Best, most comfortable shoe I’ve purchased in a LONG time! I am a big gal, and have a lot of foot pain. I have heel spurs, high instep/high arch, and also pronate. I ordered the Women’s grey Fresh Foam Knits. For starters, I could not believe how easily my feet slid into them. They fit like a glove. I especially like the back heel area. It cups my heel so nicely, and does not have the ability to dig, or rub at my heels, which use to always be a problem with past sneakers. Secondly, A very awesome feature, they are GREAT for pronators! The way the outer sides of the shoe is made, prevents your foot from falling to the side/leaning over the sides of your shoe. The sole sort of pops out to the side like a support beam. Lastly, the comfort of the sure is unbelievable. When I walk, I feel like my heels literally bounce. Every step feels cushioned, and any pressure is absorbed. Added bonus? -They are SO stylish! My husband even loved them so much, he made me instantly order him the men’s Fresh Foam Roav Black and Electric Red, which are HOTT! Love them on him! He too, says he cannot BELIEVE the comfort. And another added bonus? We got them when Zappos had the thirty dollars off promotion, so we each got them for forty nine bucks! Amazing deal for an AMAZING SHOE!

The shoe is so comfortable! They’re very cute and stylish which is the cherry on top. I did go off of other reviews and size down and I’m glad I did. I’m a true 6 and ordered 5.5 and it fits perfect!

These are good for running errands or just a casual shoe. I can’t imagine actually exercising in them. There isn’t much support or stability. But if you want to look cute running to Target, they work!

These are so wonderful! I purchased a 7W; my true size with a wide width to accommodate my newly-wide toes (yay, getting older). This is my first pair of wide shoes - WOW what a difference. :D They are light as a cloud, super stylish and extremely comfortable. I haven't worn them to exercise yet, but I've worn them for a long urban hike through San Francisco, and they are great. I may even buy more colors. Pleased with my purchase.

Fit and size are great. I have a knot between metatarsal and tarsal joint on the right and have a hard time with shoes. These are perfect. I am tempted to just wear them around town, but I need to save them for training.

I wear 10.5/11 depending on fit. I was pretty excited that a few customers complained of a toe box being too wide for them. This made me think that it might be perfect for me!! Unfortunately, no. I was shocked at how wide the "medium" is. I get upwards of 10,000 steps in during a typical shift at work and I can not afford to have my foot slipping around that much. It's a shame because I really liked the print on the shoe!!

I love NB shoes. I now have 4 pair in all colors and wear them daily. I am a teacher/coach and am on my feet alot. These seem to have the best fit for me and give me the right amount of cushion I need. I hope NB continues to offer their shoes in basic colors because I am not a fan of all the crazy color mixes. If you are looking for a great shoe....check this out!!

I have never bought a pair of New Balance but everyone seems to like them. I've given up lately on my favorites Adidas as I can't seem to get something to fit that isn't 200.00! I wear a 7.5-8 and got an 8 and should have gotten the 7.5. I did like these enough that I'm sending the 8 backs and purchased the smaller size. A little roomy in the heal but that may be because they are too big. We shall see. Nice cushion and quality shoe.
I'd also recommend:
Adidas, Puma

Had to return these for being too wide, which is odd since they come in regular and wide and I ordered/received regular width. I've never had this problem before. Great looking shoes though.

This is my new alternate day walking shoe. It is really comfortable and fairly supportive. The lack of a "tongue" eliminates one spot for the shoe to rub. I had no problem acclimating to the shoe when I first put it on. The only complaint is the lack of waterproofing makes it unlikely to be good in wet/cold weather, though it is roomy enough for a heavier sock, so shorter walks still work.

I love these shoes! They wouldn't be for me to run or power walk in, but they are extremely comfortable to wear all day. I am a college softball coach & am on my feet a lot so it's nice to have shoes that keep my feet from getting tired. I get a lot of compliments on how they look as well which is always nice! They do run a little big, so keep that in consideration.

These have been great for daily walks and jogs or just running around. They are a bit roomy and could've sized down a half size, but over all extremely comfortable and supportive shoe.

Very happy with this purchase! These shoes were for work, and they're super comfortable. A little lighter grey than I had originally thought, but I love them anyway!

Based on the other reviews, I sized down from a 7.5 to a 7 to allow for a better fit. I think this is a great everyday shoe. I wear the 940s for exercise, but needed an everyday shoe. This fits the bill! I feel like it has good support. While your heel does slip a little while walking, I don't really notice it anymore and I think sizing down does help.

Love these shoes. I am on my feet for 10 hours at work and these shoes feel great all day and they look good on. I bought both pairs, the light grey and black colored shoes. I wish they were in more colors!! I highly recommend them!

These are comfortable, I could stand to have a bit more cushion, but am new to running and trying to find the right shoe. So far this one is good, I have larger feet which makes it hard to find a good shoe, I went .5 size larger on these and wear a thicker sock.

These are soooooooo comfortable. They are also adorable with the knit upper. I wear these almost every day— would definitely purchase this style again.
