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.

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.

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.
