Good fit; tread wore out too fast.
Originally posted on New Balance US
Loved the fit and feel, but the tread wore very quickly. In less than a couple months, the tread was worn flat - I only hiked in them a few times a week.

I bought these for a bike hike and bike trip. I wanted something light, waterproof and good tread. These shoes killed it!!! Love them!

These run unusually small
Originally posted on New Balance US
Nice shoe but sized very small. I really wanted these to work for me. I purchased them in my usual NB size 8 , and had to return them because they were way too small. I ordered the next 1/2 size up, a 9, which I never worn, and still they were too small ( very short in the toe), so I returned those and ordered a 9.5. The right shoe seemed to have been formed wrong in the toe box because my toes in that shoe were being smashed down from the top, so I give up. Had to return them. Wish they had worked for me.

So far so good
Originally posted on New Balance US
I agree with others who have suggested to size up. I usually wear a 6.5, and ordered a 7. I also usually wear a woman's wide which is what I ordered this time and the shoes fit just fine.

Sizing issue
Originally posted on New Balance US
Purchased this shoe for commuting (walking/biking) in the rainy PNW. I wear NB shoes for running and they fit me well. The suggestion on this shoe is to order a half size up as they run small for many people. I usually order a half size up for my running shoes so did that for this shoe as well but this one is too big. I wore them once and hope I can exchange them.

Got for both trail runs and running in wet conditions on paved roads. As expected, Goretex is a bit more stiff so these aren’t my everyday running shoes but I love having them for those rainy day or snowy runs :)

These shoes are awesome after figuring out the proper fit, I went up a whole size. They're comfortable and warm. Unfortunately it hasn't snowed yet. Only 4nstars because I haven't been able to test if they're actually waterproof.

I wanted to love them
Originally posted on New Balance US
Overall the fit is good. However, the stiff upper edge chafed a patch of skin raw on the top of the foot within minutes and I am unable to wear them. Not great cushioning compared to the 880 model.

Sizing is Completely Wrong
Originally posted on New Balance US
Really wanted this shoe, but the sizing was awful. I ordered the same size I always wear in NB and these were way too tight in the toe box and the length was extremely short. Very disappointed.

Love the waterproofing

Love that these runners are waterproof. I do like the darker color that is not completely black. I ordered the wide which if a nicer fit for me when i wear thick socks and will also feel less constraining at the end of a long day.

New Balance has great sneakers. I like the Gortex to keep your feet dry, but unfortunately the sneakers lack cushioning. You feel the hard sole as you walk.

The one thing you're never supposed to do is wear new shoes for an extended walk, but I wore these for a ten mile walk today, and they felt great. I admit I bought them mostly because I loved the color. I do wish the inserts had an actual arch. As it is I use purchased insoles.
