I actually needed new sneakers during the pandemic but I could not find my size in New Balance walking or training shoes in white. I'm so relieved and thrilled to have a new pair, although I should have gotten a D width instead of EE. Great shoes for the money.

Worth the buy. I love how comfortable they are and super stylish. My feet through the day weren't tired at all. Give this a thumbs up.

NB shoes always fits my feet, true to size. I don't have to try them on before I buy NB, I buy online. I trust New Balance.

I do all of my everyday tasks with your fabulous sneakers. They hug my feet all day and make me feel all powerful and ready for anything.

Use for walking. I have three pair of New Balance shoes to alternate in daily walks and activities. I wear while officiating track meets which means I am on my feet for as few as 3 and as long as 8-10 hours at a stretch. Good cushioning.

I love that I can tie laces once and they never come undone. I wear an 8W, and the New Balance sneakers are always the most comfortable.

I just got away from these horrible New Balance 608v5 sneakers. These things are godawful - crushing my toes, terrible fit.
Like many people, my feet are slightly different sizes. No matter if I went up a half size or down a half size in these, they never, EVER fit well. One foot would always be slipping out of the shoe, while the other shoe would be crushing my other foot.
I have fallen arches which have led to wide feet. I was buying the NBs in a wide size, and they were still crushing my pinky toe. Because of my fallen arches, I use orthotics to support my arches, so I really can't comment on the arch support. But these are the worst sneakers I have ever worn. EVER!!!
The only nice thing I'll say about them is that they look good - they have the nice leather look to the uppers, the way (I think) a sneaker should.
Stay away from these!

So far so good as I was a long time Nike fan ~ 40 years and too woke so I tried NB and everything is perfect.

Living with osteoarthritis is no walk in the park. My knees and the little bones in my feet are loving these shoes. They give me good support while also being flexible. Perfect fit

There is a big piece of memory foam that slowly adjusts to the big pad of your foot, right before your toes as you step into the shoe. It is a reliably wide shoe. I walk in it and I know what to expect. This shoe has not let me down.. I wanted more from the 624 shoe, but it was a little too narrow where this one sized the same is not. I know for sure, because I ordered both shoes the same size and sent the 624 back.

These shoes have great cushioning, which I need for 8 hours a day on a concrete floor. I put on 12 - 20,000 steps per shift, and my feet feel good at the end of the day. Time will tell on their durability. I have added a slightly stiff aftermarket insole, but the cushioning is still great.

LOVE these for work, I work at a hospital and my feet do not ever get sore/tired while wearing these all day. True to size. Going to by the pink when it's not sold out anymore.

This past summer I bought many pairs of shoes but returned them all. They just didn't fit my narrow size 11 foot. So, I went to your website, and ordered the same shoe that I had ordered a while back. Great fit. It is very difficult to find a women's 11 Narrow.

I absolutely love my New Balance tennis shoes. I have been buying them from L.L. Bean for years and will continue to do so. I highly recommend New Balance and L.L. Bean!!

I've worn this style NB shoe for about five years. Usually a new pair every 9-12 months.
It's getting very hard to find shoes that are leather.not mesh.
I use them for both work and "Saturday" wear and find them comfortable. Because they are leather they keep my feet clean, warm and dry. Mesh shoes just don't work for my every day wearing.
My previous style number was difficult to find this time around so I chose this model.
Basically they are equivalent to my preferred model EXCEPT for the soles.
These are promoted as "work" shoes and they have a more "indoor" sole pattern.very smooth slip resistant style- not the more rugged walking or sports type of sole.
I will be keeping them mostly because leather sneakers are getting pretty hard to find.

Shoes fit well. I added arch supports for better comfort but still well worth the cost.

I found it really easy to find my 14 double light online and they got delivered very quickly. This is so much better than shopping all over on a store rack!
