I liked the original Fresh Foam Cruz better. Fit and color were better to my taste.

They're comfortable for daily use at work, but the back portion of the shoe has virtually no structure. If you push down on it, it'll lay flat as a pancake. Would I buy again? If it was on sale.

Loved the idea of a slip on athletic shoe and these are stylish and comfortable once they are on your feet. Unfortunately getting them on is very difficult because the entrance is small and the elastic very strong. Especially difficult with an athletic sock on. Sorry, had to send them back.

For 40 years I have bought NB shoes, court, cross training and casual. They used to come in 3e, 3E and 4E sizes. Now NB seems to have gone to just 'W' for wide feet like mine. I am afraid unless 2E sizes are again available, I won't find a pair that fits me. The last pair that I returned was too narrow for my feet. In addition NB seems to credit my card too many days after they have received the returned item

Feel different. Not horrible but not like that walking on clouds feeling of the first edition.

I bought these tennis shoes for my niece. They are not true to size. I bought a size 8 and they are too big.

Thought it would be a slip on with nothing to tie. Heel could offer more support.

Sized up from 10.5 to 11 based on my other pair of Cruz'a and the new 11's are still smaller.

Last year the casual shoes had lowers that matched the upper in color instead of white. That was a much nicer look. These have a bit of a Mr. Roger's look.

These are just ok. Soles feel very thing but they are are cushy. I am surprised how narrow they run considering I ordered 2E wide.

Usually wear a 10 1/2. Sized up to an 11 based on other reviews. Too small. Returned for an 11 1/2. Still too small. Waiting on 12 to come now. Hopefully that will do it. Love the show but sizing is way off.

My boyfriend had the original issue of this shoe from years ago and the 15 fit him perfectly, so when this came out I quickly bought it in a 15 because it is hard to find shoes that fit him, well they were too small!! I don't understand how it's the same shoe but this time they were made smaller? Very frustrating as this is the largest size they make, so I'm having him work on stretching them out because it's the only option. Great looking shoe, so cannot give it low stars because for those that wear a smaller size it will be great.

Did not realize shoe did not have a tongue. Shoe goes on like a slipper sock and has laces attached to leather straps attached to the side to tighten. As a person with heal problems, it is painful to put shoe on as I can not loosen it enough to slide it on easily. I will say, once the is on, it is very comfortable.

I read the reviews and decided to just order my regular size of 8, but they were way to short, my toe was pushing on the end. And the sides were to high and rubbed my ankle. These are so adorable and fresh and I hated to have to return them. I was afraid to reorder because of the sides being so high and length, unsure of. I would say order at least a half size larger or even a size, but the side being high through me.
I'd also recommend:

Going to have to return these beauties... They are pretty narrow for my foot and do not stretch much. The lace-up is just a detail, not serving any other purpose. Not in my case, at least. There's also a weird squishing of the heels - sideways around. So, it's a no from me.

While these shoes were cute in the description, I did not like them in person. I guess I am not a person who likes birds on her shoes! The material was solid, not mesh like my other New Balance shoe. There was no ventilation. They were true to size and fit well. but I did not feel the support I normally get from New Balance. I am a competitive walker and wear New Balance 1080. The general fit was true my experience with New Balance. They are a good shoe, I just wanted something cute and these missed the mark for me.

Nice looking shoe. I usually wear a 12 med. in a sport shoe. This shoe felt as if it was too wide and a bit too long. Thanks to Zappos and their easy shipping policy so that I can return and try another.
