I used these as daily use and immediately felt like the toe box was going to fall apart. Afyer about 1 week I thought they loosened up so bad that my toes were pushing the mesh out and my toes were hanging over the sole. Turns out, the insole was sliding up the heel so bad my toes were just hanging over the front of the in sole. These shoes are honestly some of the worst ive owned. Ill get some 574s for the gym if 11.5s ever come in stock. These are a huge no for me.

I liked these shoes so much I bought 3 pairs in short order only to have my toe rub a hole in them within a few months. Coworker had the same issue. Don't bother with this shoe. 2 of 3 pairs I bought are already in the trash.

I have worn New Balance for years and bought these in my regular size, 10. The fit was weird, too short and narrow in the toe bed. So I ordered them in a 10.5 thinking that would make a difference...they both felt the same! Sending back.

Loved the style and color, but shoe runs small and narrow. Not sure what is going on, but shoes over $100 should be made better. Definitely not same sizing as in past.

I ordered the wide and within 30 minutes of wearing them, I had to take them off as they were way too narrow. Returning them.

This shoe is much wider than a standard normal width shoe. Because of the brand logo at the base of the laces and the elastic band under the rest of the laces, the laces are not meant to be tightened so that the shoe fits better. I always wear an 8.5 in an athletic shoe and this once slips right off my heel.

So pretty... I wish they felt right. I've always worn New Balance running shoes, but these put my feet to sleep. They are too wide overall, esp. in the heel; they are a little short, and lack structure. I was wanting more bounce, and I think I need more eyelets for the laces; I need greater tightness around the ankle. My heels moved a lot and my arches rolled more than I would want. Returning... :(

I have been purchasing New Balance shoes at the recommendation of my foot surgeon for over 15years. I was always so confident in the consistency of the shoe that I felt they arrived "broken in". This model is not up to my good experience. I could not get my foot into the shoe with a quarter sock; there is virtually no support for the front of the foot ; the design of the laces makes no sense; the sole surface is not supportive of either walking or running impact. What a disappointment!

I've had theses for about a month and they're already ripping on the side of one shoe.

I know kids are hard on shoes but there were holes in a couple of months. Unwearable after 6 months. New Balance used to be my favorite

These shoes are so cute but so uncomfortable. They are not too small but toes go numb while walking. Super disappointed.

I ordered an 11 wide. The label said 11 wide, so did the box. But when I put them on, they was no way they were an 11 wide. It felt more like a 10 medium (not wide). I could barely get my foot in and my toes were pushing against the front of the toe box. They immediately when back in the box and the return was started. If your looking for a roomy wide fit shoe, look somewhere else. I've also found that New Balance sizing is very inconsistent with every shoe.

The first few hours of wearing this shoe, the bottoms of my feet started to hurt, and when I decided to try wearing them again, the pain became unbearable. The shoe had a tight fit, even for my narrow and flat foot. I have usually had a great experience with Fresh Foams, but this one did not work, and I had to return.

This is my 2nd pair and for some reason this color (dark raisin) runs really narrow. Have to return them but will maybe try a size up.

My current work shoes are 4 years old and are shot. I googled the "most comfortable athletic shoe" as I am on my feet all day. These are so uncomfortable that I cannot even wear them. My feet ached horribly and I wish I could return them.

I always purchase my new balances in a 12 wide and they fit perfectly. This particular model is way bigger than normal and the shoes are coming off my feet when I walk. Very disappointed as I am a loyal and consistent new balancer.
