I walk between 20 and 25 kilometres a day. These shoes provide great support and are holding up well thus far.

Love them. Just got them in a 9.5 wide and they feel great. Perfect amount of support and padding. Toe protect is a nice extra.

I always purchase the fresh foam 880's but I loved the colour of these so I tried them out. I am so glad I did. They are a great daily shoe for anyone!

As far as the shoes, I can't comment but..I am actually returning these sneakers. They arrived as if someone else had worn and returned them. The tread was dirty, most of the lettering was off the left shoe and several nicks in the diagram N on both shoes. First time ordering from new balance actual site and not a good first impression.

Fit was perfect as sometimes I’m a 10 but most times 9.5, I got it in wide and the fit was just right.

These did not work for my foot. The wide did not fit my bunion as the foot bed itself did not seem wide enough where the fabric meets the sole in the metatarsal area.

Been wearing NB for years and years. Always a 7.5, these are a thumbs width longer than usual. I wear them for my 10+ hour shifts as a nurse so the tread is a little much but they stay comfortable all day long. Overall I do prefer the NB Roav I purchased at the same time with less aggressive tread and slightly softer footbed.

I usually wear New Balance 7.5 wide. This was ill fitting; not wide enough and felt smaller and less comfortable than previous New Balance running shoes. Very attractive shoe but even that back dug into my heel, so not a good fit for me.

Nice looking running shoe but was hesitant to exchange for 1/2 size larger and wider because the back dug into my heel.

Wayyy small. These aren't wide shoes. If I can't fit comfortably in an 8 - these are marked wrong.

I have 3 other New Balance pairs and am disappointed that this do not fit as expected. There is NO arch support and the heel it tall so all the pressure is on the ball of my foot. I need the pressure OFF the balls of my feet! Also the tongue isn't wide enough to cover the opening after my foot is inside (from my high arches) and there is a gap where the tongue doesn't cover my foot and the laces can rub.

I'm running out of brands because they keep redesigning and messing up my favorite fitting shoes.

I wear a brooks 7.5 wide and love them, but this new balance 7.5 wide was not nearly as wide as my brooks and too tight.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks and any brands that allow for a lot of room in the toe box

Shoe felt more like regular width. Not overly comfortable for the brief period I wore them. More stiff/less cushion than expected. Love the style & look of the shoe, fit just didn't work for me.

I was originally going to return because I felt the wife wasn’t wide enough but I changed my mind. I LOVE these shoes. I do wear them with thinner socks than my normal athletic socks. They’re super comfortable and I’ve gotten so many compliments.

Very comfortable. I have a narrow foot and they fit perfectly. Use them for walking. I wear a 7.5 or 8 and I got the eight which fits well. New Balance are my go-to tennis shoe because of how they fit me. Like the black with some pattern on it.

True to size. Great width in the toe box. Reinforcement of the toe box keeps the shoe from wearing out too quickly.
