This shoe is perfect but I have a particularly high instep and find them uncomfortable behind the toes area.

I bought these shoes based on several other reviews. I like the design and they fit as described. They are not as comfortable as I had hoped, not as much cushion or as much arch support as the reviews I read had said but they are not uncomfortable. The toe box is plenty wide and the heels fits well. My only real complaint is that they make noise when I walk. It is a squish sound (not a squeak) that started a few weeks after I got them. If it had started right away I would have returned them but now it is too late as I have worn them a lot. More comfortable then my Adidas but not as comfortable as my Sketchers.

Love the style and look of these shoes. And they accommodate my need for a wide toe box and narrow heel. However, they run 1/2-size short. I have re-ordered in the next 1/2 size up. Hoping they will be perfect.

These shoes feel amazingly comfortable. Unfortunately, I followed the fit recommendation from NB but I found that they run big.
a 7.5 instead of 8 would have fit me better as I am a 7.5. So they are true to size. Will have to return or exchange.

These have some structure to them which works without confining. Sizing seems right on. If one is used to a "c' width,these may be a bit slimmer so go with wide. They are cushy but not sloppy, comfortable for walking but probably not the best for running if you are used to that barefoot type of shoe. Overall, I think I will most definitely repeat the purchase.

I was looking for a model similar to the 880v. The bottom of this model fits great, but I have a very high instep and the top of this model fits a little tight. Have to unlace really far. Comfortable overall, however.

the only issue was that the width in the toe area felt wider than a B and there wasn't enough arch support.

I ordered a 8.5 my normal size and I'm glad I did they are perfect fit. Very comfortable though I was expecting a little more cushion. I love the color. I wish the points program was clearer at checkout I was disappointed mine weren't applied even though I clicked apply them. Now I will lose them as I can't afford a second pair right now.

Couldn’t get a good fit! Tried two sizes and had to give up. Super cute and seemed like it’d be comfy if I could’ve found my right fit

Cute shoes but run small. I'm returning and getting a half size larger to see if that helps. Will update review at that time.

I had a 10.5 which felt a little too short, so I ordered an 11. They feel like they are exactly the same size. Hmmmmm.....
But I do love this colour, so even if they don't work out for my running, I'll just wear them for fashion.
Great C,

Ordered 1/2 size larger as recommended - still did not fit. Very disappointed - 860's were my go to sneakers. I guess the Chinese makers have decided to change the specs. Very disappointed.

Didn't like how bright the colors were in person. Didn't even try it on. Pretty, but too bright for me.

I use these shoes for medium impact exercise. They do not offer as much cushioning as I expected. I will be replacing the insoles they included with something more substantial. They do feel very stable.

I'm on my feet all day, I live the colour of these and had hoped the foam would give me more cushioning, sadly not so..

I always wear an size 8 Med and have about 1/2" to 1" room at end of toes. This shoe - my toes were crammed in there. If I ordered a 9 I'm sure it would look like clown shoe. So won't go that big. I was excited about this tennis shoe - I love how LIGHT it is. I think if it were true to size and fit like all my other NB tennis shoes - I would have enjoyed wearing them, because they are so light and seemed very CUSHIONY. I'm disappointed.

Disappointed. I'm such a new balance fan. Did my first walk and got blisters in weird places and the toe box is oddly small. Do love the color and discount, but can't recommend otherwise

I ordered a half size up, and it was still too small. This may be also why it felt too narrow on my foot. The arch support felt quite minimal for my foot, too. Great colors, though! Sadly, I have to return them.

As always New Balance is great for a narrower foot, however the size was just a little small. Disappointing as it is hard to find size 12 shoes. Will return or exchange.

I have purchased several pairs of New Balance over the years and I am always a size 11. I couldn't believe how small these felt- at least a size smaller than advertised.
