I really wanted to like this shoe. The color is deep and Rich the style is sleek for my narrow foot but the left shoe has this clip to it when I’m walking or running in them I have tried wearing a big sock versus a thin sock and it doesn’t matter it just has a click in the crease when I take a step

Light and comfortable with a more durable sole. Fits a little small and hoping it wears well.

The new balance shoes no longer appear to fit my feet right. I do not care for the thick cushioned bottoms. These shoes actually hurt my feet. I will be considering other brands to find that perfect feet. I’ve loved new balance for many years.

Bought two pairs a few weeks apart. The first pair was stiff but broke in in one day. The second identical pair is still stiff. I am recovering from surgery on my left foot so I cannot wear the second pair. Also, not enough cush between my foot and the ground. I prefer the more expensive sneakers that you make because of the cush.

Good overall shoe, but stiff outer material

The shoes are overall comfortable for training at the gym. I cant tie the laces snug without them hurting the tops of my feet. Especially when the foot is flexed. I have been wearing NB shoes for over a decade and this is the first shoe I had where the outer material is so stiff (not like my 880's) that the material doesn't 'give'. So with some adjustments I got them where they need to be . Not a deal breaker! I am normally a ladies size 8 but always size up to accommodate the NB arch support inserts. That said, I sized up to 8.5 wide and they fit well, albeit a tiny bit too big (hence me trying to tighten the laces). If I had the chance to order again I'd order my true size (but still select wide to add the inserts).

I overpronate. This is the first pair of shoes I've owned that I don't. They are so comfortable. I bought 2 pair. 1 I leave at work ( I am a pct in a hospital). The other I wear at home and out and about. My do not hurt at all.

Have only worn Skechers up until I tried this pair of New Balance. This is my second pair. They are extremely comfortable and my feet no longer hurt at the end of the day. Only request I have is I would love to see this comfort in a more fashionable sneaker like Skechers. Looking forward to buying a third pair!

This is the first time I have purchased this style and I am impressed. I purchased them mainly for cardio and weight training workouts. They are light weight, fit well and are very comfortable. Would definitely recommend them. Thinking of purchasing a second pair down the road.

I bought these for cardio kickboxing classes and agility work.They are good enough to keep but I’d prefer more cushioning so I’ll not be purchasing again. Sizing is accurate for me
