In live with these. Run small so size up 1/2 size. Hopefully they get different colors soon.

I love these shoes so much I bought another pair to wear every day as my original pair were for walking the dog in the rain. Truly waterproof, So comfortable and look great!

NB doesn't seem to run as wide as it used to

No, I don't recommend this
I have an old pair of New Balance trail shoes that I absolutely adore, but they don't make them anymore. So I ordered the DynaSoft Nitrel v6 Gore Tex in a wide width. I always order my running/trail shoes a full size larger than my regular shoes to accommodate for swelling, but despite that and the wide width label, these shoes are not nearly as comfortable as my old ones, the toe box is not wide enough to prevent my toes from being squeezed together and blistering, and they also blister the backs of my heels. This is actually the second pair of New Balance I've had since the beloved pair that has disappointed. Unfortunately, it's time for me to find a new brand.

This is my second pair of Gore Tex shoes from New Balance. They are great for traveling to Alaska, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, etc for dealing with any rain. Great for alot of walking and hiking. Great on irregular pavement, cobblestone streets. Good arch support, and reliable tread.

Comfy Fit

Once I realized I needed to go up a half size, this shoe became an instant favorite. The DynaSoft Nitrel v6 Gore‑Tex has a great colorway, solid quality, and a clean overall style that works on and off the trail. I work in a garden nursery, so I’m on my feet all day — walking long distances, standing for hours, and moving across different surfaces. These shoes handle all of it with no problem. The Gore‑Tex keeps my feet protected, the cushioning feels supportive, and the fit (once sized correctly) is extremely comfortable. Versatile, durable, and stylish, exactly what I needed for my work environment and everyday wear.

No longer wide.

Style has been changed in the last year - shoe has been narrowed out. A wide is no longer a true wide!

We’re sorry to hear the recent style update has changed the fit and that the wide option no longer feels like a true wide. We understand how frustrating it is when a shoe you rely on fits differently than before. Please reach out to our Customer Care team so they can review your feedback and help explore possible next steps.
L O V E them! Perfect for everything!

I love these shoes! They’re probably more comfortable for me than the 990s. Super light and stable. I have a fused ankle so my foot is really picky. I bought these for hiking in Puerto Rico…the grip was excellent! I have a tendency to slip easily, but I was solid hiking on rough and wet terrain in the rainforest. When it comes to waterproof, they’re good during the rain, but not cliff jumping into a river and swimming through caves. My feet were soaked. So could use improvement on that (joking). I wish more colors were offered. Would definitely buy them when these wear out!

Great shoe. Second pair. Goretex is a plus making it an all weather shoe.

Excellent product; runs a little small

The shoes were exactly what I needed, but they ran a little small. I wasn't able to wear my normal size.

10/10 Would Recommend!

These shoes are SO comfortable! I have issues after breaking my ankle, getting a fusion and chronic arthritis for 15 years. My foot is annoyingly picky when it comes to shoes. These are super light with good stability. I bought them for hiking in Puerto Rico in two weeks. I’ll update on hiking/waterproof when I’ve worn them more. I did have to send back for a half size larger - I normally wear 8.5 or 9 and had to go with the 9. Would love if there were more color options. As of right now, these are my favorite…even over the 990’s and Hoka!

Sneakers are comfortable. They great for walking trails, and the parking lot at work.

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.
