These shoes are so comfortable. I ordered a half size larger as recommended and they fit perfectly. I'm very happy with them.

True to size, unfortunately B width fits me better, but it's not available. D is "close enough" with sweat socks. Quality is good as I have come to expect from NewBalance

I have bought these every year for years. I always wear a 7 in shoes. In these I wore a 6 1/2, until this year. This year the 7 fits perfect.

This shoe fit perfectly. New Balance has a great stable feel to their sneakers and this style has been one of my favorites for last couple years. Fit is nice, comfortable, and not a shoe that makes your foot look large. Good arch support, true to size. These shoes typically do not wear out like some other brands, but I refresh them annually to keep a fresh pair to change into.

I have been wearing this style New Balance shoe for several DECADES now. They fit so well and last a long time. ( I wear them during the day and to go walking for exercise.)

Really cute walking shoe, white with light blue trim. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 shoe, depending on manufacturer , so I did order up a size to 8.5 but unfortunately my toes hit the front edge of the shoes. Since I like them, I am hoping to exchange them for a 9 as soon as I finish this review!

I love these shoes, especially in cold/windy/rainy weather. They fit and feel really good and help keep my feet warm when it's cold and help keep out water. I buy these same shoes over & over because I love them so much.

These are my go to style as a rule. But his pair has a bunched up lining on the side of the left foot . It was not a large wrinkle but because I need to use an insert in the left shoe it hit at exactly the wrong place.

I still have my old pair and the new one was different. The toe box was narrower and my heel box was bigger. Unfortunately I had to return the shoe because my heel can slip out easily. It seemed like a nice shoe though!

I'm disappointed . Tthe sneakers are a 10 1/2 D--my usual size, and the same size as my last pair of New Balance sneakers. But this pair is really cut too wide. In order for them to fit I have to wear 2 pairs of sox. Yes, the secondary pair is very thin --very light, black business sox. But the fact is my white cotton gym sox are not thick enough for me to wear this particular par of sneakers comfortably--and in the past they always have been. I love New Balance and I love Ll:Bean, but this pair really doesnt quite make the grade. My feet havent shrunk, I'm sure--all my other shows fit the same as they always do..

Although I've had several pairs of NB over the years, and they always fit great, I had to return this pair. There's sort of an odd cutout on both sides of the top and the stitching at that point inside the shoe rubs on my littie toe--only on my left foot, but there you go. I wear a Women's 11D, and the size/width were fine.

These white ones, with a little bit of blue trim, fit like a dream and are extremely comfortable. I only wish there was more "mesh" (?) fabric in the uppers for additional air flow in the hot summer months. Otherwise, they are 100% perfect (just like the ones in black that I ordered many months ago). I highly recommend them!!

I ordered a wide but these shoes have a somewhat pointy toe so they fit like a regular. Had to return because my feet hurt at the end of the day.

These shoes are comfortable and fit well. they have a little splash of color around the logo which I like. The material on the uppers give the foot support. I would recommend these sneakers to anyone wanting a good pair of shoes for an active lifestyle.

If I had tried these on in a store I would not have purchased them. I have owned many New Balance shoes over the years, but these feel narrow in the toe, and yet my heel slips up and down in the back.

I have narrow, flat feet so fitting running shoes can be challenging. These were a half size smaller than what I normally wear so I returned for a 9 1/2. They come in narrow and the removable inserts are must haves for my orthotics. No break-in needed to be just great. And my feet don’t look like skis!

I’ve worn this version shoe for years, however these shoes are a tad shorter than my others. Uncomfortable as my toes touch the front. Weird. They changed something.

I’ve wore New Balance for years. It was time for a new pair, but these were so uncomfortable. I wore them less than an hour and kept getting cramps in the souls of my feet.

These are great. I prefer leather shoes and these fit the bill. This is one of the few places I can find narrow width shoes off any kind. I'll keep buying here.

I have worn the NB cross-trainer shoes for years. They never disappoint, even though the model number changes from time to time. I walk a couple of miles almost every day and usually wear these shoes. I bought another pair in black, and they are just as good. Order up 1/2 size, as LL Bean suggests, and you should have a perfect fit.
