Great shoes! Gave as a gift to my aunt who loves to go for walks. She loves them!

Very comfortable. I sized up as other reviews suggested and am glad I did. Generous room in the toe box, cushy sole. I don't know how durable they will be but I think they will work great for general kick-around workout shoes.

These are very cute shoes. I have wide feet and I got a wide but it was not wide enough. I’m wearing it anyway and just stretching out the upper. I’m sure they won’t last that long because of it but they were only 40 bucks. I don’t love the design where The tongue is part of the shoe but it looks cute when you have it on

It seems this shoe runs a smidgen small. I love how light the shoe is. I would buy it again at a slightly larger size.

Nice sneakers, very light and comfortable! But I have to say I agree with the other reviewers who said you should order at least a half size up. I'm almost always a 7 and the 7.5 fits perfect, length-wise. Couldn't be any shorter. I have wide feet, and the wide width is ample. I'm not sure if I needed the wide with the soft, stretchy material on top, but I bought them to be safe as I can't wear very many brands of footwear because of my wide feet. I would've given 5 stars for overall if it weren't for the fact that my socks get snagged as I pull the shoes on. These sneakers are essentially pull-ons, and I'm not fond of that feature. Other than that though, I feel they are a good quality sneaker for the price and they were what I was looking for comfort wise.
I'd also recommend:
Adidas, Keen (sometimes!) Merrill, Dansko

I use these shoes as my walking shoes. Usually walk from 2-5 miles in these shoes and have so far found them comfortable and reasonably well cushioned. I use them on mainly sidewalk surfaces and some park surfaces which are softer. Would not use them for hiking in rocky terrain. But to simply walk around the neighborhood, I am enjoying them. The website says they run small so I went up a half size. The heel fits okay and there is a little extra room in 5he toe area. Not enough to cause rubbing but my actual size may have worked.

I bought these shoes for walking - daily 5 miles. Love that they are light wait but unfortunately the right shoe does not fit correctly at the heel and has caused blisters. I will try another pair hoping that it is just a defect with the current pair.

I have very narrow feet and finding a nice looking athletic shoe for a reasonable price is tough. This shoe is really lightweight and comfortable. The only thing keeping this from being 5 stars is that the color options are pretty blah, and it's still a little wide for me. The description for this shoe recommended going up a half size for the length, and I will echo that. If I had stayed with my usual size, the shoes would be too short. Despite that, however, it's still a comfortable shoe.

Really love the look of this shoe & look forward to train in them. Recommend going 1/2 size up, as fit is a little too snug for my liking.

These shoes are light and sleek looking. The size is exactly true to my shoe size. The one drawback, and I hope it will improve over time, is that the shoes are not really slip on. I have to use a shoe horn -- something I haven't done in years. Once on they feel comfortable.

These are super cute on! They make everything I wear look even better, I always feel like they complete whatever I'm wearing. Comfort wise, the footbed is super comfy and very roomy which allows for good toe-splay. However, due to fitting wide, I find I have to tighten them maybe more than they're intended for and it causes the tongue portion under the laces to bunch up and press on the top of my foot uncomfortably. The solution is I have to leave them slightly loose, but overall since I love everything else about them, they're still a keeper.

I always fluctuate between 8.5 in NB and 9 (mostly for the running shoes). I had pairs of the FuelCore Coast and those were 8.5, and recently bought the Roavs and 8.5 also fit great. These are too small at 8.5 so I am re-ordering for a 9!

A year ago I had foot surgery and it changed how my shoes fit. Additionally I now have nerve pain in one toe from the surgery. I bought these shoes because they were the closest thing I could find to New Balance Fuelcore WXAGLSM2, which were perfect on my new feet and which have apparently been discontinued. My foot is narrow, but now I need to wear a medium to stop any toe-rubbing. So the laces on the FuelCore NERGIZ help snug up the shoe, but they don't do the whole trick for me. I love the super light weight and overall, they feel good, but I wouldn't dare wear them without socks.

I would but these sneakers again but maybe in a smaller size. I order a 6.5 but they buckle on sides unless I wear thick short socks. If I try to wear them without socks or with thinner short socks, they tend to open looking like flaps, which I don't like. Despite that little disappointment I still find them very comfortable. I could not exchange them because I am traveling and really needed the sneakers and the comfort.

I think if I had bought a half size larger they would have been perfect. I bought thinner exercise socks and they are working out better.

Extremely narrow shoe even in a wide width. My last pair did stretch out after a while so I'm going to keep them after they stretch they are comfortable.

Loved everything about the shoe, but due to my foot being wide at the ball of my foot, it ran over the side of the shoe too much and hurt, so I had to send them back. I have always had New Balance shoes, but this one wasn't quite wide enough unfortunately.

These shoes run very small but are comfortable once you have the right size. I have an old pair of New Balance in an 8.5. I ordered these in a 9 and still had to return them because they were too small. I ended up with a size ten. They do have laces but I don't feel like the laces serve a purpose or are needed. They are a nice slip on shoe for casual wear.

Love these lightweight shoes, purchased for daily walks. Purchased normal shoe size, but these are a bit short. Other wearers say they stretch. Hope they are right.

I needed everyday-wear shoes that were casual but not hard-core athletic shoes. I hadn't seriously considered New Balance before because their products were focused on running shoes, etc. I found the NERGIZE shoes after my podiatrist recommended New Balance. I have hard to fit feet, with a high instep and forward- placed arch. I also need a wide toe box. I bought these in my usual size (9.5), and they were perfect. I have arthritic knees, and the support they gave helped me through long periods of walking.
