Always love new balance. I've tried other tennis shoes but my feet always hurt but not with NB. Love the shoes I got. The only problem I have with new balance is sometimes the toe of the shoe gets worn out. And then it looks terrible. But we'll see with this pair if they fix that issue.

I have been for the past few years buying from a different shoe maker but liked the reviews on these and ordered a 9 & 9.5 both are too short. I'm returning both and asking for a 10 as I like everything else about them just need more in the length. It sure is interesting how I would be a 8.5 in one shoe company and a 10 in another.

Glad that this shoe is available finally - but don't like the mesh top! I have this same shoe in black for winter and found that winter wind and rain came into the mesh top! Want the same outside covering from two years past - smooth leather like covering.

They are comfortable but on the homely side. They also ran a little larger than the last pair of size 6 I purchased. Slip a bit at the heel.

Bought these in narrow for my skinny feet. The shoes were way to narrow for me. Very tight in the arch area and I even tired thinner socks. Had to return for a medium which made all the difference. Thanks Zappos for rest service.

The toebox was too tight for my toes. I find Easy Spirit Romy athletic shoes to be a better fit in the toebox.

I thought the toebox was going to be big enough but felt the toebox too tight. I thought the support was there but had to return. Still like Easy Spirit "Romy" brand as toebox feels right in that brand. Plus able to wear custom orthotics in Romy.

Great shoe for regular heel and wide toe and pretty deep toe box. I wore them all day around the house. So far so good!

I like these shoes and this particular one was recommended by the person who made a custom leather lace up ankle brace to wear in them due to the stability of the roll bar, which is a great feature. I ordered 1/2 size larger than I usually wear but the fit, even without the ankle brace, was too short, mostly because the band over the toe box irritated my big toes on both feet, something I have read in other customer reviews.

I’m a size nine WW but get 9 1/2 in running shoes, especially if they are only wide and not double wide. So I ordered these in size 9 WW since reviews reported a very wide toe box. Great wide width (looks a little boxy of course) but I definitely need a 9 1/2 WW in these; big toe touches front of shoe.

I returned a previous pair that failed in less than four months. This replacement pair is perfect. Customer Service was fantastic. Thank you Zappos!

Nice shoes but they ran small. I rounded up on my size and they were still too short.

I love these shoes. However my left ankle is bothering me somewhat and I have wrapped it with a bandage.

Still a little bit to small on the right foot but left foot was fine. Nice material. Felt soft and comfortable otherwise.

I only use New balance as that is what was recommended by my foot doctor.

I ordered these shoes in a medium width, which turned out to be very narrow on my foot! Had to reorder them in a wide width. I’ve never needed a wide width in any shoes I own.

The best thing about this Narrow shoe is that it actually is narrow across the instep so I don't have to crank on the laces to get the shoe close to my foot. I would like to have it a bit lower cut below the ankle bones and heel and have the heel cupped slightly more to prevent slipping, but it is the best I could find, since Saucony no longer seems to make my old favorite fit in a Narrow.

I wanted to love these because they fit my small wide foot with my Ottobock AFOs, but I don’t like the ventilation holes on the top of the toe area. They are big and make the shoe unattractive. They do seem comfortable though maybe not as supportive as other NB sneakers.

Bought these because I can't find 7.5 1540v3 anywhere. Hate the price, but these actually fit really well. Comfortable, even for my high arches.

I purchased these for my mother. She normally wears a 6.5 Wide in every shoe no matter the brand. These shoes run small in length but pretty wide. She ended up with the 7 in medium width. They are a little snug but we are hoping the once she wears them for a little bit and her feet settle that the width will be fine. My advice is to size up in length and down in width.

The new design for the 847v4 has changed the feel of the shoes I have worn for many years. The fit is just a bit snug in the toes, but I am hoping that with wear the shoes will loosen somewhat so I won't return them.

I will stick with this brand because it has been reliable and was recommended by a podiatrist.

Love the color, I normally wear 6.5B in New Balance (they're my go to shoes), this was 7AA and too small!?
7B too wide, so back they go.
