Very disappointed in the wear on these. I’ve had them less than 2 months and they’re not my every day sneakers. I maybe wear them a few days/week at most.

For me these are very cute looking - however they are also very difficult to put on - a pull tab on the back would help a lot - I wear a womens 11-11.5 ordered the 11 wide and could have easily gone to a size 12 wide - these run narrow for me anyway - I am sadly returning - still hunting for a shoe I can wear - its very hard with my feet - thank goodness for zappos ease of returns !

Not enough cushion and zero arch support. My heel slipped a lot.

quality of the shoe not worth what you pay. The fabric will wear quickly. IT is a one season shoe

I tryed these because I have a very wide foot and a previous review said it worked for them. My foot felt like it was being squeezed to death. Also the amount of support I like was lacking

Can’t really tell if they are comfortable because they were too small. Other reviews said they ran true to size and they did not for me. I put in for an exchange for a bigger size and have not received them, so I can’t really give a good review. Disappointed I still have not gotten the replacement or even an email that they have been shipped. Will probably just cancel the order at this point. Won’t be ordering anymore shoes online again.

I have a hard time with shoes, I was hoping by reading the reviews these shoes would work for me, but they were not comfortable on my feet.

I don't feel awesome in these sneakers. However, I have worn them outside so I understand that I cannot exchange. They are hard to put on and feel very tight.

This is my third pair of NB Fresh Foam Roav shoes, so I'll add some historical perspective. I noticed a difference right away with this latest pair's different material in the outer toebox area--a good thing, since my big toe has popped through the old material--and the laces are beefier and offer better ability to stabilize my feet. Unfortunately, the fit of the shoe has changed drastically: I thought I had misordered narrow shoes instead of my usual medium width. The new shoes are restrictive-tight across the entire arch area, and very uncomfortable. I might dare to order the wide width just to check if this is a new design. Not sure what happened to this shoe, NB. I suppose this means I am back to my quest for a great basic walking shoe.

These shoes are pictured on several models in the Athleta online catalog, which prompted me to purchase them. O love the black heel cup with a thin collar, but the integrated tongue, although a good idea, leaves a good deal of material to buckle under the laces, causing pressure and friction points on the top of the foot. Because of the tongue issues, I think the B with might work on a VERY wide foot. The idea is good, though, and with a thinner more stretchy material, it would be perfect. I also felt the footbed tilted my feet slightly into a pronated position.

I ordered these for running, not just for everyday wear. But when I actually ran in them, they didn’t provide much cushioning or spring. After a few unsuccessful runs, I went to a running store to get a new, more supportive, springier pair. When I showed these New Balance shoes to the people who worked there (who are all experienced runners), they said they’d never seen this style before. So I question whether these New Balance shoes are even really running shoes. On a positive note, they are really stylish - especially the back - and I do like wearing them on the weekends just to relax.

They do run a little big and the laces don't tie up to the top.

These shoes did not have enough arch support for me. I did appreciate free return shipping.

I bought these before a trip to NYC. Thank God I took another pair to wear because the only day I wore these which was actually the day we did the least amount of walking and standing around my feet were killing me at the end of the day. Not normally an issue and my other pair are New balance as well and gave me no issues. These will never be wore for walking/running again

I have many pairs of New Balance fresh foams and all are size 9.5. I ordered these in 9.5 and they were too small. I returned them and ordered a size 10. Those are too small too. Unfortunately, they don't have any 10.5 available, so now I don't get this cool shoe. :(

Not comfortable. I threw them out half-way through my vacation. My feet were killing me! Not nearly enough support. I did buy a 2nd pair of New Balance that were much more expensive ($140!) but comfortable. I cheaped out buying these sneakers and paid for it.

Zappos sent these shoes to me and they clearly had been worn before. Dirty, scuff marks and disgusting.
