These shoes are great! Fit is perfect, super comfortable, feel good on the feet all day, and just overall good looking. I've received a ton of compliments on these shoes too! Feels good.

Really great shoes. Super comfortable and great support, love the style too. I wish they would make more colorways of this model though, I would totally buy another pair

Lasted me forever, extremely comfortable. I can't wear vans or most other skate shoes because they give my knees and hips problems but these are like clouds on my feet that felt broken in the day I got them. They've lasted me over 3 months of consistent skating and flip tricks, and only really started to give out because the bottom of my front foot wears out from setting up for tricks. If you're an actual skater just know these are some quality shoes and I can't recommend them enough

These shoes are comfortable and stylish. They do come with the stitched tongue which I'm not a fan of but overall a great shoe.

Not a great choice for people like me with high arches. I couldn't get my feet into the shoe.

You will need orthotics, but the fitment is great.

Just started skating again and these shoes are almost perfect. They are very comfortable and fit my wide feet. I use them to skate and I use them for work. I usually have to order my shoes in wide, so I am glad that they fit. My only knock is that they run a little long. I ordered Mens 10.5. I think I'll order a 10 for my next ones.

Favorite skate shoe!! Toe box is small I would size up! My heel wasn't staying down so I took out the insert and they fit great.

I don't know if it was the shoe or is my foot changing. It seems like the last 2 pair of shoes (different brands) seem to fit a little snug across the top of my foot which makes the shoe feel uncomfortable. I am going to try a wide in the same shoe to see if it makes a difference. The shoe was very nice looking.

Fit and size is great, but the quality of manufacturing is lacking. I reached inside the shoes to pull out the laces and noticed that some of the material had not been glued down properly and was bunched up. I was able to pull off the fabric and reapply and I haven't had any issues since but this seems like a QA problem for new balance.

Comfortable, but don't expect it to last. Purchased for walking around the neighborhood, and one of the heal cups has already torn and is worn out, shoes still look brand new, no wear on the soles.
For the money you pay for these, i would expect better quality.

The shoe is small generally in size, it looks cheap and doesn't have good materials.
I usually wear 42.5 EU, this 42.5 is so small I can't wear it more than 15 minutes.

Too small despite ordering same size as I always get from NB. Strange design where tongue sides are attached to sides of shoe, not just the bottom. Shoes look good though.

Difficult to put on with the tongue being part of the sneaker. Need a shoe horn every time.
