These shoes are almost perfect. Was able to walk out the door on the first day I tried them which is unsual for me. I have wide feet and I believed what the other reviews indicated the shoes run small so instead of a 7 1/2 I ordered an 8 and they are great. May order another pair.

I normally wear New Balance but Brooks are good also.

This is the 3rd of 4th pair of New Balance I've worn for my daily walks. My walking shoes last less than 6 months since I walk 3.5 to 5.5 miles/day. This is the first pair that feels snug and a bit shorter in the toe box.

These are nice sneaks, but with the distances that I run, I found that my soles started to get sore and tired at mile 3...which is tough if you got 5, 6 ,7 more miles to go. I've always had good luck with Newbies though, so it might be a one off.

I bought the light slate and its a really good looking sneaker, no color it doesn't go with. I went from a size 9 to a 10 in order for these to fit correctly. Very comfortable for the hour walk I do each day & general on the go.

The fit is very comfortable. I like how they don't rub at my heel like some new shoes do. I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes cushion my feet; they feel great.

I love these, I have a bad back, these sneakers totally help me. I can walk all day in them. I lace the crazy colors too. So incredibly comfortable.

This is my 3rd pair of New Balance 680 v6. They're great looking and perfect for working out at the gym, power walks, and casual wear. Plus, my orthotics fit in them.

I've been doing 3-mile runs a few times a week for a couple months in these - as well as often wearing them during the day. They have been so comfortable from the very first wear and are still in amazing condition. The wide is nice and wide with enough space in the toe box, yet still appropriately snug in the middle and heel areas. Lightweight and breathable too.

The "old" New Balance is back! This tennis shoe was like an old friend, with the softer top, a lighter color for reflecting heat in summer, and color choices besides WHITE. So comfortable. The ONLY thing I would like better about this shoe would be having the "stretch" new balance laces with it.

Recommended by my podiatrist, to wear inserts for bunions. Stylish, and comfortable. Sticking with New Balance always!

These are "the original" NB's-the ones I've been buying for years. Wonderful shoes. Best of all they fit my Moby Dick-size feet [9 1/2W-try finding a comfortable shoe in THAT size?] without aggravating my bunion. Nice wide toe box. NB: Please, please keep making shoes in this style.
I'd also recommend:
Tried Asics which sometimes accomodates my feet.

Was having trouble at work as IM on my feet all day. I like pretty shoes. So I was going with another brand. They ended up giving me calluses. Asked my nurse friends which brand they wore and they said new balance. So I found these and they are so bright and pretty !! And they fixed my foot problem almost immediately!!!! Love them!

This shoe is great if you underpronate. I just wish it came in black.

Love, love, love these sneakers. I have a hard time getting closed toed shoes to fit/be comfortable. I have a fused toe on my right foot and a bunion on the big toe of my left foot. The sneakers are soft enough to not rub my bunion and are extremely comfortable. They offer just the right amount of support; not too much and definitely not too little. I love the sporty look of these shoes. I highly recommend them!

Comfortable! While I haven’t worn them yet outside, they feel wonderful on. I’ve had New Balance sneakers for decades...since they started manufacturing them. After all, I’m a Mainer!!!!

These shoes were really comfy except they didn’t have enough cushioning under the toes for me.

I had a pair of these before and walked the soles off of them. I normally am a size 10 or 10.5 however I bought these in a 12 so that my orthotics will fit. They have worked out well. We walk about 9 miles most mornings and these are my go to shoes. I love the pink.

These are SO comfortable and really cute! I have very narrow flat heels, but over 2 pregnancies have developed bunions. I had the foam NB previously and liked how light and thin the fabric was, but couldn’t walk that long without them hitting and my bunions really hurting in the evening. We live in a walking city, so before COVID I was averaging 5-8 miles a day while either pushing a stroller or wearing a baby. Over the past few weeks I’ve ordered and returned at least 6 different styles of NB, always getting a 7.5 W, some where super tight, others way too big and clunky looking. I’m so happy I ordered these (and that they weren’t the most expensive pair I tried).

Love this shoe! Finally found one that fits and feels great too. Love the combination of navy/pink. There’s not much arch support but that’s fine by me.

This is one of the most comfortable pair of athletic shoes I've ever owned. This is my second pair. I ordered this one after the first ones got worn out.

Love these shoes...I’d best love then, since this is the 2nd pair, same model, same size, same color that I now have bought twice. They feel good to my rather gnarley feet. In fact, they even look CUTE! Cute is no small “feat” for a size 12 Wide. They are comfy for aerobics, walking the pooch and just casual wear.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, Clarks
