Unfortunately, the shoes are about 1/4" too short. This is the first time I have had a New Balance shoe sized 7.5B that has not fit properly. That leaves me a bit hesitant to order shoes online again. But I was pleased to see how easy you have made it for me to make a return. Thank you for that. That alone will make we try to purchase shoes online from you, even though returning an item adds one more time I am required to be out in the public, which because of the virus I am trying to limit. Anyway, I have always liked New Balance shoes and the nearly worn thru sole attests to the 3 miles a day I have put on them over the nearly past five years. I really wished to purchase the same style but could not find on your site. They were a hiking shoe, as these stated they were, but the new ones are not the same as the prior pair. Again, thanks though for making the purchasing and returning easy.

While the shoes are well made, and attractive, the run small. I wear an 8, and had I known I would have ordered an 8 1/2. They seemed to fit well when I received them and tried them on, but after wearing them for a day my big toe was sore. Unfortunately, I can't send them back since I wore them. Would I purchase them again? Yes, but size up for a correct fit and comfort.

I use these for urban trail walking. The previous model fit a little better but these are still a good shoe. My last pair lasted several years.

I do a lot of walking. This purchase is to replace the shoe, same style, different color that I have walked in for miles.

This is the second time I have purchased this model shoe. Very comfortable straight out of the box and excellent traction on trails.

I walk my dog a few miles every day and choose to wear specific shoes for this outdoor activity. I prefer to buy New Balance when I can find them.
My previous dog-walking shoes were worn out, so I recently replaced them with New Balance 669v2.
I am glad that I read reviews recommending to buy up in size. I wish I could have gone up just a half size, but going up a full size has worked okay. The length is a bit more than I need, but it's clear that buying my usual size (11) would not have worked at all.
The shoe is a little bit wider than I need, but an extra pull on the laces makes them fit fine.
I always remove stock inserts and use better ones. (I prefer Powerstep or Superfeet to get good arch support.) I included a photo of the stock inserts, in case anyone is wondering what they look like. They have an added cushion.
I've been wearing these shoes for a week, and I am happy with fit and comfort. I think I'll get many many miles out of these shoes.
My only gripe is the color. I wish these came in something other than dark brown.

Nice sneaker but unfortunately the quality of the material seems to be downgraded for New Balance. I believe this is due to the fact that the sneakers are being imported and they are being made in Indonesia and Vietnam. I had to get a half a size bigger based on people's reviews. My orthotics that fit in other New Balance sneakers seem to be too large to fit this sneaker which tells me that they are running short and narrow. Good luck on finding the ones made in the Good Ole USA

I liked this shoe however it did not fit as I needed it to. I have bought from this site previously and will do so again.

I chose this model of sneaker for an all-around walking shoe. The color combination is nice and it fits like other NB products I have. I do wish it had been available in Narrow as the toe box on a Medium always buckles when I tighten the laces. The insole is nicely padded, but I look for one that is removable since I have to wear custom inserts for plantar fasciitis. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Seemed like perfect shoe - lightweight yet sturdy. Unfortunately I needed it a little deeper to fit my orthodic insole.

This is my second pair and I really love them...I walk a lot or try to and they are the most comfortable! Great for street walking or hiking. The size fits perfect and so comfortable on!! I will continue to buy them...now if I can only get them in black!!! ??? :) Same style!

Shoe laces are too short. Cute shoes but could feel softer inside.

I walk on city streets and occasionally on soft tread forest trails. Fit is comfortable and consistent with sizing as described. Pulling the laces tight is slightly difficult; the angle is lower down than the shoes with lace holes in the sides. Order was correct and arrived promptly.

Attractive shoe but the sole feels stiff, not well cushioned, marginal arch support. Not at all like other NB shoes I've had in the past. I have a wide foot and ordered a wide but this fees just smidge too wide. I kept them because they were better than nothing but I'm still searching for a more comfortable sneaker.

Really nice shoe, but the strap on the back is too large, not necessary and has the possibility of catching on obstacles and possibly causing a fall, recommend that they be cut off.
