I love these sneakers, but after only a few weeks of having them I noticed a small hole starting where my big toe sits. I’ve never had this happen with a shoe before and I’m blaming it on the knit fabric they are made of. Disappointed especially after spending so much money on them.

This is my third color of this style of mesh shoe. I love them! They are SO comfortable. I wear them to the gym but they will also be my walking shoe all over Europe. You won’t be disappointed!

I was looking for a pair of shoes to wear with my athleisure attire, and I think this may be the perfect pair! I’m concerned about wearing a hole in the top per other reviews, but my first thoughts are all positive so far!

Love these. I bought the blush color and wear them all the time. They are super light and breathable and very supportive. I find them very true to size!

After only two months, they have developed holes in the front of both sneakers. Really cute sneakers, but not great quality.

I was excited about the shoe and I LOVE the style but unfortunately like other customers a small hole has formed on both shoes where my big toes are. The material near the toe region is just very thin. Sadly, this was my first time buying New Balances and I wasn’t impressed.

Love these- I vary between 8, 8.5, and 9, and in these shoes I feel most comfortable in the 9. There is a bit of wiggle room in the length but the width is perfect. The 8.5 worked but was snug.

Great looking shoes. Very comfortable for casual days. Not enough support for exercise. True to size. Flexible fabric.

I really wish I would have gotten a half size larger. Great looking, a bit hard to slide onto my feet. It really needs a back loop to help.

Fit and size as expected. As other reviewers have pointed out, it would be great if there was a pull tab on the heel to assist with on/off. You get used to not having it, but it's what keeps me from giving these 5 stars. I got these in the indigo, which is not-quite-navy/not-quite-purple. In the Crayola box, this color was called "blue-violet." It's gorgeous. I don't wear these as athletic shoes - I do my fitness walking in more structured shoes. But for bumming around, walking on vacation/sightseeing, all day shopping, etc., these are great. I wear them with jeans, leggings, whatever. I got these in wide so I could use my arch supports, but if I ever get another pair, I'll get a medium - these are a tad roomy. Still love them, though.

Nice summer weight shoe but I don't like the tan tab at the end of the tongue. It adds to the height of the tongue and it detracts from the look.

i loved these shoes initially... but the softness of the mesh allows my foot to move forward in them causing my toes to hit the end of the shoes... sadly gave them away

The shoe is adorable, but it is impossible to put on, and the side comes up just high enough to irritate my ankle bone. I love the color and hate to give that up, but they must go back.

The mesh upper keeps the foot cool + allows for air flow. The back of one shoe rubbed the back of my ankle bloody for the first few wears, but then they were good. The reason I came back to add a review is that holes started to form above my big toes after a couple of weeks of light wear. I've never had this issue in any other pair of shoes or socks. Now I can see that I'm not alone. Super disappointing, because there is just no way to stop the raveling once it starts.

I really loved these sneakers for many reasons. I liked the knit fabric because it made the shoe not look like an athletic shoe. It's hard to find a sneaker that is "dressy". My orthotics fit in them w/o a problem. The problem was with in a short time a tiny hole started to emerge from the top of my big toe. My toes don't protrude upward, I think they need to make a reinforcement piece of material under the toe part because knit fabric doesn't wear well.

A very comfortable shoe that would be great for doing a lot of walking, but unfortunately it was a bit too tight on me, and I think the next half-size up would be too big.

I love these shoes but had to return the first pair because I could not even get my foot in the opening. I ended up ordering a full size larger, and now they’re perfect. They are very comfortable, and I love the appearance.

I love these shoes. I wore them brand new to a theme park all day and no problems! Very comfortable. I have had them for a month now and no tears in the shoe.

That shoe was almost perfect. The fabric on top of the toes was too tight for my feet. I had to return them. They are so cute in style . I was really hoping that they would work so I could have shoes to run around in for fun.
