They are shoes. They go on my feet. They work left foot first or right foot first.

I purchased these for the non-slip factor. I purchased New Balance for the arch suppose (and I normally only buy New Balance for this reason), but these 806 shoes had virtually zero arch support. I returned them, as after one day they were brutal on my feet. If they'd had arch support, I would have kept them.

I wear these to work 3-5 days per week, I often have to walk on sloped rooftops so the non-slip sole is a real advatage. I also find myself getting them dirty throughout the day so being able to wipe them with a damp cloth so I don't track dirt around is a real advantage. The bis thing though is that I have a wide foot and these fit very comfortably.

I bought these shoes because I love New Balance and I was looking for a pair of shoes I could wear every day to work. And I definitely scored, these shoes are very slip resistant, pretty comfy and breathable, and are the right balance of style and business. I highly advise getting a pair!

Love the extra wide width! Flexible sole, easy clean shoe surface for expected spills.

I where a lot of New Balance. Most of the time I can wear right out of box. These were a little narrow for a 4E. Also, they did look kind of ugly in the picture. But, they are very ugly. Maybe a mistake purchase.

I've worn these shoes about 15 times and they are uncomfortable and they are falling apart. I'm a huge NB fan but these are just sup par in every way.

They fit well and don't look too big for a size 16. I wish they were made in more colors so I could get another pair.

The back of the shoe is too tall rubbing on my achilles and making my foot ache will be exchanging for something more low profile

I ordered this show in width 4E, it is not a true extra wide. I couldn't get my foot in it. I checked the inside of the shoe to ensure it was the size it ordered and the label indicated that it was a 4E.
I returned the shoe for credit.

They say 13 4E, if you put these next to my other new balance 13 4E there is no way these are 4extra wide just looking at them I can tell and my feet fit in 13 with just under an inch of toe room these my toe touches the end of the shoe. Seems to me someone messed up on the measurement. In the photo The shoe on the left (blue) is a 13 4E and the tag on the right (black) says it’s a 13 4E there’s no way they are same they done look the same

Fit was just a bit small. But the slip resistance was terrible. So much so that I almost fell at work.

I picked up a 4E in my regular size and it was super small. I went a full size up an they were still too narrow. These aren't a true 4E if that's what you're looking for.

This shoe isn’t accurate sizing. I wear a 14 extra wide in ASICS. For these I bought size 15 4E and they were shorter and narrower than my “smaller” sized asics. If you have wide feet, steer clear.

I work at a brewery/restaurant and purchased these for their slip-resistance and assumed comfort. I figured they'd be comfortable because of my past experience with New Balance shoes and their reputation, these however are a complete letdown. Don't get me wrong, they fit my foot perfectly fine, but after an hour on my feet my heel is raw (this has never happened with previous New Balance shoes). I ended buying a cheapo $20 pair of non-slips from Wal-Mart and they're much more comfortable. I love New Balance sneakers, but these things are terrible. How these made it past the testing phase is a complete mystery, even the shoelaces are too short. A complete waste of $100 from a trusted brand that can't be returned.
If I could give less than one star I would
I'd also recommend:
Literally EVERY other non-slip I've owned are more comfortable than these
