These shoes are awesome. So comfortable for my 12 1/2 hour shift work. Looks very cute on top of that. These are my favorites.

Lightweight and comfortable--just what I'd expect from New Balance. I really like the Thunder/Seafoam color combo. Ready to walk many happy miles in these babies!

This particular shoe style fits great because I tend to order a half size up. I wear a 6 1/2 to 7. I ordered 7's and they fit like I would expect most 6 1/2s to fit me. The toe box is high enough to fit my upturned big toe. And a pleasant surprise was that my somewhat narrow heel is cradled by the back of the shoe instead of sliding up and down. (I order the B width because I usually need that for the toe box/front foot width.) These are incredibly light weight, and the uppers are cushion-y, but the sole is sturdy and so these make a good walking shoe. They come with the typical New Balance removable insoles. I walked about 5 miles and my feet got tired (not the shoes' fault) but I didn't feel that my arches weren't supported. I do have higher arch insole that I might substitute, but don't feel that I desperately need that. In fact I ordered a second pair of the same style (different color) because I have a hard time finding shoes where I like the fit.

I probably would have kept this shoe but there was a manufacturing problem with the left one.
On the inside edge, left shoe there was a crease in the material and a possible small split.

My feet are very bad in the forefoot and toe area, I also have a high arch. This is the second pair of New Balance 420v, different colors. I love them....

I love these sneakers. I have a hard time finding comfortable shoes/sneakers due to width of feet. Many times I just suffer with them being uncomfortable. But these are so comfortable and fit so perfectly. True to size. Feet do not get sore while walking.

The color combo is beautiful! This is my second pair. I ordered one half size down (8 1/2). They fit better than the 9’s I previously purchased. Love these shoes!

Size is great. However I thought I ordered Black but for some reason I got Dark Blue. I will not return them as I did not notice the color till after I walked around with them for an hour or so.

Hi, I had to order a full size up! I usually wear a 11 wide in New Balance and I give myself a sideways thumbs length. But these really did run one size to small! Even with the little extra room I give myself. So if you wear a 9,10,11,so on, I would for sure go up a full size! Comfort is ok. They are the cheaper New Balance and I purchased for just running errands and small jaunts to store, etc.. They are cute though and make your feet look smaller!! YEA!

I bought these for my daughter to walk/jog. She loves the cushy insole and the overall fit.

I ordered a pair in 9 and 9.5. (My usual shoe size in other than athletic shoe is 8.5M). The 9.5 was a good fit and width but I ended up keeping the Saucony Breakthrough 4. The thing that decided me not to keep these was an unusual curve on the bottom of the shoe. Rather than a flat heel, it was curved. Did not like that when I walked around the house. So they are going back. Wanted to like them because of the price.

I was curious to see if I'd experience the smaller toe box issues others had, and unfortunately, I have. I was looking for a replacement for my NB 1765 and thought I'd try these over the 1865s as those had even more comments about the width and toe box being different.
I wear a size 11W with a narrow heel; the shoe was super comfortable to slip my foot into out of the box, but my toes came almost all the way up to the front of the shoe, and my little toes rubbed just enough along the side to keep this combination not right for me. I'd be aware all the time of the shoe against my foot. So I'll be sending these back.

The fit and the size were excellent. The shoe gives one a rolling type of walk, which I really like. The problem is the sole wears down pretty quickly. I have to buy the shoe more frequently than others. The shoe is very lightweight. I have brought the gray with the pink N and like it very much.

These were on sale and I really wasn't expecting much, but I like them a lot. The fit is great. They are a light light on cushion, but still very comfortable for wearing all day and walking my usual 2 miles in the a.m., plus look really good with jeans. I liked them well enough to buy another pair in a different color.
This purchase was also first from Zappos in New Balance. I have now added New Balance to my (very short) list of shoe brands I will buy, and since they are often very reasonably priced, that is a good thing.

I had to send These back twice to get a larger size. Full size larger now seems to fit better, although I wish it was a little bit wider. Very lightweight, love the color combination! So far the support has been just right.
