Wow - wore one time and feet hurt for days. Wish I could return. If you need cushion don't buy these shoes.

Very oddly shaped shoes. I normally love NB tho so will just buy a different pair.

The shoe was too short. I fit perfectly in an 11 in the running shoe I ordered but this shoe was definitely too short, not a true 11.

These are ugly! They have an odd plastic top that makes them look cheap. The sole of the outer part also juts out and looks awkward and makes your foot look wider than it is. I tried them on and it was as if my foot was being pushed diagonally when I walked. I definitely do not recommend!

Very disappointed in the fit of this New Balance shoe. I've worn New Balance in the past and have been satisfied. These have no arch support, wider than usual, shorter than usual, not much support.

I'll stick with K-swiss.

I bought this because it comes in EE. I had two foot surgeries that have ruined my foot and I now need a lot of room in my shoe. I could not even put it on. This is much more rigid and smaller than I expected.

They were not sized correctly. They were short for 6.5. I have returned them and at this time I am waiting for your company to return my payment.

These used to be my favorite sneakers and I've tried twice since to buy them again: the first time they were way too big and the second time they were way too small. It's very disappointing.

I wear a 2E width, these were so narrow, I thought I had mistakenly ordered a narrow width. I couldn’t even get my foot into the shoe. They were returned the next day. I usually wear New Balance, but with their frequent updates and restyling, New Balance shoes are no longer comfortable and their sizing mean nothing. Thanks to Zappos for allowing me to try and return numerous shoes, I found a new brand of shoes for my extra wide feet - Brooks.

Although they looked good on the website, once received them, I thought they looked cheap,so didn't bother to try them on. Simply returned them for credit.
