I went up half a size from the 940's I have gotten before hoping my big toe would stop coming through the top, but that made the "narrow" fit which was always a little wide through the forefoot allow my feet to swim in the shoe. I appreciate that New Balance is one of very few manufacturers which make narrows, but they need to be true narrows.

I really really loved these shoes but I'm pretty upset that where the toe goes a whole has developed ?. The mesh is so thin.

I need a size 8 3/4, but of course, that is not a thing. I like the look and feel of this shoe. I realized after receiving them, that I'd already had the same shoe in black from last year, and my big toe wore a hole in each mesh-topped shoe, even tho nails were clipped. Not repeating that experience.

These shoes seemed to run large, especially through the toe area. Because they were too wide and loose, they cannot give me
the support I need so I will be returning them. The quality seemed good. But they just didn't fit.

The shoe has a very rigid sole, almost a rocker bottom. It is quite comfortable with good room in the toebox but the heel is too loose for my narrow heel. The look is rather clunky.

Look nicer in the photo. I didn’t like the white sole with the dark upper, and would have preferred a black or gray sole. The stitching around the laces was wrinkly and looked cheap. They were comfortable and fit was true to size.

Collar around ankle too high. It dug into my ankle bones. They are nice and light. Tie box seemed roomy enough. They squeezed when I walked on hard wood floor. Sending back.

I haven't really "worn" them outside just yet but these are the closest thing to my favorite NB sneakers the 1080. I just wish I could get a true 1080 today. I like the color and style of these sneakers.

I exclusively wore New Balance shoes for years, but it seems as if the past few pairs have run smaller than they did in the past. My foot size has not changed, as other brands, such as Brooks and ASICS still fit fine.

These shoes are cute, but alas, I had to return them as they have no support. The fit was good and true to size (I ordered 7.5 wide) but the shoe box in front is a bit stretchy and about as much support as a bedroom slipper. I traded for style 1540 which has better support and doesn’t let your foot move side to side.

my other NB Narrows fit perfectly; these do not hug my foot. Regardless of how tightly laced they are, I can still slip out of them. thicker socks help, but in the summer, thicker socks are not what I like to wear

This is my second review and purchase of this NB model. Again I love the wide fit, style and stability for supination . Unfortunately like the first pair which I returned these developed a hole over the left big toe after less than six months. I do not wear them every day, and others have reported the same problem. A disappointing lack of quality from NB.

I was looking for a pair of shoes to walk in about 5 times a week. This shoe feels very cushioning!!! Because I also need a shoe to provide stability (to correct over-pronation), this shoe offered very little stability. Had to return.

These were perfect for my overpronating, bunion-ridden feet except that they slipped in the heel. So disappointed. The toe box is wonderfully wide--great for bunions. Wonderful support, but the heel is too low , which caused it to slip. I would have had blisters on my heels after a bit.

I have a long, narrow foot with a high arch. I've worn the version 3 of this shoe for years (current two pairs, now ready for the garbage, are 2016). They were perfect for me. Version 4 (2020) seems a bit stiffer, and wider in the toes, but by lacing through the very top holes I can keep my foot from sliding into the front end. Perhaps Version 4 is by a different manufacturer? V4 will work for me, but I'm not loving them yet.

I bought these after being measured and after New Balance was recommended by my podiatrist. Wearing the 940s everyday definitely makes my feet more comfortable but unfortunately they're just well made. After only a few weeks they are noticeably less comfortable and where my big toes are is wearing from the inside out. I know from previous purchases that this will lead to a hole in the front of the shoe in less than 2 months. The price tag is just way too high for me to keep buying this shoe. I wish New balance would put a protector on the top instead of it being only mesh.

Nice shoe but just trying if for a couple of hours caused my back to hurt. Heel too low for me.

I am disappointed in these shoes. I need shoes that are narrow and provide stability, and these felt much too wide. As a result, they also felt less stable. I have another pair of NB 940s that are one of the most comfortable running shoe I've ever owned, and I expected this new pair to be the same. I would return them but I took a test run outside. Alas.
