If you are wearing wide, the elastic strap on the top is kind of squeezing feet.

These shoes fit well and are comfortable but it seems like there should be another pair of lace holes to keep the heel from moving when you walk.These aren't ballet slippers but athletic shoes which must work with the foot not against it.

Loved the look. Runs a little narrow, I've never purchased a wide shoe. Difficult to get on until you break them in.

I ordered the violet glo color and liked them pretty well. I got a size 10 D--unfortunately they were too narrow in the upper part of the toe box. I do not have really wide feet--sometimes I do not require D size so it is my opinion the shoe is just narrow--or narrows to much in the upper part of the toe box. While there was adequate room between my foot and the outside of the shoe the inside rode very snug to my foot and against my big toe in both shoes, this was uncomfortable. The front of the toe had plenty of room so size (length) wise it seemed true to size. They were very lightweight and seemed nicely cushioned. I just can't wear them so I will be returning them.

At first, the shoe felt comfortable but because it does not have traditional lacing I could not get a tighter fit. The result was that as I walked the back of the shoe would smack back against my heel. It was very painful that every step was met with a thump to my heel, I had to give them away because I could not use them. The shoe overall is wide, and I like that for my toe box but the wideness at the heel without the ability to tighten the shoe was just awful, there's too much space and it resulted in the smacking of my heel.

Very stiff. Not good to move in.
Looks good style wise but like so many of these shoes now that are not pliable, not letting your foot move normally.

Did not feel comfortable and not a very good support. It doesn't feel like it will last for someone that stands a 12 hour shift.

Attractive shoe- upper material is textile- comfortable and breathable-but does not provide enough lateral support for me. I am pronating when I walk in this shoe.

Attractive shoe BUT-the upper material is ALL textile- it is breathable and probably good for hot weather- but provides too little lateral support. My feet slide side to side in this shoe and I pronate when walking.

The wide width is still pretty narrow and does not fit compared to other brands wide width sizes.

I love New balance shoes, have had over 20 pair's
But this one is not for me, if I was doing shape pivoting the ankle support would dig into the my ankles

Shoe runs small, but is comfortable enough. The back is oddly shaped and makes it hard to put on. I wore mine twice and the rubber at the bottom already had a rip. I probably wouldn't buy again.

Ordered the correct size, 10.5, but, literally, my toes are touching the front of the shoe, causing discomfort just walking. Absolutely no way someone could exercise in them. Very disappointed, don't feel like I got my money's worth.

I love new balance! I usually wear the new balance nergize foam core but that style doesn't have as many colors as the roav. I was excited to try the roav and bought the maroon in my normal new balance size-9. The roav were so tight I could hardly get them on. I wore them around the house to see if they would loosen up and both my feet went numb. I guess I'll have to go back to the nergize and just buy the plain colors. Such a bummer.

Much narrower toes than other brands that I wear (Columbia), but very comfortable sole.
Also, my toes were wet after only a few steps walking on wet floor, while I can walk in light rain without getting wet with my other fully breathable sneakers.

I've never had a running shoe where there essentially was no "tongue". I'm not sure if all shoes made like this run small, but for me, this shoe did. Return was easy as we have a NB store in town

the ribbons that hold the base of the laces tore within the month, super flimsy, when I tried to resew it myself it completely shredded. I love the look and the comfort but it's useless if you can't tie it.

Read reviews and felt corrected size would fit. Runs about a half size smaller than normal size. Had no arch support and that was one of the reasons I selected New Balance. Haven't had a pair of NB in years. Returned without trying another size.
