The blind monkey that Zappos hired to fulfill my order sent me women's golf shoes. Not only did I order men's shoes 8(!) sizes larger than what showed up, but I ordered Grey Suede, but received White & Neon Green. Swing and a miss.

I bought the New Balance trainers because I need a high arch support with a wide toe box. I tried them on and they were so painful that I removed them within one hour.
I'd also recommend:

This show was the shoddiest piece of manufacturing I have ever experienced. The tread began to separate from the soles about a week after purchase; I glued one portion down only to have another portion separate, and then another. Terrible workmanship.

bought a NB waterproof sneaker 7.5 wide which fit very well. This is the same stated size but much larger.

The bag enclosed a shoe box tattered. I looked on the shoe for the words "Rollbar" I told the customer rep at least 3 times I wanted a shoe with a rollbar. He said he would make sure it was there. The shipped shoe had no rollbar in the shoe. It was futile to try the shoes on, when my order was not as expected. I await my new shoe in the return process. signed: Disappointed customer

The exterior synthetic material on these was extremely uncomfortable/thick. I ordered two sizes, received one and had to immediately return it. When the other one arrives that will go back too, sorry but these were very uncomfortable

This particular pair did not fit and, unfortunately need to be returned for an 11.5 wide if in stock. If not available then I will return for a refund

The NB 600 series leather shoes used to be good quality shoes but not anymore. The last 3 pairs I purchased all wore out prematurely in the same areas. The stitching around the front toes always comes apart way before the soles are worn. I won't be buying them anymore.

Shoes felt narrower and smaller than my previous 608 4e. Toe box is is smaller and narrower. Shoes were uncomfortable. These shoes are not the same as my previous three pairs. Disappointed with New Balance.

The manufacturers need to have standards for sizing; Shoes are either too big or too small. My husband is 78 years old and has worn size 101/2 or 11 his entire life. It is impossible to buy shoes without trying them on in the store.

I have been wearing new balance for many years - 813's and they were great. When I looked for them recently I couldn't find them so I ordered another one. I ordered wide which I have always done and when I got them, they were so tight they pinched my toes. I sent them back, very uncomfortable.

I ordered a 13-Wide. These do not fit properly. Even though they're marked as being a size 13, they fit like a size 12.
