If a beautiful pair of New Balance 1080 v10’s had a baby with a pair of 10 dollar shoes at Walmart, this is what you’d get. It’s a mix of excellent materials like the grippy tread, cushy fresh foam and fancy embroidery, combined with an awfully designed and crafted upper. The mesh material feels like it would have been state of the art in 1980. As goofy as these things are, they are breaking in to be a great pair of shoes comfort wise. I find that I grab these to putt putt around the house and neighborhood, because they are comfy.

Bought these for my son who has wide feet. So sorry I didn't try New Balance years ago His feet have always ached. And now He can't wait to put his shoes on. He's 12

Very comfortable, but not very stylish. Sole wear in image is after 378 mile on pavement.

Been wearing the product for a week. Have received multiple compliments about the design and multiple colorways. Extremely comfortable

Fit and feel excellent! I think it is the shoe backs and the curved shape of the sole that make them so comfortable

Shoes feel great. I went up a half size from my normal running shoe as suggested, and they fit perfectly.

This is the second pair of these shoes that I have purchased in the last three months. My only complaint is that the laces are "spongey" -- which means no matter how tight I tie the shoes, after about 2 miles the laces have given slack and I need to stop to re-tighten. For the first pair I eventually gave up and swapped out the laces with some from an old pair of Nikes. The first pair also showed wear on the soles fairly quickly -- I average only about 20 miles/week. Nevertheless, they are light and comfortable -- great trainers and that's why I purchased a second pair. Since shoe designs change frequently, when I find shoes I really like I will buy a second pair before the first has worn out.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance is the best shoe for those with wide feet -- so that's the brand I generally choose.

I fell in love with running wearing the the old Saucony Kinvara. However, I have strongly disliked the last few iterations of the shoe and have been on the hunt for a new everyday runner. The Fresh Foam Tempo is that shoe! The fit is lovely, no pinch on the upper. The foam is so responsive and fast. The best running shoe NB has produced in years. Love these!

One of the ugliest shoes I've seen out of New Balance, but fit & comfort are outstanding. Won't be wearing these out in public, but they are perfect for my daily walk.

My husband wears size 10 wide in new balance shoes and these were too tight on him. Need to get a larger size now.

I'm a big walker and really adore these shoes for their comfort and support. I've tried literally 18 pairs of NB shoes before settling on this pair since it is different from the super cushion-y type of Fresh Foam soles that many NB shoes have now. They're on the lighter side, and will work well for those who have a slightly narrower foot. Best most underrated New Balances. Please make more of this design.

I’ve had a couple of pairs of Tempos before, so I knew what I was getting. I actually tried the Beacon to see what they were like before I went back to the Tempo. However, I found them to be uncomfortable because the arch support didn’t feel as good as the Tempo. If you’re flat-footed, as I am, I’d go with the Tempo.

Finally - a shoe that fits hubby's wide, high arch foot. The fit great and he looks stylish in them. He is difficult to fit.
