I am returning these shoes because they ran too short although I added 1/2 size. I read other reviews of same problem so I ordered up. I think the main problem in my case is that the toe box is not as roomy as my other styles of NB.

New Balance used to make a good shoe for my extra wide woman's feet, but they started making the EE size a little narrower about 5 years ago, which just does not work for me. And they don't make a EEE. Too bad.

Nice shoe but a little short and the EE was not very wide compared to other NB shoes.
I'd also recommend:
Boast fits better. Don't like all the crazy colors.

I ordered these and 4 other pair (1 other New Balance style, 2 Saucony, 1 Easy Spirit) in my search for a pair of exercise-walkers as my last ones (Saucony) were worn out. I normally wear an 8N, but take an 8.5N in sneakers.
Although this pair fit well, they felt insubstantial and cheaply made to me, but I expect that's because my last shoes were leather.
But they were still a contender due to the decent fit, until I tried on the pair I ended up keeping.
On an aesthetic note, I tried these in black because they didn't have my size in any other color, and frankly I just don't care for black sneakers.
I ended up keeping one of the Saucony styles, the Progrid Integrity ST 2.

I usually wear a 7.5 WW in NB sneakers. In this model, I felt like it was a 7.5 M or just a wide.....too narrow in toe box and the length!

I ordered a 8 WW (my usual size in this brand). But they were way too narrow! I was surprised because #1 they are supposed to be extra wide and #2 New balance has always had ample width for me. Sending them back. Love Zappos.

Very light shoe with nice colors but definitely too short. I usually wear 900 series and ordered the same size. I returned them and will go to a store to be able to try the shoe before I buy.

In all shoes except New Balance, I always wear an 8.5WW, but in New Balance I wear 9WW. This shoe, however, is too narrow in a double wide and there is no choice larger. Something is wrong with the outsourcing of these New Balance shoes. I hope they will choose a different manufacturer because whoever made these, were not using American sizes. I had to send the shoes back even though I thought they looked really good.

I purchased these sneakers online with a $40 credit due to a another damaged pair of New Balance sneakers. I love the way they fit. I love the way they feel. They don't make my feet hurt even after walking for an hour. However, like the pair I received the credit for, the tongue is beginning to break away from the sneaker (the other pair it completely came off). I cannot figure out why this is happening because I have been wearing sneakers my entire life and have never had this problem before.

Finally! A walking shoe that isn't "clunky." I wanted to love these shoes in such a great color, but I agree with other reviewers who noted the narrow toe box. The shoe is NOT too short; it just squeezes the toes too much for comfortable distance walking. I ordered both my regular size and a half-size up as recommended. But the larger size slid on my foot and gave me too much much room at the front - a potential tripping hazard. Fortunately, New Balance's return process was very easy. I'll shop New Balance in the future but pay more attention to toe box reviews.

I bought this shoe in both narrow and medium width - I have a narrow foot, so I though the narrow would be what I needed, but I bought both to be sure. Honestly, I felt no difference between the narrow and medium - they were properly marked, so I don't know if there was a defect in the labeling or the manufacturing or if that's the way the shoe comes, but there was not difference. On both the narrow and medium, the outside of my foot was getting squeezed in, so I had to return them. My shoe size is a 7.5 and I did order an 8.5 in these as I usually size up for athletic shoes. The 8.5 did fine for me in the length but the width didn't work at all. While the shoe didn't work for me, I do have to say that I am extremely impressed with zappos customer support - this was my first zappos purchase and I really was blown away by their fulfillment and return process - I personally have never experienced an online seller with such great processes, so I will not hesitate to buy from zappos in the future

Really, really cute shoe, but too short. I ordered an EE width (I normally wear a W) and that was fine, but my toes are pushing into the end of the shoe. I think they run at least a half size too small.

I am a long-time New Balance customer, and have a pair of blue NB 940 V1 running shoes that I love. They may be the best NB shoes I've ever had. Wanted to order another pair, but they are no longer available in that color. So decided to order the NB 1865 walking shoe in purple instead. I love the color, but the quality and fit were poor. Had to send them back. Not up to previous NB standards.

I find NB shoes aren't durable in the heels. after wearing them only a few times, the heel collapses and causes my feet and legs to hurt.

I have been recommended NB shoes by several people but find that the heel collapses after only a few wearings. I feel that for the price of the shoes, they should last longer than that.

New Balance has been progressively going smaller in length and width than other brands. It is unfortunate because it was a company you could count on. This pair is the same size I purchased a year ago but I wanted to increase the width for a little more comfort. This pair is literally narrower than the one I bought last year even though it is called a EE. I am switching brands in the future.

Having a great difficulty finding the right fit after years of wearing NB. Miss your old chart showing how heel, toe box, etc will fit.

I bought these to replace my New balance 847v2. i wanted something a little more fashionable. However, it does not have the cushioning that the 847 had. Sadly, i wore them so are not returnable or I would have sent them back. I have extreme heel pain and it returned when wearing this shoe, even when my custom made inserts were used. If you have problem feet, I would buy something else.

What happened to shoes like NB 665? Heavy, clunky.

The soles of these shoes make a funny noise when you walk on sidewalks! Also the laces inset is a little crooked which is noticeable at the top.
I'd also recommend:
Asics, Saucony

I was disappointed in the quality of this pair of running shoes. It's almost as if the manufacturer skimped on the fabric/materials. The alignment was terrible - to make it even worse.

I wear a size 9 2E width in the fresh foam 1080 and the 860 models. These in that same size were at least a size short and narrow. Toe box is too shallow also. Too bad because they are cute
