I hjave a very narrow foot. These fit great (in the narrow width). Unfortunately I find them very hot and heavy. I'm accustomed to a much lighter running show. Putting them aware until the weather is cooler.

These fit much shorter than I expected. My big toe was pressed up into the end of the shoe. I don't usually like plain white sneakers but the style was better than I expected.

I feel these are running either a 1/2 to whole size smaller.

Good shoes I love new balance, they are really the only brand I purchase I have small feet but they are wide so it is hard to find shoes that fit properly with my foot issues. I had high hope for these as they are up there in price as are any shoes in my size but was disappointed when they were so tight even in a 2E. I returned them and purchased a different style that will hopefully work out for me. Also when I purchased I misread and thought they were for running and training so they wouldn't have been compatible in that aspect either.

The representative told me these would be a good fit after I gave up the 928. They were tapered in the front to toe area, which made them really uncomfortable.

I love the look, and the fit on the left foot. The right shoe doesn't have enough cushion at the ball of foot. It hurts my foot and therefore I can't wear them. Have worn New Balance for years but these aren't the same shoes as before I am sorry to have to say.

Just bought these shoes for work and will probably be sending them back. My feet have no fat pads so I'm looking for something incredibly soft and comfy. New Balance always filled the bill but my feet need something more now. Theres nothing wrong with these shoes, just aren't soft enough on the bottom of my feet despite using inserts. Time to move onto something else. As always, Zappos delivered my shoes promptly, I am always satisfied with their service.

I thought I was buying an aerobic shoe. I wanted a cross trainers. I will keep them for walking, but need to buy something else for working out. Not flexible and not good for lateral moves.

I have been wearing this line of shoes throughout all of its incarnations for about 10 years, and I'm not in love with this latest version. I have been wearing a 7.5W in all of my New Balance shoes for several years, but had to go up to an 8 in this one because they skimped on the toe box, and the shoes aren't as comfortable because the 8 is just a little too big in other areas. New Balance, please fix my favorite shoe!

They don't look too bad in person but they aren't very wide. I own a pair of Men's NB sneakers, so I thought I had the size nailed down...I used the size guide to convert the fit from men's to women's, I even traced and measured my foot but they were still too narrow. I think if it was a size larger the toe cap would hit a slightly different spot on my foot and they may fit but what I'm guessing would be my proper size isn't in stock, so I can't say anything further. But buy a size up!

I am a regular size 8 & even sometimes a 7 1/2. NB shoes must run small. All 4 pair in my order were 1/2 size too short. I also hoped that something would have changed. I have narrow feet & a very narrow heel. As in the past, this heel is too wide for me. :(.

This shoe is not as wide as the 990V5. There is a gap at the top of the shoe where the tongue begins. The back heel is not as high on the foot. I wanted to find a less expensive alternative to the 990V5, but this was not the right shoe.

So these shoes come in wide widths, but the toebox is very tight. And the tongue is not wide enough either. When I put them on you can see my socks on both sides of the tongue. Not a good fit at all for my ee wide feet.

They didn't fit like I hoped. I ordered my size but they pinched. I'm not sure why. Returning them though was easy

I began purchasing NB shoes many years ago (well over 30) because they carried nearly all their styles in narrow widths. I wear size 8.5 2A. According to the box and the information on the tongue that's the size of these shoes. They have to be mislabeled. They were too wide everywhere. Both heel and toe. Even tying them tighter didn't help a bit. Also, the usual quality for NB shoes, meaning materials and workmanship, isn't what I have come to expect from NB either. They have been returned.

Looking for a good shoe as have a stress fracture on a toe - need wide toe box and narrow heel - this fits but toes feel cramped and heel is fine. Have toes that splay when walking which is all I use a shoe for these days.

Felt good by the end of the first day, but by the third, my feet were killing me. Felt like there wasn’t any cushion in the soles.

Fit fine in width and length and toe room. I read and agree with a reliable review that said it was like standing on a hard surface all day. Insufficient cushioning for my feet.
