Customer Reviews New Balance Classics 530

Been searching for an everyday shoe that provides support for walking and normal wear, and goes with a lot of outfits. This one is the winner! It reminds me of the running shoes I wore in the early aughts. Supportive, nice cushion, comfortable on my aging feet, which need more love these days. I go between 6.5 and 7 in women’s and ordered both to compare, as several reviews said they run large. I didn’t experience this, and the 7 (my usual running shoe size) fit the best, with the slight wiggle room I need (and ability to wear thicker socks if need be). If you’re on the fence I say go for it! It’s a reliable brand and good value for a shoe like this.

Typically wear an 8 in sneakers but took a 7.5 in these. Super comfortable and lightweight.

SO comfortable. I’m so glad I bought these. They cushion is so comfortable but doesn’t feel too thick when you’re walk on them. True to size.

I have to return these Sneakers because after wearing them all day in my carpeted apartment, suddenly I felt a pain on a bone of my right foot. I took the shoe off to find that the tongue of the shoe was sewn in in a way that leaves a ridge which rubs right against a bone on the right side of my foot. Also, they feel like slippers in my apartment HOWEVER, I live in midtown Manhattan and when I'm outside, I'm walking on concrete. sidewalks exclusively. I suspect there will be very little support outside of my cushy carpet.

Comfortable and trendy casual shoe. Have in multiple colors. Do feel like they run slightly large but can do either my true size or half size smaller.

I don't wear shoes that bend in half. So I returned them.

I have wide feet and ordered a 6.5. It’s super comfortable and width was perfect for even my wide feet. I ordered two more pairs. I will wear it with leggings, jeans, summer dresses, shorts…these shoes will be very versatile with my casual style and wardrobe.

The best shoes i’ve ever had.

These sneakers are the most comfortable ones I ever owned. They are the best for walking particularly if you're going on a trip and will be walking and visiting a lot. However, they are not true to size, I usually wear 8 and with these it shows 7 1/2 for men or 6 women. Strange but it works. It is my third pair & I'll stick with them as long as NewBalance make them.

I like them and they are very comfortable. The only thing is that I feel they are at little loose on me

I normally wear 9 in Nikes women but I should have sized down with these New Balance since they’re unisex. I could’ve went with a 8.5. Overall, they’re very cute and comfortable.

Bought these for my daughter for school and she loves them so far. Says they have great support and are comfortable out of the box.

Bellos , son true size , el color la calidad son preciosos combinan con cualquier ropa lo compre para mi hermana y le facinaron

I find many good things about these shoes. The fit is good. The toe box is wide enough. I would always opt for more arch support, but these are adequate. What I absolutely do not like about either pair I bought is the fact that the tongue will not stay in place. It slides either left or right, but never stays in place. That’s really unfortunate for a shoe that I really like otherwise.

I usually wear the Asics Gel-1130, but it’s so difficult to find them in stock, especially in neutral colors. So I heard that the 530 was similar, so I figured I’d give them a try and I’m happy that I did. If you have a wide toe box like I do, but your ankles and heels are narrow/average, these are perfect. Stylish and lightweight without looking flat. The one thing I’ll say is that I should have listened to the reviews and recommendations to get a half size down. I’m a D width, so if you are too or you’re any narrower, I’d definitely recommend going a half size down.

The shoe is really cute, but felt very cheap and thin. So aesthetically I liked it, but it’s not cushioned much and feels quite stiff even though it’s all mesh. I sized up half a size because I tend to need more room in the toe box because of bunions, but it still felt just a tad small. Also when I walk, I feel the top part of the shoe collapsing and pressing down right at my toes, which after a few miles of walking I’m sure would start to hurt.

I already submitted a review. I'm returning these sneakers because the placement of the tongue of the right sneaker rubs against my bone.

Apparently, these shoes are meant for both men and women. Weird! Men and women have different feet, yet these were marked for both. The label on the box seems to show a men's D width, which to me is a Wide. Anyway, I usually take size 7 or 7 1/2 in women's and in a B width. These were 7's and were too long and way too wide. Plus, I didn't really care for the look of them. I think I'll be sticking with Brooks.

I sent these New Balance sneakers back because they were more like slippers than shoes. I live in a city with not one blade of grass to walk on but plenty of sidewalks. Therefore they absolutely gave me little support and most definitely left my toes completely unprotected.

I've worn New Balance for a number of years. These Classics 530 just didn't match comfort at all.

These are not the new balances I loved wearing in the early aughts. They have NO arch support. It feels like you're walking on cardboard. Kind of like what it feels like to walk in Chuck Taylors. To make matters worse, the ankle part digs into my ankle as does the tongue. These are just NOT new balances.

Loved but I felt them a little bigger.

Fits perfect! Need a little breaking in but overall perfect

I’m usually a 6.5 and decided to get the 6.5 fits a bit big so I wear thick socks with them to make them fit better definitely go with a size down.

They were great, my daughter loved them.
