My foot was noticeably wider than the shoe when standing up. I could feel the inside edge of the foam insert on the bottom of my foot. The length was true to size. The arch support felt relatively good, with a proper fitting width it might be great. My last handful of shoes have all been New Balance size 9 width 4E. This is the second NB 9 4E I've tried recently and both were too narrow. Returned for a refund.

I really wanted to like these shoes. The color and style are exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, the back of the shoe curved up and dug into my ankle. Also, the workmanship was not acceptable. There was a raw edge, a lack of piping, in one section near the laces that will fray upon use. I was very disappointed that the tongue was not wide enough at the top so the laces rubbed against my socks. This is clearly a design oversight for wider widths. I have this problem with some others but the gap here was too wide for me to consider keeping this beautiful shoe.

Tight on the bridge of my foot. Liked the looks of the shoe, didn't like the fit.

Wish I would have read the comments before purchasing. My wife bought the shoes for me before Christmas and I didn't try them on until I needed them a couple of weeks ago, which was after the return period. My right foot is maybe a quarter of a size longer than my left, which makes these shoes tight on my right foot and unwearable for me. They run maybe a quarter of a size smaller than the other versions I have of the same shoe.

I have another pair of fresh foam nb that are foamier and more comfortable I'm the heal than these purchased directly from you. I thought the new ones purchased from you direct would be as comfortable in the heal. Not the case. Disappointed.

Shoe is extremely light weight and breathable, which is great for warmer weather, but I question its durability. I didn't notice in the photos that the toe cap is so minimal that it doesn't even cover the balls of the foot, so I assume that will be the first part to wear through. The sizing is accurate for me (9.5 4E)

I normally wear size 10 in New Balance. The size 10 in these sneakers was like a size 9!

Left foot shoe heel has a defect making it painful to wear with too much pressure on the heel and breaking the skin on the heel. Shoes have only been worn twice. Have worn New Balance before so suspect poor quality control. Right foot shoe feels perfect. Wish I could return.

Immediately upon putting on the 680v7 the top portion of the heel folded down into the shoe. Upon that portion of the heel did not pop back into its original shape. When I manually pulled it out into its original shape I could feel that the inner layer was not returning to shape. I returned to shoe.

Nice looking shoes, but my husband couldn't get his feet into them. They are marked with the correct size and width, but are definitely smaller shoes. Surprising issue for this brand; normally NB products are right on, fit-wise.

Nice looking shoe that seems comfortable, but they run very small both width and length. Bought these to replace my old 775's which were listed as the exact same size (10.5, 4e). The old 775's fit much better than these.

Continuing the trend by New Balance of cheapening workmanship and undersizing their products.

I've been wearing fresh from for years. I'm a teacher and I'm on my feet all day long. The insole in these is disappointing and the overall shoe is not nearly as supportive as previous purchases. I think I'll purchase something else next time.

Appears well constructed. Nice support. I have been a New Balance customer for a long time. Unfortunately, I can't wear this shoe as the width is narrower than my past New Balance shoes.
