As expected - great looking, fits well, and comfortable
Love the shoes. Again, great looking and comfortable. The sole is not quite as padded as I expected so more of an out and about shoe than for long walks - 4+ miles. I would buy this shoe again.... Show more

Came undone within 30days
The stock pictures on the site don't do the yellow color way justice. The color, fit, comfort and silhouette of the sneaker are great. I do a lot of daily city walking and the sneaker has good support, it's sturdy with light cushion. This is the only reason why I didn't get a lower review otherwise it would've been 1 star for how NB handled this situation. Within 30 days the stitching started to come undone at the tongue extremely disappointed w/ quality control there. I went to the store and they informed me contact the 1800 for a replacement & refund, they seemed empathetic and surprised that the stitching was coming undone. When I called the 1800 I was offered a coupon on a future purchase with no solution on replacing 997h in the color way I ordered originally.... Show more

good looking shoe but runs small
Reminded me of New Balance Toucans but a third of the cost. I wear a size 10 so I went exact. My toes were right at the very end and while overall fit was super comfortable , it was this constant feeling of my toes being crowded which made it somewhat uncomfortable. But again, it was still comfortable. I liken it to being in a relationship with someone you love but there’s this one little thing that irks you. Quick fix was removing my socks and going barefoot and it gave me some relief. I definitely recommend these kicks but go up half a size if you plan on wearing socks otherwise you will have this weird uncomfortable/comfortable experience.... Show more

looks great, but
Comfy shoe, but the sole felt too light/thin… love the style and almost kept these based on looks alone, but I need a more supportive sole. If you’re going to use these lightly for quick errands youll be fine.... Show more

Love the fit, love the look
997H's are my first introduction back to New Balance in about 15 years and I can confidently say these shoes brought me back. They're super comfortable and they fit my foot the right way. I wear half a size bigger in NB than other brands, but that's no big deal. The style of these shoes is also something I've been looking for. I think they border the line of casual and eye-catching very nicely.... Show more

more comfortable and better arch support than the 574..
This shoe is good for narrow feet as well. It's the most comfortable fit of all the NB shoes I own; which are plenty ! I recently bought a pair in Varsity Green which I have been waiting for; previously only available outside the US. I bought several pairs of the 574 and now wish I hd bought the light blue color in the 997 H instead. Both shoes are attractive but the 997 H as started above offers more support and comfort. I recommend both ( 574 and 997) for great look; attractive color choices and price point.... Show more

Stylishly Fresh
Comfort with style. It's crazy because I obsess over these sneakers. They are so comfortable And versatile. I dress them up or wear some sweats with them. I do a walk everyday and they are so so supportive on my feet. I am definitely buying another pair when they have my size.... Show more

Super comfortable
I purchased these because of the color way and I have to say they are one of the most comfortable pairs I own. I have RSD and planters fasciitis with instability in my ankle from a full ankle fusion. I am able to walk with ease, not too heavy, and my feet feel supported in these shoes.... Show more

Very lite and comfy
Excellent heel and arch support. Snug and comfortable toe box and footbed. Smart looking pair. Best shoes I've bought in a while. I have disk and and sciatic problems causing my gate to be off but these shoes really are easy on that.... Show more

Visually Stunning & Comfortable
I could not wait to put these shoes on as soon as I pulled them out of the box. The compliments I got from co-workers validated how I felt about them as well. They very comfortable and very stylish as well. I love my 997H shoes.... Show more
