Good shoe, except now that I have worn them for a bit, seem to stretch out and little loose.

I had high hopes for this shoe since previous reviews compared it to the beloved New Balance 801 in fit. "At last!" I thought! I ordered a 1/2 size down based on comments. It was fine for walking. But then I went for a short drive.The right show almost came off. It impeded the gas peddle. The back lip just isn't high enough for it to stay in place. Very sad to return. But thanks to Zappos for making my quest fairly painless. I am not able to shop in stores due to a disability. It is great to be able to return without hassle or cost.

They seemed well made & comfortable, but tried twice & could not get a fit. One foot is 1/2 size smaller & because it's a mule I could adjust to this difference

I have been wanting shoes like these - ordered half size smaller due to reviews saying they run large. On me they were a bit too tight. I have not ordered the larger size, yet. I wish they were offered in white.

I love new balance shoes and these fit fairly well except a little stiff and wider than the old shoes I'm replacing. My feet love new balance shoes

The reason I bought this particular product is because I have a similar pair I bought from you, several years ago. I love the style and fit. It's most comfortable to be able to step into, and as I am getting older, ease of putting on my shoes becomes important! The old style was 801, and I still have them, but need new insoles.

They're perfect for walking. I'm not thrilled about the light blue color. I feel as if they look like slippers.

Love these easy, supportive and comfortable shoes. Perhaps I just wore them out but thought the fabric at top near the toe box should have lasted a bit longer. Otherwise, I loved them so much I ordered another pair!

I have a wider foot and did not buy the wide shoe and it's still too wide. Also hits right at my ankle bones in the sides making them sore

I wanted comfy shoes to slide into for around the house and these shoes are perfect. Good quality and great arch support. They do run a little wide so I won't be able to wear them without socks which is why I didn't give the shoes 5 stars. NB - please consider making this clog in a narrow.

Having only worn them 3 times I am not sure I would order them again. The footbed is comfortable with a spongy feel. The uppermost part of the instep is a little bit stiff. I am Magine the intent is to keep the shoe on my foot. After I've worn these shoes about 20 times I will be in a better position to decide if I would buy another pair.

Hi Zappos,
Thank you for continuing to be such a high quality company to work with.
I had to go down 1/2 size in these, and they run wide, but I kept the smaller size and added an inner sole.
Marque helped me during the exchange, and was super nice, knowledgeable, and made everything run smoothly. Give this guy a raise!

I bought this shoe based on my experience of the earlier 801 which was an excellent product. Please make all your Women's shoes with a narrow option. I have been buying New Balance shoes for running and walking for the last 40 years and love them!!!!

I liked the look of the shoe, & the style itself was comfortable, but it was way too big, even with socks on. I ordered my normal size, 7 M. Had to send them back. Didn't reorder in a smaller size.

Really like them but the material on the toe in front of the rubber wears through.

I have multiple problems with my feet -- wide to begin with, then tailor's bunions bothering me in the past year, and also just having shoes on for too long makes my feet feel like they are burning. Even athletic shoes with mesh uppers that supposedly "breathe" aren't great, so I like to take my shoes off whenever I can, quickly and easily. These shoes are perfect for work because they look like the sneakers I've always worn with my scrubs, but they slip on and off in a second and I don't have to touch them with my hands (I sterilize instruments so have to keep my hands clean). They lose a couple stars for comfort compared to my Easy Spirit slip-ons, but I'm happy to have them.
I'd also recommend:

Had something like this from NB YEARS ago that I LOVED, so I thought I'd give it a try. It didn't work for me. Was way too wide in the foot. (I am a AA heel and usually am not affected with width in the foot.) The shoe just wouldn't stay on my foot and so I returned it. Sad as I love the versatility of the slip-ons.

I like this clog very much although it is a bit wide for my narrow foot. However, having a NB clog again is great. I wear them all day around my house for comfort, support and ease of getting them on and off. If they had been made with the same base as the 801 NB use to make, they would be perfect.
