I love these shoes! They’re really cute, and I hiked in them the weekend I received them. Sizing is off though: I typically wear 9.5, but I purchased a 10 and had to return them for a 10.5.

I am a true size 11 and have many pairs of NB. This is the first pair that was too small. My toe hit the end. They are great looking just too small.

Perfect fit. Love the design and details of this shoe! Ordered my normal size 7 and it fits a bit snug but will be fine after a few wears. Love these shoes!

I loved the look of the shoe but it was very small. My big toe came to the very top of the shoe. Unfortunately I couldn’t get another pair in time for my trip so I had to return.

Incredibly loose fit. 2 trail runs resulted in bruised toe nails and very sore feet. I needed a half size larger than my prior New Balance trail shoes. Just couldn’t get the right fit. Beautiful though

I wear a 9.5 wide in most shoes. I always get that size for a little extra room. You could size up, I did get my normal size and have no issues. But I'm an in between (9 and 9.5) so it worked out for me. If you sometimes find your normal size shoe in different brands being on the verge of too small I would defiantly size up half a size.
Apart from that, they shoe is working great for me. Back surgery in 2020 and since having these shoe Ive been walking around doing over 12k steps and no leg/foot pain.

Felt true to size as I have found with new balance products. Very comfortable for all day wearing, stylish also. Your shopping policy is so easy, there is no reason not to return again and again!

Got my usual NB 8 wide and am having to stretch width a bit for bunion. Am 7 in regular shoes. Others here complain of adjusting ties as difficult. Yes, it is definitely a spatial I Q test! But once you get it done do you ever have to readjust? No. The shoestring design and the exotic sole shape make this a great looking and fun shoe. Could use more arch support but not high end for NB and a little lambs wool helps with the arches. Shoe is quite stable and good thick sole. I think my tannish ones will be great summer look with shorts and short skirts. Cheers!

I had to return my true size and get a half size up but I love them. They are my favorite shoes. You wouldn’t think it but Pink and yellow go with most things!

I take a 10.5 X-wide in Brooks Ghost. Based on the reviews here, I ordered an 11-wide. I was afraid the wide wouldn't be wide enough, but they are. Haven't worn them out yet, but feel very comfortable and love the Purple/Fushia color.

Fit like my normal tennis shoe size. I’m almost always a solid 7 and that’s exactly what I ordered. Might be a tad bit snug but will be perfect after a few wears. So cute in person! The laces are a bit funky but give the shoes their cute character. I love them!

I like these shoes. I wear an 11.5W and the 12W fit well. There is a tiny bit of arch support. The style is mostly good except for the weird spiky design of the bottom. The design makes the back part of the sole extend beyond where most shoes and I expect to catch it on things.

Run really small. Feels like a whole size too small. My toes hurt! Can't wear them. Nice colors though.

Too small. I’ve had several pairs of new balance and am always a 9. Except in these my toes were crunched at the end. Not comfortable.

I liked the shoe and found it easy to put on, but the space for the toes was cramped and put a lot of pressure on the sides of my foot. Almost painful. Perhaps it would have eased after wearing for a while, but I didn't want to risk doing damage to my feet or not being able to return it.

I love New Balance but this style lacked comfort and had minimal arch support. They also run 1/2 size small and felt tight even though I went up 1/2 size to allow my feet to expand when hiking longer distances.

all was fine if you have small feet. If you have big feet, they will make them look gargantuan.

I am a true size 10 medium. These were a 9 narrow. Super cute shoe, I would have replaced with an 11 but was not in stock. I have been buying all my families shoes from Zappos for years! Love the service and ease of purchase/return.
