Customer Reviews New Balance Classics 997H

My daughter absolutely loved the shoes! She says they are very comfortable and stylish.

I'm sure this would people with a differently shaped foot. For mine, the toe box felt too narrow, and surprisingly, too short. This is the 2nd pair of new balance that I have recently ordered that I have had to return because they were too short (and I wear a size 12 so I have no possibility to "size up") I'm also disappointed that New Balance is offering these new balance classics only in "B" width. NB used to be a full service line with every shoe in every width, but for those of us with narrow feet, their recent offerings are very disappointing. There's only so many pairs of socks you can wear to fill up the empty space..

Comfortable and stylish!

These made me feel on trend and not like I was trying too hard to be cool! They are a classic.

Very good all the way around!

LOVE these sneakers right out of the box. Fit was perfect.

Really cute and comfy

I purchased 2 pairs of this shoe in different colors. Both were one full size larger that what I usually wear. I reordered the white ones in a smaller size, and they fit perfect! I am a happy Zappos customer!!!! Thank You!!!!!

All is absolutely wonderful! Zappos is awesome in all ways! Thanks a lot for the great service!!

Very cushy and cool looking.

I wanted the other New Balance to work, but these were the best fitting. I'm a 9, but need to put my insert in under the insole so I get a 9 1/2. All 3 pairs of the other NB(CUSH) were too short in the toe box except these. Very cushy. Cool color.

Great design. Size is consistent with my regular shoe size. Unfortunately, I'm on my feet all day and I don't think they provide enough support for me. Thanks Zappos.

I purchased these for a more stylish sneaker to wear out and about with the kids. I love the gold details. Perfect for chasing kids around while trying to stay somewhat trendy.

I bought these to wear as street shoes- trying to keep my 40something year old shoe game fresh. The teens approved. Nice and roomy, love the pop of magenta, with layers of cool and warm white. These are a blend of a bulkier looking shoe which is really hot right now, but they are still kind of streamlined. The support is ok- fine for walking or standing most of the day however I don’t think it’s adequate for any type of working out. If you need arch support- inserts would be in order. I’ll be wearing these with skinny denim, cargo pants, and leather leggings- also great for any athleisure wear.

I loved the style and colors of these shoes. However, I always wear a 9.5 in New Balance. These were too short. The toe box is too small for me. If you don't want a roomier toe box, I think you will find that these are comfortable shoes.
