The shoes fit perfectly the first time I put them on. I bought them to replace a previous pair of New Balance walking shoes that also fit perfectly. They are also very lightweight. I've found that New Balance shoes are usually very true to size. I'd highly recommend these shoes.

I don't EVER write reviews...but I thought I would this time :) So I used to be an devoted New Balance customer! That's all I wore for years! Then I discovered Nike and have worn them for about 2 years. I noticed that my feet were beginning to bother me which for me is tell tale sign of needing new shoes. I happened to be away for a weekend in Vacaville, CA and went to the outlet stores. Well I decided to go into the New Balance store and I found these shoes. I tried them on and it felt like I wasn't wearing anything and they were so lightweight. They didn't have them in a color I liked so I came home and looked on here and purchased these ones! SO glad I didn't just settle for another color! Thanks Zappos for coming through!

I purchased the extra wide and went down 1/2 size of what I usually wear. The shoe was too big. My heels slid up and down while walking. Had to send them back. The color was a deep eggplant/purple, which I liked. The N was kind of a shiny rose color.

I loved these shoes and gave them a run for the money right away as I had to run through an airport in them first thing. I ordered a 9.5 wide and they fit perfectly. They are very comfortable for a wide foot and the toe room is right what I need it to be. I am always very worried about shoes being wide enough but these are truly perfect. Order your actual size and you will be happy. And, the nice thing is, if you are not, Zappos allows you to send back for free. But no regrets here!

I do a lot of walking and these shoes are great. My other shoes always left my feet aching at the end of the day - but these are so comfortable I ended up buying a 2nd pair.

I have worn New Balance shoes for years, mostly the Leadville shoes. I know that I can always order my size and be satisfied with the fit. I decided to take advantage of the great prices and bought a new pair. I am more than satisfied and very happy with the comfort of NB. I am a lifelong customer.

Based on reviews, I ordered two pairs, 7 and 7 1/2 and in dress shoes I wear 6 1/2. The 7 1/2 fits very well. Because of foot surgery, my doctor advised I get the widest toe box available. I ordered EE which works well. I am thankful to find something that works and was on my feet in 24 hours. Returned the 7 and kept the 7 1/2.

I have a feeling these will soon be my favorite athletic shoe ever. They felt great right out of the box, and that is a rarity for me. I have bunions, and New Balance is the only brand with a toe box that is wide and deep enough to accommodate those. The mesh upper provides extra give where I need it, and I can adjust the laces so that I my heel doesn't slip at the back. Just FYI, I wear 9EE in an everyday shoe, and 9.5EE in NB. Thanks, New Balance! And, a big thanks to Zappos for offering quite a number of EE shoes and making the buying process (right through to returns) so darn easy!

I have wide feet. Where orthotics. They aren’t as soft or cushiony is Hokus but they’re very comfortable on the top where I have arthritis. I like the color and even with this size 9 foot they don’t make my feet look big or ugly

I' Ve had 9 foot surgeries and struggle to get comfortable, sturdy shoes for myself. These are comfortable , sturdy, and good looking, so I just ordered myself two more pairs. Also, on two separate occasions already, I have had compliments on my shoes.

So light and comfy. May not have all the support for a heavy workout but perfect for a casual shoe with no seams to rub or restrict.

The best sneakers I’ve ever had. Lightweight, supportive and comfortable. I take a 7.5 wide and have bunions. These sneakers are a dream to walk in. Wore them to walk around NYC and was so comfy.

It is difficult for me to find good walking shoes for my narrow feet. I bought these sneakers for walking and find I just love them. They provide the support I need plus the breathing room for me toes. They are lightweight and easy to walk in. Try them and I am sure you will love them!

They are comfortable and easy to wear. The laces are a little thin, but otherwise everything was good, as expected. All new balance shoes require a larger size than standard shoes. Mine is a 8.5 N. Regular shoes are 7.5.

I wear these daily to work & walk for 20 minutes on my lunch. Very comfortable. Only downfall is that I have to tie them tight or they slide up & down some. I wear a size 5 & they're a good fit.

I loved the shoes! No break in time needed - unfortunately I need to have a bigger toe cap covering due to the way I walk. There is already a hole in the mesh where my big toe hits the top of the shoe. Looking for a good replacement. I had not worn New Balance for years but have bought a shoe for pickleball and will order New Balance again to replace my Fresh Foam 1165.
