Not crazy about the color- a little minty green for my taste, but they were on sale, and because this is my third pair of these shoes, I decided to switch it up a bit.

I forgot to heed the advice of others to purchase a larger size in New Balance shoes. The result is I've had to return this and another pair. You really do have to think bigger with New Balance, which makes me a little sad.

I was so looking forward to this sneaker. I received it yesterday and although it was definitely comfortable, I could not get past the look of it. I ordered an 8.5W, my usual NB size and I looked like I had clown feet. The toe box is so wide, it was hideous. Needless to say, it is being returned today, and I am really disappointed.

Nice cushion and arch support but a little narrow in the toe box. I won't be able to run in these, but I'm keeping them for walking and lifting.

These sneakers run short, I had to buy a half size larger than normal. They don't appear to long because the toe is very rounded. They are comfortable but my new insoles are too high in the heel for this shoe.
They are a little expensive but being comfortable is worth it for me. I'm very hard to fit.

These shoes felt comfortable when I put them on, they did feel wide enough for me, but I decided not to keep them because it made the front of my foot look very round and fat. I didn't want to pay $150 for shoes that make my feet look even wider. I'll still try New Balance but a different style.

In my 11 N women's running shoes, I have again found fresh footing to run regularly again. They provide ample cushion for my knee injury. I wish they had a bit more traction, but they get the job done.

I really love how soft and cushiony this sneaker is. I ordered the 6.5 N. I have a quite narrow foot. Perfect fit. However the arch support is lacking. I will be buying small arch supports for these sneakers.

The New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v8 shoe in black (8EE) is comfortable and lightweight. Although the foam sole is comfy, I had to put arch support in. I also bought in a bright blue, which is actually kind of ugly when put on super wide feet. Stick with the black.

I love this show! I was a very loyal to the mizuno shoe brand for many years until the quality started to go down 2 years ago. I went to a local shoe store, tried on a lot of brands and I fell in love with this Ndw Balance show. Now I’m loyal to it. Only btoblem is that I have to replace it every 6 months or less. Shoes don’t last as long as they used to. This is why I did not give it a 5 star rating.

I just got my new shoes, and they are just perfect. So I put them on all day and low and behold, my legs hurt when I took them off! I will try again, because I think I overdid it a little!! The color, bright orangey pink, is fabulous, and the look is great. Now I've got to figure out about the painful legs!

The shoes are cute and I love the colors. But, the toe box area is wide in appearance. I wear 12 Narrow. The shoes feel narrow enough. But, they look huge and boxy. My feet are big enough. I don't want to draw attention to them. Therefore, I plan to return them and stick with the current brand I buy.

I have to agree with a previous reviewer that the depth of the toe box is an issue. Both of my big toes were in extreme pain. I have worn New Balance for years in the same size 9 1/2 narrow. Unfortunately, I have worn the shoes for a few days and threw away the packing materials so I am stuck with them. Waiting for a larger size to become available to see if that relieves my discomfort.

These shoes felt very comfortable, but I was afraid that if used for walking, my narrow feet would have too much room to move. I returned them for something g narrower

New Balance is the only shoe I can wear. I take a 2E and this shoe had lots of toe room and was generally comfortable except it was too tight in the heel. I'd never had shoes too tight in the heel before and it sure makes a difference. I had to return them. Thank you Zappos. You always make returns hassle free.

I have many, many pair of 1080's. I purchased these for the simple
coloring. A nice change. I like them although they seem a bit bulky compared to my older versions.

The 1080v6 style I currently wear was not available in my size so I tried these and was happy to see that it provided the right amount of cushion and support. When first worn, i could feel the seam up against my left big toe, but I wear inserts which remedied the problem.

Shoes fit well and are very comfortable. i usually run about 14-15 miles a week and these shoes are well suited to my running style. They are a little bright for my taste but because they fit so well, I can overlook that. I would order them again!!

These started out great and were super comfortable but they didn't last very long. They were only used for casual daily wear but after 6 months the outer support is failing. These are no longer safe shoes for a supinated foot.
