color twice in two years as they fit well at a 5 1/2. This is tennis shoe craziness

I'm very pleased with these sneakers. They fit well and look great. The cushioning is moderate. I wear them for "every day", doing errands, etc., but I wouldn't do more than walk in them.

Great fit. These replaced my "everyday" and "work" sneakers. I work in a busy doctors office, so I'm often walking/running around. They are lightweight and comfortable for work and for everyday.

I bought these shoes for an upcoming European trip when I was looking for something that is lightweight, very comfortable and not clunky looking. This model fills the bill. The only reason I gave 4-stars for comfort is that I would have preferred more arch support.
