Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

I have very narrow feet and these shoes fit pretty well. My three star review has to do with the cheap plastic lace grommets used for the top two lace holes. These grommets failed in the first month of use. The grommet has two holes and the plastic partition broke such that the lace jammed in the slit between the holes making it impossible to pull the lace in or out. A simple round metal eyelet would have prevented this problem. I find this chintzy construction totally unacceptable in a shoe costing north of $170.

My husband has tried others through the years but always come back to New Balance and this shoe in particular. They are the most comfortable hes been able to find and they hold up well. Also I think they have a good look.

I walk 4-5 days a week for 3.5 - 5 miles a day, about half the time on concrete or asphalt and the rest on grass or dirt trails. These shoes were comfortable immediately. Provide good support and cushioning and the tread pattern is adequate for traction on modest trails. The only negative is the cost.

Most comfortable shoe in my 67 years. Thankful they still make extra wide. Never spent that much on a pair before, but if putting the best tires on your car is important, how important are the cushions for your body? Very, especially for the elderly. More than satisfied.

I am 72 very active but had two back surgeries and sever sciatica. I bought a pair of these and thought the world had changed. I walked Disneyland with my grand kids for 12 hours and went 8 miles for the first time in 15 years. I out walked the whole family I came home and bought another pair in a different color. These are the best. Only buy the American made ones. Worth every dime.

I have been wearing New Balance 990's for over 25 years ... although the name may have changed during those 3 decades.
Still the best shoe ever!

How can you sell these shoes for the price you and justify it? Because they are made in the USA? Must be why the insoles wear out in less than 4 months. Do not buy these shoes BUYER BEWARE!

I have a difficult situation with my feet and these sneakers are the most comfortable I have ever worn. I have purchased many pairs over the years. My only disappointment is that it seems that New Balance seems to be cutting back on the wide width which I need in Navy.

Well made sneaker with support for arches and heels. But the main reason I paid the high price was to get the 4EEE width, not generally available in the less expensive NB offerings at LL Bean

My son is finally having comfortable footwear. These are terrific. Before he was squeezing into regular width and experiencing foot pain every day.

I have used this version of the show for over 7 years now and have definitely enjoyed the durability and availability. I was disappointed that the grey color was not available for over 6 months.
