I basically wear these shoes everywhere.... around town, walking the dog, working out at the gym. I love that they are lightweight and provide a bit of cushioning. However, I have a narrow foot but in this particular style the medium is good. I bought a pair of black ones at the beginning of the year and got this blue pair when they went on sale. I ordered the same size I did the first time. They are a bit wider and I feel like a little less supportive. I don't understand . But I will wear them but never purchase online again. I'll go to the store to try them on before I buy.

I was disappointed in the sneakers. The inner soles do not offer the support I need for a bunion on my right foot. I wore the sneakers twice and experienced moderate to severe pain at my bunion site (in spite of ordering a wide width!!).
I'd also recommend:
I'm at a lost...... none seem to be the fit for me.

Ok shoe for the price. Ended up getting a better NB running shoe.

I love these shoes because they are so light! Not as much arch support as I had expected from New Balance, but with additional inserts, perfect for running running around. Perfect for the gym but not sure I'd wear them for serious walking. These are perfect for my purposes!

Zappos customer service is excellent. I received my shoes the next day. It is very easy to return shoes too by having easy computer access to print their return label.
The photo of the base of the shoe makes it look like it has white splatters, but that’s not accurate. The splatters are gold and match the gold edging on the “N” which ties it all together and results in an attractive pair of shoes.

basic, comfortable fit. True to size for every other pair of New Balance I own.

I really like this shoe but unfortunately, they didn't fit well enough with my orthotics. I thought the cushion and style were great and was sorry they didn't fit. They had to go back.

These fit great and provide cushion and support in the the heel. They lack the foam cushion near the ball of the foot. They are perfect for walking and light exercise.

Returning these, they were a little too narrow and tight for me. My feet ru n a little wide, but I don't usually have to order wide shoes. If I put on socks with any kind of cushioning (not just my no-show light socks) they were too tight and my feet were constricted. It's too bad because they seemed like a good middle ground between and athletic shoe and a casual daily sneaker. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with wide feet though.

I bought this pair of NB athletic shoes to replace another pair of NB that was very similar in look/style. While the shoe is very comfortable, I still need to buy orthotic arch supports as the support is almost non-existent to me. The best feature of this shoe is that it is streamlined and does not have that clunky feel that you get with most other athletic shoes. I would definitely buy them again.

Overall the shoe is good. I have wide feet so the Wide Width was a great option.

I have arthritis and have had several foot surgeries and have been searching for a shoe that would not only fit but be reasonably comfortable. These shoes do both quite well, but they could use a little more support in the arch.

I purchased these thinking they were the same as a pair I already have, and love, but they weren't. They are similar, but definitely not as comfortable as my other pair. The shoe box is very narrow, but every time I wear them, they are getting better.

I wear a 7.5. This shoe was way too tight and small. I even tried wearing around my house to see if it would stretch, it did not. I wanted to get it again in a size 8, but its out of stock. So I would ordered it a half size up or maybe even a full size up.

I like the overall look and feel of the shoe, but it was way too narrow to be a medium (like in all the other shoes I wear). It actually felt like the toe box tapered toward the front as well. The shoe felt about a 1/2 size too small. My big toe touched the front even in a super thin running sock. Unfortunately I had to send these back.

I have been wearing New Balance Fresh Foam style WARISCS1 for over a year and love the comfort as I am on my feet all day. This shoe looks the same but lacks the comfort. The back of the shoe has a hard padding that rubs your heel. I have worn these for several minutes each day for a week but could not stand it so I am returning. Thanks for your easy return policy!

These were subpar New Balance shoes. They’re definitely on the lower quality tier. They’re not as comfortable and have much less support than most pairs of New Balance.

little tight, but keep trying to break them in a while longer. But i do like the color and style. Just wish i could have tried them on before I bought them.
