I find these shoes very comfortable! Since having a herniated disc which affected my leg down into my foot, I had to try on MANY different shoes! New balance and other brands. These were the most comfortable and gave the support I now need. One thing I'm not happy about is after 5 months I developed holes at my big toe in both shoes. Maybe has something to do with the way I walk? I've had this problem once years ago with the mesh top. It would be more durable if maybe they reinforced the toe area. Even so, I will be buying another pair.

I tried my size but they were too narrow and short. I think the heel is too narrow and is pushing the foot forward and then there is not enough space for the toes. I also do not like that the sole is sticking out so much behind the heel. In my opinion this is very restrictive when exercising. They seem to be light. I had to return them because of the fit.

I used to run and exercise in NB for many years but have to try other brands now.

I have a wide foot due bundens. A little smaller than expected. I need a shoe that will work with an orthodic.

I went up a half-size in this shoe compared to my last pair of NB (even after getting the wides) and then they fit perfectly!

These shoes were purchased for a trip to the Caribbean. So far, I have worn them only in my house in order to stretch them out. They were very snug, even though I bought a wide width. They have orthotics in them. Many New Balance shoes have not needed stretching out, but these were the exception. I will continue to purchase New Balance, but I will try them on first. This was different. They were an online purchase.

These were about a half size too small for me, which is strange because I’m always a 10 with new balance. I returned them but they’re cute!

These shoes are light and comfortable. They decently support my high arches. They run about a half size too small and the inserts are very thin with little padding, which could be a plus or minus.

These were pretty good once I moved to a 10 - I actually measure 9, wear 9.5 from most manufacturers, and have NEVER needed to buy a 10 in New Balance shoes. But I really like the ridiculously bright orange, and the 10s fit pretty well.

Comfortable and light weight. Liked the Fuel Cel Prism(which is similar) better.

Overall really like these, only deducted 1 star because I felt they could have more arch support. I do have very flat feet so this might not be the case for everyone purchasing these.

I really liked the look and feel - but I had almost an inch of toe space.
Loved the color and the overall softness of the shoe

I usually wear new balance, but I tried two other brands. The brooks revele offered much more cushioning and spring.

I am a size 4 1/2 but 5 is the smallest athletic shoe made. I wear NB because the fit in medium is usually not as wide as other brands and they run close to a true 5. I add a light orthotic insole to the shoe and the fit and comfort are fine.

Only use NB

Had to get used to foam, I would be happy if they were slightly less foamy so slightly lighter weight

Feels like it has a lot of cushion in the heel, without much bulk. Ordered a 1/2 size larger as advised and that was the right fit.madd

I've never run with super light weight shoes. So I'm not used to it. As for me, I need more cushion

These shoes fit perfectly but the fabric on the top of the shoe is not straight which made the shoe look like it had a pleat in it. I tried to get another pair just like it but it was out of stock. I found the pair another place.

They fit fine but did not give me enough stability as an overpronator so I returned them.
