These started getting holes in the inner heel fabric after only a handful of wears. Would not recommend if you're looking for long-lasting shoes.

Cute shoe but cheap. Not a ton of support if you are thinking of running or walking in these for exercise.

Not nearly as well made as the more expensive version (guess that's the real difference between the two--price.0

I am usually a big fan of new balance and wear the same size. But these shoes felt cheaply made, were very see-through, and were quite small. I returned them, more like $60 shoe quality.

Got these for running/walking. The fit was comfortable. I love the colour. Great breathability. The soles are a harder material than I'm used to but not that serious. After like 6 months the inner lining around the heel has completely torn apart. These weren't an everyday wear shoe, were taken care of, were purchased in April of 2021 so barely a year old with minimal usage but that shouldn't have mattered. Not impressed with the quality of the materials. Would not recommend or buy again.

My New Balance 880s are the only shoes I can use to walk long distances. I knew the Fresh Foam Tempo was not the same shoe, but I expected it to fit the same way. It did not. The shoe is a different shape and "Wide" is too narrow. I have returned them. Shopping online is hard.

The shoe is beautiful, but I hate the way it feels. It’s too tight across the top of my foot at the bottom lace. My toes fell asleep while I was walking.

Shoe may be fine for true to fit and width but driving me nuts as the right shoe squeaks horrible every step you take. IT is like the foam heal portion not sealed up and every step is screech screech screech. Would not recommend

THESE tennis run small had to buy a size bigger but didn't like how they can't exchange them and have to wait for 10 days before a refund takes place....

I ordered an 8 B. Not an actual size 8, more like a size 6-1/2 to a 7, The label states its an 8. Way too short and too narrow. I won't be ordering a larger size. Love the color, vibrant. Disappointed!

I wanted to like this shoe but the fit is very inconsistent with my other New Balance shoes. Poor support, poor fit and not optimum for running. I will probably use it to kick around in the yard. Definitely going back to my 880s.

These are not true to size....you should really post that your shoes do not run true to size. I am spreading the word that this is a "Made In USA" company.

New balance shoes are my favorite. But this model give me injuries (too much pressure on my toes) :( I wish I can return them but I think this is too late

I can usually wear new balance straight out of the box, size 7.5 w, this pair is exceptionally small. They are so tight I am returning. Super cute shoes though.

I usually wear Brooks or Asics, but thought I'd give New Balance a try. Wow, these fit so badly. They were short, and I ordered my normal 10.5. And, they curved in...I can't think of a better way to describe it. The toe box had very little cushioning.

I was really excited about these shoes based on reviews and online recommendations. Unfortunately I find them extremely uncomfortable. They rub the back of my heal and cause general discomfort in my feet, arch and achilles. My feet and legs feel sore overall after wearing them. I took them right out of the box and wore right away because of my high expectations. I wish I could return them and the other pair that I bought. I don't think the construction of these shoes is compatible with my body.

Ran small - bought these for a trip to LA to visit my daughter - wore them in the house fir 10 days before but still squished my toes - didn't want to take a chance walking on vacation.

I have always worn an 8.5 (wide) in new balance shoes but for some reason my feet felt incredibly cramped in these. Thought they would be my perfect new running shoes but unfortunately had to return them.

These were narrower than some medium-width shoes. The laces were hard to adjust because of the strange way they are inserted in the shoe.
