Unless it is too cold, I wear these as my primary shoes. I ordered one pair and within a month the buckle snapped in half. Zappos replaced them with no questions asked. The second pair has not had that issue, so I expect it was a one-off problem. They are very comfortable and have a thick enough sole that walking on uneven terrain isn't a problem. The reviwer who commented that the buckle being on the outside of the sandal is a pain is completely right. It would have made much more sense to put it on the inside.

These are great shoes. They are very light and flexible. I love that there is an extra velcro strap in the back for another way to adjust fit. I bought these for my son and the price was much better for growing feet than a pair of Tevas would have cost me.

Just received the shoe. Love them, plenty adjustable for big feet on the velcro. My feet are 6E wide and i barely had to loosen then. Soft soles and they weigh practically nothing. Would buy again easily.

Got these about a month ago and have been wearing them exclusively since. They fit great, the feel is comfortable and none of the straps rub the wrong way. My only gripe is that the Velcro lengths are a little long so there is a bit hanging over the edge, but other than that these are great.

These are great sandals. Summer is here and I was tired of having to wear my clunky sneakers, and flip flops just don't work for me due to my wide feet. These sandals are extremely comfortable and highly adjustable.

I don't normally wear sandals all day--they are more for quick trips to the store or going to get the mail. I like these, but I am a 10.5 and thought that the 10 would be fine. You need to round UP if you normally wear a half-size, lads. : )

I purchased these for my husband, who stated these sandals were just what he was looking for to hang out at the beach, and decently comfortable. I noted there was quite a lot of extra strap over the top of the foot once he got them adjusted, but not a deal-breaker.

These sandals are just what I wanted and expected. The pair I bought recently replaced a previous pair I inadvertently left at a hotel. Same sandals, same wide fit.

The Adjusting the straps over the instep were so long they curled up on the ends. I had to have them cut off and rehemmed. And I have a high instep. The soles are quite light weight so I don’t know how durable and long-lasting they will be. However, other than the long straps they look good and are comfortable.

The sandals fit very well, but while not bad at all, not quite as comfortable as I had expected.

This sandal has a combination of Velcro fastener over the arch, plus a snap fitting on the same strap. That fitting is hard for me to operate, so I try to use just the Velcro fastener on the strap. Doesn't work as well as the model from a few years ago.

Like the other sandals I just purchased from New Balance it's great to have a sandal that fits my wide feet. While it seems great to have all the adjustments to fit my foot I'm not sure how long term the velcro will hold. I love having the snap buckle to get them on and off.

I brought these for my son, who is autistic. He is 14 years old. I thought it might be good for school in the summer. Unfortunately, I think he felt funny having his toes out for school and the way he walked in them looked as if it was too big ...so there was flopping and no real support for running. He has "Fred Flintstone" feet so he needs wide but these were really wide and...his size was not available so I got a 10 instead of 9.5.

Husband wears a size 13 double or triple wide but these ran very small in length. Width was good but he had to size up to a 14 to make sure his toes weren’t falling off. Very short in length - would definitely size up.

Good News: I love this sandal: looks great and feels great. Bad news: I have a problem with this sandal. Why? I ordered 2 pair. They fit and feel great. But there seems to be a flaw in the engineering, possibly. The strap that goes across the top of the foot has a snap-in connection. First time I put my foot in one of the pairs, it just popped out...wouldn't hold. Other pair is holding fine, but I am concerned about shoving my foot in too hard and fast, and the clip might pop out. Once that clip is forced out it won't hold at all.

Foam sole. Fabric straps remind me of 1990s teva straps (good thing in my book). Velcro strap too long - over 3 inches of excess strap. Also the excess strap sticks out. A full size to short. I ordered this New Balance Response sandal in 12 4e and the sole was the exact same length as Dunham Nolan 11 4e (same company). I normally wear 11 3e in Allen Edmond dress shoes and 11 1/2 4e in New Balance tennis shoes.
Felt comfortable but returned.

The sole of the sandal has somewhat plastic-like surface. I put water on the floor and I could easily slide with them and at my age, 67, I do not want to take a chance of falling. I had a pair of new balance sandals that I am replacing, but the surface of the sole has much more grip than these. I had to return them.
