I wish New Balance could harmonize their shoe size across models. I'm a true 8.5 but this one felt more like 8.25. Just tad too tight to feel comfortable. Put in an exchange order for 9. I would order half size larger if you are even 0.1 over 8.5

I have another pair of this same shoe in a different color. I liked them so much that I ordered this pair. Very comfortable, but this pair had a little more toe and foot room than the other pair. However, they still fit ok.

My normal size in New Balance is 10 and these fit perfectly. Very comfortable, also.

These are great if you have a narrow foot, which I do. If I can find cute shoes that come in narrows (which is getting more difficult these days) I wear an 8.5N. The 8.5 medium in these shoes fit perfectly.

The product is great I bought these mens New. Balance sneakers for myself as a female and really like them. I was disappointed that I bought them in the outlet store and then found them cheaper in the LL Bean store across the street on the sale rack cheaper and there was nothing the store could do to rectify the discrepancy

Love the color, that classic gray does for me all the time. The comfort is real in these.

Every shoe feels different for everyone so I can't say these were bad but it just didn't fit my feet as I had hoped it would. The toe box felt more constricted than other New Balance models I've worn so I don't know if it needs to be broken in first. If the shoe feels comfortable for you, getting it as a deep discount is a no brainer.

I’m returning because they are too narrow at the toe. I expected more cushion in the heel. Loved the look!

I had to return as these were too narrow for my foot, which is surprising as my foot is fairly narrow anyway. I went to a NB store locally and bought 997H in my size that fit perfectly.

loved the color of this shoe, unfortunately the toe box is narrow and did not fit like my other new balance.

This shoe is not wide as advertised. The toe box is very narrow and the instep is tight. Love the color and style. Sad this one has to go back due to poor fit.
