As pictured and comfy. Will say, I've had better support from New Balance but with these, I was going for the style. These shoes are lightweight, but I wouldn't say they feel cheap. And yes, the foam is exposed on the tongue.
Usually a 9.5 women's (wide) but sized up to a 10.

These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. I wear between a 7.5 - 8 and an 8 fit great with room. I have a narrow foot and this shoe was not snug but it also did not slip on the heal. **roomy in the toe box**. Also they do have a nice vintage style look to them but the sole of the shoe looks updated which rolls nicely when you walk.

I love the color/style of these shoes. I have another pair in a different color that are a bit more comfortable than these. This pair also ran a half size smaller than my other pair of 237s. Weird! Thankfully Zappos customer service is excellent and helped me get the right size!

Like the style. Fit, for me, is not good for athletics but good for style & casual wear. I wear an 8 in most athletic sneakers and 8 was quite big. Exchanged for 7.5, which I will keep, but they feel narrow.

The size and fit were spot on, but not very comfortable to walk in. Very flat and hard feeling. Even with a thin insole, or swapping out the factory insole for my nice Aetrex ones, still not right. I wanted to be the cool Mom with casual NB sneakers really bad, but alas I can't seem to make it work. I've tried 4 NB tennis shoes and none of them feel very well made. Really cute though, and if you don't care about comfort as much as style, these are adorbs!

Overall, boxy fit. The material on the top of the foot looked cheaply made and did not form well. Comfortable, but overally high arches.

OK fit. Not as comfortable as my other pairs of NewBalances. They look a bit more clunky too. Got my regular size and it fits OK but thinking I should've maybe sized up half a size.

I Liked the look of this shoe but the support is almost dangerous. It makes you feel uneasy when walking. I can't figure out what the problem is but it is lacking in support. Stick with the NB high performance running shoe for even walking as this "classic" version is horrible.

I have always been satisfied with new balance but not this time. I purchased (and sending back) the cream, green & mauve pair. The color is fantastic, but that's the only positive. No arch support and if your foot isn't wide this isn't the sneaker for you. Plus they made a squeaky sound as I tried them out around around my house.

This is the worst shoe purchase I have ever bought. The tongue of the shoe isn’t even Sowed in all the way. There’s no arch support and the fit is extremely flat . The top of this shoe is not mesh or any kind of breathable material it wrinkled like plastic. I wonder if this is a new balance knock off to be honest . Don’t buy these!

The shoe was way too small. It was marked a 10.5 but when compared to my mother's 9.5 it was still a lot smaller.

Not sure if counterfeit shoes are a thing, but I'll preface this by saying I've never having owned a pair of New Balances. What the actual...? These were super flimsy and cheap looking, felt very little support, has exposed foam on the tongue... Not to mentioned they arrived with a squished/creased toe box, and not in a New Balance box. Seemed like a pair of sneakers you'd get at PayLess for a third of the price--definitely not worth the $90 I paid.

I have the another color of this shoe and it fits beautifully. For a minute I thought these were men’s . Very large and wide. Looked terrible on!

These shoes make my feet hurt. They don't work with the way I walk. Since I have worn them, I don't have the packaging label, and the original box I can not return them.

I will be returning these. The canvas like material came off as lower-grade. I am going to upgrade to the next model up. Sizing was accurate

I have to size up in sneakers and these 12s work great for my size 11 feet, though I wish they came in a 11.5. They are comfortable, cute, retro vibes, and make my big feet look smaller. Two thumbs up, just wish they had some fun brighter colors.

The arch support is nice but not excellent. It's surprisingly comfortable. The material is suede and leather of high quality. The platform midsoles make them perfect for cool weather. The rubber outsoles are slip-resistant. The size is smaller than other brands. My feet are 238mm in length and I wear size 8.5 in New Balance.
