I have narrow feet and love these shoes. They are a little bulky and I wish they came in other colors but I would purchase them again. Thanks for creating a shoe for narrower feet. They are difficult to find.

I'm a 6.5 in most shoes and these are true to size. I have high arches and pronation problems. These shoes will take some getting used to after years of wearing the wrong ones but after 2 days I can already feel the improvement. The ligaments in my foot hurt less and my leg isn't sore from overcorrecting to deal with the pain.

I’m 69 yrs old, an overpronator with thin feet and initially these were not my favorite shoes. I think they’re rather heavy and the cushioning seems modest. But as I walk more, especially on uneven terrain, I find I value these shoes more and more. First, the cushioning isn’t so squishy that I lose touch with the terrain. I’m more sure footed and less likely to twist my ankle or knee in these shoes.
Second, they’re secure on my thin/narrow foot (I wear a 2A width) from the heel through the toe box. Enough room in the toe box but not so much that my foot slides around, which is a problem with my Brooks Adrenaline.
I wish these were prettier (and less expensive) but I’m going with the great functionality and ordering my second pair.

My podiatrist wishes I would wear these every day. They’re super comfortable and stable. I do buy extra arch supports for my high arches.

How can motion control tennis shoes be styling? I wear these because I have to but the gray and navy options are WAY better than those white ones. Fit and comfort are perfect!

Congratulations Zappos! Probably the first and only pair of shoes I've had in my entire life that fit my feet.

I have worn this shoe for quite awhile. It does well with my orthotics. The gunmetal seemed to be better made than the Polaris I bought previously.

This style was recommended by orthopedic staff for extra support for collapsing arch and they actually WORK! The style of sneakers and multi blue colors are versatile and look great.

I love these shoes so I keep purchasing the same one when they wear out. The wide toe box and great support are particularly helpful for my challenged feet. I like the color and design as well - stylish but not too weird.

These are the most expensive shoes I've worn but my orthopedic Dr suggests them. I wear an orthopedic insole in them, they have a roll bar, therefore, I can take my dog for a walk, go shopping, get around.

I run a lot and I've been wearing this model of New Balance shoes for YEARS and love the fit. I was fitted for orthodics a long time ago, but after finding this shoe, I don't have to wear them anymore. I overpronate, so these shoes help alleviate any issues that result from that. There are definitely more stylish shoes out there, but the function is way more important to me than style.

I love these shoes because they support my feet so well and provide room for my toes. I wish that I could buy them in red or purple, though.

My podiatrist recommended these shoes a few years ago for my foot issues (arthritis) and stability. I have six pairs of them (which I rotate wearing). They’re pretty costly but perfect for me! Whenever I see a sale I snap a pair up!

I wear orthotics and I have trouble with an ankle, these are the only shoes I've found that work for me. They were recommended by a podiatrist.

I have pronounced bunions. The webbing material on these shoes is positioned just right, putting no pressure on the head of my 1st metacarpal. With that said, the webbing material does wear out very quickly in this area, so I will place a small piece of Gorilla tape on the inside of my second pair of shoes before wearing. I tolerate this because these are the only tennis shoes I've found that provide comfort to my severely deformed feet. I wear orthodics with these so cannot comment on the arch support.
