Comfortable and bouncy
I have older pairs of these shoes in different colors, and wondered if there would be any changes in this newer pair. Thankfully, they are as comfortable as expected. I ordered up one size, as they are a bit narrow for me. If your foot is not wide, your regular size should do. I sprayed waterproof on them, and the white trim always looks new. I also use a heal cup because of foot issues, so this gives an already-comfortable platform a little extra bounce. The only complaint I have about these shoes are that the laces are way too long in every pair I own. Short of buying new laces, or trying a fancy technique, they are hard to keep tied. Otherwise, these are excellent.... Show more

Comfortable and sturdy
I have been wearing Hokas for the past few years and have fallen out of love with them. They caused callouses on the sides of both big toes and contributed to lower back pain. New Balance were recommended by several online sites so I tried them. They are not as heavily cushioned as Hokas, so they took some getting used to, but after a couple of weeks of walking, my back pain is better and my callouses are gone.... Show more

Comfortable shoe for plantar fasciitis
These are very comfortable and great for wide feet.I stand long hours for work & usually have to wear a heel insole but I don’t need them with these shoes.Lacking a star due to color of the shoe. These are not crisp white like the picture displays, but more of a very light gray.I still kept them because of the comfort level but wished they were all white.... Show more

Disappointing
I bought them last august and they’re already breaking on the front. They’re pretty comfortable and I was willing to get another pair but the points of the shoes are showing some holes.I’ve had the same pair of adidas shoes for more than 5 years that I’ve worn excessively and have no damage at all. This shouldn’t be happening with new balance.I’m completely disappointed. I had big hopes for this ones.... Show more

Gorgeous trending Peacock color
Bought these during Black Friday so added bonus with the discount! I usually wouldn't call a sneaker BEAUTIFUL but this one is. I bought the Turquoise/Aqua in a 9.5. Gorgeous color like Peacock blue. Super light weight and true to size; like a comfy glove. I just ordered another pair I love them so much!... Show more

Inconsistent
I bought these in "light blue" and "red", but that is not a true description of what colors they are. "Light Blue" is really a seafoam green. I do not see any bit of blue or even aqua tint to them. "Red" is really orange with fuchsia highlights. I also sized up one whole size, as they do not come in wide. I would say the medium width is accurate. The larger shoe was a good choice, as they seem to run a bit small, and they do not slip. The footbeds are different in each color. The orange shoes felt lumpy and the freshfoam edges around my foot were uneven (I returned them.) The green sneakers are very comfortable with no lumps or uneven spots in the soles. Both are made of mesh, and the shoes are light weight. I like New Balance, so I was pleased that the green color ...

I feel the inconsistency in color and fit/feel may make it a bit frustrating to find your perfect pair, but overall, this is a good shoe. I did not purchase them for running, however, as my primary exercise is walking.... Show more

Made my feet hurt, do not recommend
I walk a lot. My previous shoes were the Roav New Balance and I loved them but unfortunately they wore out quickly on the bottoms. I decided to try these as they looked like the sole is a little more substantial and won’t wear out as fast. Made my feet hurt after one two mile walk. I tried to give them another chance, but just got worse. Poor arch support, especially compared to the Roav the insoles of these are completely flat. Rubbed the back of my ankle raw, even through socks. Ran small and narrow and I have narrow feet. Had to return.... Show more

Perfect gym shoe
Spent a while trying to find a reasonably priced simple trainer for running and gym. Happy withy choice. They're light, soft and comfortable with a good width plus they look great.Two small points, running on the road I found the tred is quite slippery as its a minimal depth tred and secondly the laces are really thin which makes them feel as though they will snap everytime I tie them.Other than this, very happy. Arrived quickly and great service.... Show more

Roomy, Comfortable, Wearing out quickly
I purchased this shoe a couple of weeks ago and have worn them maybe 5 times. They are very comfortable for walking. I have not used them for running as I have Brooks shoes I usually use for running. I have wider feet and the front of the shoe has a lot of wiggle room. My only complaint is the front of the show where the fabric meets the rubber at the toe is already slightly frayed. I would expect the shoes to hold up a bit better than that for only wearing them a few times.... Show more

Very comfortable, wore out quickly
I am giving these shoes a 3 because they have a few nice features about them, but a few not so nice either. They are very comfortable for starters, but yes the laces are very cheaply made. And although they are comfortable I wore them to work for like 3 weeks ( 3 12h shifts a week) and the support/sole of the shoes have worn down so much in only3 weeks that they are starting to hurt my feet terribly again. The once very bouncy and reactive soles of the shoes now are majorly worn down and have lost all their bounce! But I decided to give it 3 stars because maybe they would be better to use for something other than work where I’m standing on my feet all night.... Show more
