I just received these and put them on about 15 minutes ago so I can't give anything but first impressions, but I'm pleased with the sizing - it seems right - and I like the way they look and, for the most part, how they feel. The one thing I don't understand is why nobody seems to make shoes with any arch support anymore. Has everyone except me mysteriously become flat-footed?

My Brooks Ghost 12s served me well for a long time...albeit also without appreciable arch support...

Lack of suede on the ankle is perfect because it would get stiff from sweat. Not too narrow. Had my tricks day 1. Learned a bunch of tricks. Primo not too bad. I don't jump down stuff so no comment on impact.
But I wouldn't buy off sale because the bottom is gone. I only ever drag-stop with my heel but somehow my big toe is starting to go through the bottom. I guess just from pushing and lining up for kickflips. That's why I am here, buying another pair on sale. That said, I bought these with new grip tape. Results may vary.

Stiff show that will take some time to break in. Wish it had elastic to keep the tongue in place.
Style is nice and this shoe is wide enough for my foot. The NB 425 were to narrow for me.

These shoes are mint! I was in need of replacing my old 331's(which, btw, please bring them back) and was looking for a white/off white shoe again. I generally use NB skate shoes for work because I prefer the sleek design and grip they provide.
The only nitpick I have, and the thing that holds it back, are the insoles. Personally I would have chosen FreshFoam inserts like the 331's; they would've complimented these nicely, but I digress.
Overall a great shoe in my book!

I love the look & feel of this shoe. They are light & flexible. Love the gum soles too. The only complaint I have is it's a little tight near the toe box & was uncomfortable. I used a shoe stretcher on them & now they fit great. Really love the style of these shoes. I've gotten compliments on them every time I wear them.

Really like the shoes. I wear an 11 in virtually all my shoes and definitely many pairs of New Balances. These run slightly wide in the front which makes them feel a little to big, but not big enough to exchange for a smaller size. Overall very happy with them and have received many compliments about them.

Nice looking shoe. The white / cream colour way looks great. Not super comfortable and a bit flat feeling.

Just a bit uncomfortable but a wider size would ruin the look of them, they're design is awesome and I would change a single color.

The style and fit were true to size... and they were everything I expected... I just wish they had a little more arch support!

Love the style. Way too narrow for my feet. To be fair, I have pretty wide feet for my size.

I wear a woman’s 8 in other new balance sneakers so I was surprised when I took these out of the box and saw how big they were. I’m wondering if it’s because they are men’s sizing? They are quite cute so I hope I can get a smaller size! It’s great that Zappos let you send back with out shipping fees!

New Balance offers discounts through my employer, but I could not apply the discount at check-out. When I called customer service to understand why the first rep quickly dismissed my request and said the shoes I wanted didn't qualify and hung up. After doing a little more research, I couldn't find where that was the case in New Balance's policy, so I called again. The second rep clarified that these particular shoes didn't qualify, which I learned to be accurate, but she was curt and hung up the phone without asking if there was anything else she could help me with. I'm sorry if my inquiry to apply for a discount wasted your time. Although the shoes are great, I am reluctant to shop at New Balance again based on that service.

Had a similar problem to one of the other reviews, sizing for this particular shoe is really off. I have 4 or 5 other pairs of New Balance all size 9, ordered a size 9 of these and they are more the length of a 10 or 11. Super strange that they fit like this. I like the shoe itself but NB really should check how they're sizing this model of shoe.

The back end of the shoe is bit high and it hits my ankles, plus shoe is flat on ground little wide and the material are hard. I would like it to be little softer.

The white portion is not as white as I wanted. More cream colored. Fit is ok. Not as comfy as most NB tennis shoes.

Fit and style were great, unfortunately the sole makes a loud squeaky noise with each step on bare floors. Going back.
