These shoes look great and are for the most part very comfortable. Very easy and comfortable to get on and off. I'm wondering if there is a size that fits my foot well. They feel a little narrow in the toe box, but the sockless fit makes it so you can't really tighten them around your ankle. So I probably need a wide in the toe box and regular width for the upper area. My other gripe is that the spikes wear down really quickly if you have to walk on pavement. I've been using a push cart, so I've had to walk on the cart path at times and after a few times some of the spikes are almost completely worn down. Great shoes other than that though.

Fit was too small. Lacing system was very difficult to use. I returned the shoes.

the tongue does not lift up so it is very difficult to get your foot in the shoe. also the firmness of the tongue presses against your leg once you do get your foot in.

Slightly larger than what normally fits me in NB. Zero arch support. Unwearable let alone thinking about walking 18 holes in these.

This attractive shoe has one flaw -- the shoe's tongue is sewn in, so the shoe becomes a sort of slipper or loafer. Not a problem for most guys I'm sure, but it you're like me and have a high instep you'll have trouble getting them on your feet. Had to return them, which Zappos makes easy, thankfully.

shoe does not have a conventional tongue, so it is very difficult to get on, even with shoe horn.

this shoe has a one-piece tongue that makes it very difficult to put on. I returned it because I knew it would drive me crazy

I didn't care for the boot style. Really has to wrestle with the shoe to get it on my foot. Minimal arch support, in my opinion. Good looking shoe, just not for me.

I use this product to play golf. I walk the course twice weekly. I do not like the tongueless design and I am disappointed that the toe box narrows too quickly at the front of the shoe.

Very comfortable athletic shoe if they fit your foot. I ordered it in 2E as that is what I usually take in New Balance shoe, however the tor box is very narrow for a 2E and the there was no stretch possible with the side plastic support. So, do not buy these on line. I had to return mine, New Balance paid for return shipping.

Poor design that New Balances refuses to admit . One month out of warranty and they offered nothing .This is happening to all their golf shoes .Do not purchase a New Balance shoe .See other reviews and photos . This a widespread product failure .

I play golf in my Fresh Foams. All New Balance footwear that I wear are size 9 wide and they fit very well. Unfortunately the Fresh Foam golf shoes are wider than all of my other New Balance shoes, do not have a good arch and are difficult to put on because of the way the tongue is sewn on.

Was very disappointed by this shoe. I bought it to play golf as I’ve always had pretty good luck with new balance shoes but this one causes pretty bad ankle pain for me as the toe box is huge compared to the midsole.

I was hoping that the golf shoe would be like their running shoe with the Fresh Foam, but unfortunately, they have nothing in common. It felt like I was wearing two little boxes on my feet.

Played one round of golf and the should hold dirt so bad. They aren't waterproof and after only one round they have creased to the point that they look bad. Very displeased.

the "attached" tongue makes it difficult or impossible for a wide foot for entry

Shoe has not separate tongue. Had a heck of a time trying to get them on. Too much trouble and effort - returned them for another NB shoe

These golf shoes are designed poorly and materials are suspect. I bought them in early September, and today an eyelet broke (see photo). I probably played 8 rounds maximum before the eyelet broke.
The “tongue” is fixed in place making them difficult to put on. This might contribute to the easy breakage, but I also think the plastic is weak.
I do not recommend these for golfers.
