I need to get a different size BEFORE I can really make useful comments.
But.....I did like the stretchy material (lots of room IF your need a high toe box).
They really are running LARGE (Too LONG).
I usually wear an 8 1/2 in a New Balance.
I will be ordering an 8 M (and maybe an 8 Wide).
They have a really firm sole.
I just want these as a Supportive shoe for inside my house
(haven't found a supportive slipper yet).
I work from home and these MIGHT be GREAT!

This runs fairly true to size. A little wide in the toe box area but not slipping off. I do prefer the previous slip on that was a running shoe. It had much more support and a firmer sole. This is on the softer side and I am putting in a more firm arch support insert. The color and overall style is nice though.

I ordered 9.5 W in the Women's version of this shoe. Usually, 9.5 W from New Balance always works. When I tried it on, it was simply too short when wearing a sock. The 10W pair I ordered next fit perfectly in the length without being too wide or sloppy feeling. I am enjoying the comfort and the how quickly I can just zip out the door with these shoes. I only took away one star because of the sizing inconsistency.

These were comfortable, but my foot slipped abit in them. Just a little to large, but not a full half size. The low ridge at the heel seemed too low. My foot would slip out or be on top of the ridge.

These were just too large and floppy for me to deal with. I love many of the NB options. I use them almost exclusively as they're very good shoes for arthritis issues.

I have been getting New Balance shoes for a couple of decades, and this is the third time I've ordered the sport slip. It is the first time overall that the shoe doesn't fit well. It may get better with wear, but I am not used to being uncomfortable in New Balance shoes.

I really want to love this shoe...but I tried it on and tried walking around the house. It kept slipping off. I then inserted my orthodic and it was still too large. I tried putting my orthodic in along with the one that came with the shoe and it was still sloppy. Sorry but I must return.

I ordered these to wear around my house, I have been having some extremely bad heel pain (maybe plantar fasciitis?) - and these were comfy to stand in, but when I walked, because of the flexing of the sole (similar to a flip flop), they made my heel/arch pain much worse. I think these would be comfy if you didn’t have this particular issue.

I ordered this shoes in wide but I didn't feel like they felt wide. Since i have bunion I had to return them. They were also very stiff. Not her comfy.

The cushy sole is nice. Shoe color & look are great. Unfortunately, the Medium width shoe runs a bit WIDE. Wish there was a Narrow option as well. Will not be able to wear it because of the Width.

I really wanted these to work, dang it. Usually wear a 7 1/2 - 8. 8 way too big, tried 7 1/2 and even that would flop around. Part of the problem is that the little ledge in the back of the heel needs to be, for me, maybe 1/8" higher to get my foot to stay in place. I currently have an excellent pair of New Balance scuffs that are woefully worn, but the lip on the back measures one full inch from the inside sole to the top, and it does the trick. New Balance, do you read these?!?

The sneakers are very comfortable & stylish, but too wide for my narrow foot. I have a few pair from years ago & they fit much better. The style is a little bit different. I will continue to wear them.

I bought these to wear outside in the summer. I did order wide but they are REALLY wide. Not as comfortable as I remembered from previous purchases of NB.

These are a pretty blue color and appear to be of top quality materials. I have been a fan of NB for many, many years and other than the horrible mesh phase the designers went through, I have been very satisfied. That being said, I am not sure I would buy this particular shoe again. It fits larger than it should - perhaps 'box-like' would be more accurate. Because of the design I would have thought the shoe would have been engineered to fit more snug or fitted. Instead I have too much wiggle room and feel the need to hold tight lest I lose them in the grass.

I really liked them but the medium width is too wide for my medium foot. Almost felt like flip flops. Well made, just not secure fit.

I enjoy these sneakers because I can just slip them on. I ordered a wide but it's a little oversized for me. I might order again but not request a wide.

I read the reviews that said the opening of these shoes is much too loose, but I have some swelling from injuries so I thought it would be OK. Not so! They feel like flip flops. No good if you have any instability in your ankles. The design would be vastly improved with elastic goring.

I am wearing them, but I am disappointed with the quality and the "last."
For YEARS I wore the New Balance 811. They were perfect. Fit me immediately.
Several years ago you stopped making those. Since, the quality has decreased and so has the comfort. They are stiff and not supported. The "fit" is no longer predictable.

I used to wear NB sneaker mules years ago, in fact I had several pairs. That model was discontinued. This current version seems different- wider with a less supportive sole. I ordered the black and they have a nice sporty look. However, although my toe was a the end with the right amount of room- similar to other sneakers I have, they were a little too wide. As a result, when I walked on carpet, they felt like they were going to come off. I figured they will stretch with wear so I am returning them. For reference I normally wear 6B. Since the support is not there as before, I will consider another brand.

These shoes are really cute. I ordered the light blue color. I returned them because they are much too large/wide, and they fall off my feet. I wear a size 10 in New Balance, however these are much too large. It may be in part due to the slip on style (i.e. not adjustable with laces, and also I didn't wear socks with them. Given the fit and the $100 price, I decided to return them. I love Zappos return easy and free returns!
