I ordered these for my husband that always wear New Balance sneakers. I needed a slip-on model with the no tie kind of laces. The way the description said that was the only model that way. Unfortunately, it does have regular laces. In addition the way the tongues is attached to the rest of the shoe, their idea of slip on, makes it very snug and difficult to slide his foot in. Very disappointed.

Stretchy and comfortable. Squishy outsole, not the usual NB long wearing outsole. I'm using these for "around the house" shoes so I don't care abut the sole longevity. They pull on but they're not step ins (like a Sketcher).
I've been buying NBs for decades. This is the first shoe that didn't run true to size. Had to return for a half size up.
Overall, decent shoes. A wider toe box would be an improvement.

these were too narrow -- even in a wide -- for my son. usually New Balance has shoes that fit him so I think it might be the style (slip-ons).

I have been 10.5 M my adult life. Returned as they were too small (at least 1/2 size). Nice looking shoe and quite comfortable. Ordered 11 M as a replacement. Fingers crossed !!

It's a nice comfortable and stylish sneaker. I was looking for something black with white soles so that when I am traveling I can use them to go to the gym or go out for a walk. Also, it goes with anything, shorts, long pants, etc. To me NB fits just like Nike where you have to go either a full size or half size if you have experience with either brand you will know your actual size to order.

Shoe was not worth the price paid. Shoe looks blue in the sunlight and I purchased black. Couldn’t tell difference in arch support. They make noise when walking . I had better shoes for half the price.

I have been wearing NB shoes for 40 plus years. This is the first time that a 2E width wasn't wide enough. Maybe they will break in but it was disappointing for a 2E to be narrow. Otherwise a very cushy shoe.

Really comfy. Bought for my teen son. They got so beat up so fast and he doesn’t play sports or even go to gym class. Disappointed that $70 sneaks look crappy after just a month and a half. But he really likes them and thinks they comfy.

These were allegedly the same size as my previous pair. They were extremely tight and narrow. The aforementioned previous pair fits perfectly, so it is not as if my foot grew. The quality is still good, but trying a larger size.

Nice looking, slip-on-easy shoes that have that cushy bounce feel. They do run narrow and had to buy a wide. I would've kept them but the bottom material creates a lot of extra noise when walking.

Comfortable when standing but heal strength is weak so heel slips badly. Couldn't walk without discomfort.

A hole formed in the mesh within 3 months of normal use. But otherwise, they were very comfortable and stylish.

These shoes fit great and felt comfortable, but within weeks or ordinary daily wear (not PE or exercise or athletic activity), the upper developed holes and were fraying significantly.

Watch out - the tongue is sewed down on the sides, makes it difficult to get the shoe on.

I was excited about these sneakers for playing tennis. However, the wear and tear on the toe has been sub-optimal. After only a few wears I’ve developed holes in front near the big toe. I would steer clear of this shoe - which is disappointing because NB usually has good quality.

I wanted a pair of lace up tennis shoes. What I received was a pair of SLIP ON tennis shoes that had laces. The sides of the tongue on the tennis shoe was literally connected to the sides of the shoes itself. I have large feet and couldn't get my feet into the small opening. I just ordered a different style of show and hopefully they will have a tongue that is connected on the sides and I can get my feet into them
