Exactly what I was looking for - correct fit and a neutral color (white). There wasn't enough arch support for me, so I added an insert

These were very supportive and comfy, but they were just too stiff to keep. I felt like a zombie when I walked.

New Balance the first to kinesiologically design shoes for the athlete. Great shoes. Great company.

I walk a lot at work; I would say anywhere from 10-20 miles a night. I've only worn these one night at work so far, but they felt great all night. Brought another pair with just in case, but didn't need to change them out. Made me realize just how worn my old shoes were. I need a wide width, and usually end up having to go with a men's wide for tennis shoes/boots, because for whatever reason women's wide width just are pathetic. These were perfect in both length and width. First time I've worn this brand, and so far very happy with them. Hopefully they'll hold up and last awhile.

The shoe is great, L.L. Bean has failed. I have been ordering these shoes in a 6D for many years. Sizing changed, so I went up to a 6 1/2D - I know it was a sizing change and not my foot because I put the soles of my old shoes up to the new. For months, I've been trying to purchase another pair or two, but they no longer seem to carry my size in a wide width. Sad to say, L.L. Bean, I will be going elsewhere. You've always been my "go to" retailer for many reasons. Going forward, not so much.

Because of the wider toe, shoe feels larger. Great for me due to a bone spur on my little toe on the outside. Have bad knees and the shoes are helping with the pain. Can walk longer and they stabilize my gait. No arch support, but that is perfect for me. Will only order these shoes in the future.

I have a wide foot and have difficulty finding shoes with wide enough toe box. The fit me perfectly. I love the foam insert, just the right amount of cushioning without feeling like walking on pillows. Good grip on the outsole. I had a little heel slip but I used lace lock technique with the laces, the included laces were long enough for this and it took care of the heel slip. I think I found my favorite shoe.

I have been wearing these for many many years & was very satisfied until the last ones. We saw black marks on our hardwood & bath room floors. When I stopped wearing them the black streaks stopped. Quality control?

My toes were at the end of the shoe with no room for my foot to expand during the day. Width is good. No arch support either.

These have been my go to shoes for many years. I need a wide shoe with a tall toebox. I can fit a comfy insole in these shoes to make them softer on the bottom of my feet and still have enough room so my toes are comfortable. Will continue to buy this style.

New Balance are not what they use to be; the arch support is mediocre, the narrow width is still loose. On the right sneaker, my toe hits the end and I've always ordered and worn comfortably a 10N. Sad that these sneaks r not what they once were.

I have been wearing a version of this sneaker for 20 years and always bought 81/2 D (med) and they have fit great. The last two pairs I purchased seem to be too short compared to the old 8 1/2Ds. Not sure If there is quality problem with manufacturing. The label on all pairs say they were made in Indonesia, but the newer pairs don't fit the same. I never really experienced "break in" issues with these sneaker in the past, with respect to sizing. When new, the sneakers are a bit stiff, but comfortable. The two newer pairs rub on my toes and are tight across the top of my foot. I lace my sneaker the same way, but something is different. I will "order up" 1/2 a size next time and try a 9 D. Maybe my feet are getting bigger with age, but my dress shoe size hasn't changed. I still think New Balance are great shoes, if the fit is correct.

I have always liked the New Balance Trainers. The fit is good and they are very comfortable. I'm especially appreciative that I can get them in a wide width and that they have a traditional look. (I'm not into bright and bizarre colors on my feet!)

Everything about this pair of shoes meets the quality and feel of other New Balance Shoes that were purchased.

The sneakers fit really well - I wear size 9M and purchased 9M. My feet are pretty normal. I walked around in them for a bit, but I haven't had the chance to try them at the gym yet (COVID). I'm sure they'll be fine based on how good they felt just putting them on, Cute too!

I love these and have been wearing them for years [5 or 10 or more]. I was distressed when they were out of stock last summer and was so happy to find them back in stock this summer.
