I love this style, but contrary to the reviews, I felt they ran a half a size small.

These are SO cute in person. I kept seeing these shoes as "unisex" sizing and was pleased to find the same style specifically in women's sizing. I have a medium width foot and there's no way men's sizing would fit me in width or the heel area, just too wide. These fit beautifully, though they are a little bit longer in length than expected. I only had the option to say a half size larger, but it's closer to 1/4 of a size longer. For me, that's not a big issue and makes it so that I can comfortably wear thicker socks if I want. But, I thought it was worth mentioning. Also appreciate that they came with two sets of laces - one black and one white! Every time I've worn them, I've gotten someone commenting on them.

These are so comfy right out of the box. I have a wide foot and normally would order a 7 W and the 6.5M fit perfectly. They run 1/2 size too large so consider ordering a 1/2 size smaller.

I thought these were leather or synthetic leather like the moonbeam black NB 327s are. These are mesh uppers. Do not like them! And too small.

Really wanted to like these, but the fit was just weird. They felt 1/2 size too big, because my heel slips out, but any smaller and the toe would have felt cramped. I think they are a little wide and that's why the fit just wasn't right for me.

I liked the style and the color (white with blue "N" design, tan rubber soles), however these felt a half to a whole size too short. I wear an 8 in Sam Edelman loafers, and 8.5 in most tennis shoes. I ordered these in an 8.5, but my toes were literally touching the end of the shoe. I am sending back and trying a 9.

The 327 Linen with Sea Salt and Olivine is absolutely gorgeous! However, I dont recall seeing in the description that the outer covering would look wrinkled and loose. Did I miss this in the description? I thought the color was linen, not the actual fabric. Im worried this material will wind up tearing or wearing out quickly. Im thinking this shoe is only meant for looking cute with outfits. I would never use them for active wear.

These are my favorite lifestyle/light walking shoe ever! BUT they are not all made the same. Some have a suede/mesh upper, while others have a stiff plastic like upper instead of the mesh. The plastic like shoe is more uncomfortable and makes my feet sweat. PLEASE make a distinction in the product description!!! I had to return.

I have two pairs as of now but definitely want more! Sea salt/Sandstone have the leather “N” while the Sea Salt/Black have the “N” made of nylon. Both colors have a mix of mesh and suede. They are super cute with everything from jeans to maxi dresses! They’re TTS. I’m an Ultraboost gal for comfort but these are definitely more stylish (still comfortable for sure! Just compared to the Ultraboost, not quite as comfy is all!) ! I’m a size 9 Women’s for both these and Ultraboosts. But the 327’s make my feet look so much smaller and cute! They’re my go to shoes these days! Now I’m just waiting for more colors to come out Zappos!!

I’m sometimes between sizes, so I went up a half size for optimal fit. The style and color were just what I wanted and they were SO comfortable! I took a risk and wore them straight out of the box to walk NYC for vacation. - 4 days walking 15k-18k steps a day. They were perfect from the start, zero break in required. The fabric held up well with all the walking in a dirty city, the canvas seemed to resist marks and scuffs. The rubber on the front and back was also a life saver since my kids kept stepping on my heels.

This is the most comfortable out of the box sneaker I ever owned. Love the color combo, cushion is great! I’m usually 7.5, and this is tts. Can’t wait to travel with this, I know I will get a lot of miles out of this stylish kicks. Highly recommend!

It was too small for size so it’s hard to tell how it should feel.

They fit slightly big, but less than a 1/2 size. If I would have gone down a 1/2 size, they would be too short. My orthotics took up some of the extra space.

They are nice, although I thought they were leather. My fault for not reading description better. They run a bit large

I absolutely love the looks of these shoes. I wear a 9 1/2 and they still look relatively small. They fit true to size I own other new balance shoes and they are extremely comfortable. I find these not to be very comfortable. After a long day I’m eager to get them off.

I ordered the Iced Wine and they are attractive until you put them on. The shoes CRINKLE while you move in them. They are LOUD, obnoxious, and embarrassing. The material they used here is absolutely unnecessary and thoughtless.

I didn’t realize how wrinkled the “linen” look was!! Was horrible and I immediately returned them.

This is one of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn. It's not super cushy on the bottom but it works, and feels very supportive even without what I'd call a high arch support. I have this style in multiple color ways and just cannot get enough of it. And historically, I've been very loyal to three other "big" sneaker brands, but I'm particularly fond of these NB 327s now!

Great shoes! They are fashionable and the most comfortable pair of work shoes I own. I'm a nurse who works in radiology, I'm on my feet all day and wear lead during multiple long cases... my legs and feet thank me on the daily for purchasing these super comfy pair of shoes!

Outstanding shoes. Wore them out of the box and walked around and racked up 18,000 steps. Forgot I was wearing shoes by the end of the day, so comfortable. I think they’re pretty true to size. I usually wear a 10 and the 10s are the right size in this shoe for me. 10.5 was way too big.

I’m a 7 1/2 (38 EU) pretty much across the board. I ordered both the 7 and the 7 1/2 so I could compare sizing. I was surprised to find the 7 fit way better than the 7 1/2!! I tried both pair on at home like 5 times because I could not believe what my feet were telling me. I’m glad I got to try both on. Happy Nurse’s Week to me!
