I use them for a Zumba class and I don't think they really have enough support. I like the style of them and how light they are but I would like more support.

I had to return these shoes. I ordered the size shoe I normally wear. I couldn't begin to stuff my foot in this shoe. I would go up maybe 1.5 sizes....

I have always bought NB in my Army days for running but a little disappointed in these, didn't expect them to be so flimsy . The fit is ok but when I walk the the inner sole is rubbing against my arch, will see what happens when I walk in them for a while. You get what you pay for I guess

So, size up a half-size. Also, I have narrow feet, and the standard width is pretty wide, so I can't really size up without making the width problem worse. Bummer.

The shoes were ordered for my wife a size larger than normal because they don't come in a EE wide. They were reasonably comfortable and very light, a key feature for my wife. Everything was fine until my wife took them off after wearing them awhile and found the tops of her toes hurt. Apparently, the tops of the shoes rest on and rub the tops of her toes.

I am 9 months pregnant and work as a cocktail waitress, I was hoping these would be comfortable for my feet, unfortunately they are not! I've only gained 19 pounds in my pregnancy so it's not much of a weight difference, I can only wear these shoes for about 3 hours before my feet start hurting. They're great for long days if sitting and walking are a combo but my job doesn't give me that luxury so I would not buy this product if you need them for the reason I needed them.

I was told by my trainer that I should try these shoes when I go to the gym. This is the first time wearing anything from New Balance and these shoes have no support at all. My feet were hurting more in these shoes than they were in my other shoes. I bought two pair and I'm returning one, I can't return the other one cuz I've worn them. Too bad

For me they did not work. Ran small, but the weight of them were nice. Hardly noticed they were in your hand.

These fit ok, and I've worn them quite a few times over the last several months with no issues at all, but somehow they rubbed a sore on my left foot near the heel a few days ago. I'm a bit afraid to wear them again after the sore heals.

I agree with the person above about the laces. I even tied a toddler knot in mine and they still came undone. My other complaint is that as lovely as that low cut look is, there is not a single no show sock in the world that will not show in these shoes. I am wearing black liners with mine. The shoes are wonderfully comfortable. I am not used to slip ons which these are, but that is me...I like the shoe, but gave lower stars because of the low cut so socks show and those awful laces.

I like how light these are and surprisingly comfy the footbed is. True to size. I also like the low side profile look of these shoes. However, what really bothers me is the laces. Be prepared to tie your shoes every 5 min. as the laces come undone constantly! Grrrr!!! At this price point make it with reliable grippy laces . Had to switch them out.

I have bought three pairs of these shoes, and I haven't gotten a good fit, yet. I keep buying hoping that they fill fit. The 7 1/2 are too big, so I stuff them with Kleenex. The 7s are too small, so I just fold my toes up. Maybe one of these days, I will get the right fit!

I love these so much. They're the epitome of fashion. But they're painful. They're so narrow. They're made more for a longer, narrow foot, maybe people with longer toes. My mom loved them so much she had me order the same exact pair. They're comfortable for her. She has a more traditional average foot and even then I had to order half a size up and wide. I'm not sure why this doesn't work on me but its just not smooth and straight as the running shoes I normally get from NB.

I'm hoping that once I get the shoe broken in it will be more comfortable. Maybe the socks I was wearing didn't help? The back of the shoe kept rubbing my crease on my heel. I was wearing short socks so that might make a difference. Very comfortable in the toe box though! I think they will be great for more of a dressy sneaker than a outside one because the tread is not as aggressive.

Too small - had to return. My toes were in pain. My size isn't available so i can't say if the right size would actually be comfortable. As others mentioned, the tongue is a bit weird. If you try to tie the laces tighter, the tongue folds over and looks a little weird.

These are nice shoes but different material than the other Fuel cores. They were tight in my foot. Very pretty shoe, though.

The exterior of the shoe is trendy and attractive. The inside feels virtually empty. No support. I mean z-e-r-o cushioning. I take a fitness class at the gym where I needed a 'gym shoe' for cross training activities. I tried these on at home when they arrived and I could feel the kitchen tile through the shoe!! It is more like a bedroom slipper. A no go for me.

This is a comfortable and cute shoe but it is cut small. I recommend sizing up at least a 1/2 size.
