The fit is true to size and width. The arch support and stability support are moderate. I always enhance the arch support with super feet or the likes. Over the years NB has skimped on quality so these are less 'substantial' shoes compared to before. This particular show was worth the price though. It is an attractive color. I would purchase again at the price.

These shoes are great for my daily workout. They are light so they don't weigh my feet down. I have a very wide foot and this shoe accommodated it easily.

I can usually wear 8W New Balance right out of the box. I have had trouble recently finding pairs that fit right. The 1165v1 has a small toe box and the wide width still doesn't work.

They are true to size. My foot runs narrow and I got these in a medium. They are a little roomy in the heel but they work. Not super cushiony feeling. Style is nice but nothing exceptional. The reason I got them is because I cover a lot of miles with my dog, mostly on streets. I’m flat footed and knock kneed. I have a lot of problems with my knees and lower back, foot pain. Everything was hurting when I purchased these. I have put 60 miles on them on the last 2 weeks. Nothing hurts. So for style I’d give these shoes a “meh”. For function they get a “ Yay!”

The shoes fit good everywhere but the toes. I have to send them back. I got a horrible blister, wearing them.

For a double wide shoe, this was narrower than the wide shoe. Too short and too tight. Would not recommend this shoe.

As many of the reviews stated, right out of the box comfort. I usually wear a wide width, but ordered the medium width and was perfect. Sizing for me with most sneakers , I always need to go up one full size. I did with these and perfect fit. I do a lot of walking and happy to have a comfortable and supportive fit.

It's quite purple, even more than the picture shows, but a cute and comfortable shoe. Great arch support, light and breathable fabric from the ties to the toe.

I've been so happy to find extra wide and nicely looking light shoes, so I could buy my true size and not 2 sizes up. But After 15 minutes of waking in those shoes my toes started to hurt. Made a few more tries, hoping that my foots would adjust to the shoes, but ended up with such pain that couldn't wear any shoes, but slippers for a few days. Had to return

I was skeptical at first having fallen in love with a previous design that was discontinued. So, I gave the 1165 a try and fell in love all over again. I also bought 3 more in different color patterns.

Shoe was comfortable especially in the cushioned arch but toe box too narrow making shoe too short

Fits perfectly. I needed a walking shoe that was comfortable but had decent arch support because my feet are somewhat flat. Also wanted something that had a little more support around the back heel/ankle area. This fits the bill. THe support around the back of the shoe is good, the arch is just right - not too high. Extremely comfortable, and really cute in the color purple.

These are light-weight shoes, nice for running about town but I prefer more arch support and cushioning. These have a place as a casual shoe in my wardrobe, and they are cute. The fit is fine, like nearly all New Balance.

1165 is cut too small. My toe touched the shoe tip. Very uncomfortable. Returned it.

nice style but not enough support and foot kept wobbling. Plenty of room in back of shoe but my usual size going up a 1/2 size to 8.5 N was way too snug in toe area. Had to return.
