These fell like any shoe I can purchase at Walmart or Target for under $40. They have no breath-ability, minimal shock absorption and no arch support whatsoever. All in all there just another pair of shoes. Funny thing with shoe sizes now days versus 25 years ago. These and pretty much most shoes these days, they fit my feet the same as an 8 1/2 standard width. This shoe is a 9 EE Wide I was in my 30's 25 years ago and I only way 5 lbs more, so my feet didn't grow the shoes aren't actually made to the correct size. This isn't new, but another example of shrink-flation only shrink-flation occured with shoes 20 to 25 years ago.

They weren't bad and felt like they'd be comfortable to wear, but they were just too narrow for me. I had to return them because they were tight on my toes

Very durable restaurant shoe. Just not wide enough in the toe box. I ordered wide. Great non slip. Just looking for more room in the toe. Most lifers like myself have duck shaped feet that shoe companies refuse to recognize.

Been wearing the NB 860 v11 in a 13 2E. So I bought this in the same size, it has no arch support and if I wanted it I would likely need a 14 4E.

Love the way the shoe looks and love the pattern of the slip resistant sole. I'm a meat supervisor and these are the only shoes I've purchased where the meat didn't stick on the bottom. Major plus. But these are only comfortable for a while, so yes they need insoles. New balance should do more shoes with this sole.

Great looking shoe but if you're gonna be on your feet all day buy the best insoles you can, these don't have the cushion of the ROAV shoes or other fresh foams.

Giving a very 'medium' review since I can't comment on comfort, durability, non-slip sole...the shoe was so narrow, at a 4E (my normal width in New Balance, and the width of the other New Balance shoes I ordered and kept) that I could barely squeeze in a foot. Exceptionally narrow, returned immediately.

Shoe is used for work and I do a lot of walking and I am on my feet most of the day. Shoe is too narrow and is not as comfortable as advertised. Definitely not work the money.

I purchased these shoes for my husdand, who is a restaurant manager and he says that they do not slip at all but at the end of the day the shoes are not comfortable.

My first pair was great. This pair of shoes doesn't seem like they were made the same. Not as comfortable.

This shoe began to peel and flake around the top of the shoe. Overall, it is a comfortable shoe.

I bought a 9 1/2 4E which is normally my size. But, it seems in this shoe, I would need to go a size wider. It fits to narrow on my feet. Still a great shoe.

These shoes are not true to size marked. I would say they are at least one size smaller than indicated in length and width

I have an unusually wide foot, with hammertoes. I ordered 4E, and they were far too narrow

Besides the fact they are not as water resistant as first thought and the no stability they are great lol. And that's just a a day of work in a greasy kitchen as a chef. We'll see

This was my first experience wearing a fresh foam sneaker and even though comfortable with the foam padding material the shoe ran narrow in front which was to tight for me being a taller person with a large shoe size. I wear a size 13 standard and am on my feet for long hours at a time working n a kitchen and the narrow front was a little to tight in front so I went back to 626v2 for the wider front width.

I was looking for a good work shoes for evening shift school custodian. I walk 5-8 miles every evening at work on sometimes, slick wet tile. These shoes fit the bill. The slip resistant is excellent. The comfort is great as well. I worry about if the shoes will hold up. I've had these shoes around 3 months and I have to say, they are not holding up like i would have wanted. The "Fresh Foam" is starting to collapse. I thought industrial brand shoes would've held up better. The sole is holding strong though. I would've like if they were, some type, of water resistant.

These sneakers look good for an all black shoe that is needed for a work environment. However, without offering a wide version in my size it was a risk from the start. Beyond it being too narrow, the shoe just isn't supportive or have enough cushion for a long shift. I will wear these shoes in short burst of a few hours, but they won't be coming to work anymore. The Foam looks good...but their traditional soles work better.
