Great walking shoe to meet FitBit goals. I'm glad I bought it.

I have used these shoes just once so far for my walking routine. I walk about 3 miles each morning. These do not seem to have quite as much support as my 990s which I normally wear for this purpose. The Fresh Foam 1165 is comfortable and fits well for my everyday running around wear.

The foam feels much better than most shoes I have tried on. My feet are arthritic and everything hurts so comfort is really important. Indoors,, these shoes feel like slippers. I do miss a slightly higher heel as with running shoes to give that spring forward effect. The toe base is roomy. I had read the size can run small so I ordered a longer size of 11 AA and they fit perfectly.

These shoes are comfortable and provide the arch support that I need. They are light weight which helps keep me cool in the warm weather.

These are good for everyday, but I like my new 1365 so much better. It is so cushioning and feels great. These will work great for everyday wear. My foot doctor recommends New Balance shoes

i work in a hospital and i am on my feet 95% of my shift. I needed a shoe that could stand as long as i do. I found it. I don't even put my custom made orthotics in these. They are comfortable and my feet don't hurt at the end of a shift. I love them so much i bought another pair and switch off between the two. Please don't change this shoe.

Sneaker is fine, but runs small. Need to exchange to 1/2 size larger.

I bought these shoes online because the nearby New Balance store was closed due to the pandemic. Not really knowing what to buy, I took a chance on these shoes. I'm very happy with them for both the fit and their appearance. My podiatrist suggested that I stick with the New Balance brand.

For walking and general wear. My wife has very painful feet and has a difficult time finding comfortable shoes...these do the trick.

I have worn this style for the past year and just purchased a new pair. I have tried many brands and styles of walking shoes and I find this style to be the most comfortable for my miles of walking for exercise. The shoes are attractive as exercise shoes can be, as they are not clunky or over-sized looking as many styles are. I would prefer a bit more room in the toe (I buy normal width) as I think the heel might be too wide in a wide size. It would be great if they came in more variety of colors, dark and light. I usually have to purchase exercise shoes 1/2 size larger than my regular size and these are true to that.

I ordered the white one in extra wide and have worn it a couple of times so far. Very comfortable and moves with my foot.

The shoe fits well, seems well made and easy to put on. Not at all happy with the insoles. Why can't we add a good insole as an extra when we buy the shoe?

Great support and the foam is really cushy. I feel like I have more energy and can keep going longer than normal. Toe box is a little tight for me, but overall I'm happy with the purchase.

Liked the style and nice cushiony feel but they were too short. Hope to be able to order a larger size when available.

I have recently had to switch to wider shoes because of arthritis. They are difficult to find and although these shoes look wider than they probably need to because of their design it was a blessing to find them because they accommodate my orthotics and they are very comfortable. I highly recommend these shoes!

I bought this for an everyday wear shoe. It looks great and is comfy but it could use better support or more foam. With that exception, it's a nice shoe.

I I have a wide foot so I have difficulty finding shoes that both fit well and look good. I love the feel of these shoes and I love how they look. The only thing I don't agree with is how the size runs. I ordered a double wide because regular wide New Balance shoes were squeezing my toes. Perhaps it's the free mesh, but my feet feel like there's extra room in these shoes. If I was to buy them again, I would step down to the regular wide and not get the extra wide.
I'm very happy with the purchase

I needed extra wide tennis shoes to work. This goes well with scrubs, but they do look like extra wide indeed, so not the cutest shoe. But the fact that they are super comfortable made this shoe a keeper. I work in a hospital on my feet for more than 12h/day and occasionally my feet get swollen. This shoe doesn't hurt anywhere, even by the end of the day. Arch support is average. Other good thing is that the insole doesn't get too smelly, so that's a plus! Got it on 9WW, which is my actual size. Recommended!

Read reviews about these running small. Usually wear a 9B (B = standard width). Ordered a 10B, and they fit well (fit like 9B's do). Shoes were comfortable right out of the box and feel light on my feet. Happy with this purchase.

Recovery from foot surgery has been painful & I was terrified of walking in a shoe..these are so comfortable, with lots of cushioned support between my foot & the floor.
My only complaint is they are not exactly attractive shoes...Extra Wide is too limited in styles.

There is not as much cushion and support as I expected based on previous reviews however, these are definitely giving me more comfort than my other shoes I walk in

These are very comfortable light-weight sneakers. New Balance is the only sneaker that comes in Narrow. My only regret is that an even lighter sneaker (ww895GP2) is no longer available.

This shoe is extremely comfortable. The mesh top makes it wonderful for those of us who have bunions. Nothing presses. It's a light, airy shoe. If you're looking for a shoe to wear in the rain, this probably isn't the one. But for dry days, this is a great shoe for walking distances or just milling around town.
