So uncomfortable!

These are literally the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever owned. There’s almost no arch support, both of my heels were hurting after a couple of hours and the toe box was very tight. I have bought several pairs of New Balance over the years, as I am on my feet for work. These are in no way like the shoes I have had before.

The fit is very good, I'm breaking in the shoes now and so far so good! I need the wide with for my wide feet and I have been wearing new balance for 25 years.

The first time I bought NB was a year ago. I had the scan done on my feet and found the perfect shoe for me. Now I ordered online with confidence and am very happy with my purchase! They support my feet all day long!

Not comfortable

Tried it out for a run, not for me.. a bit hard on the landing, not comfortable. Looking for a way to return but don’t think they accept worn shoes

New Comfort & New World

I wasn't expecting these shoes to be as big of a change as it has been! The comfort is super great, and it feels like I am floating sometimes! I notice a complete difference in my energy levels, because I have better support in my feet. I am able to slip them on, and slip them right off without any issues. I naturally have wide feet, so I was concerned if my 8.5 would fit, but it fits perfect!

I really like them and wanted them but had to send back due to them being a bit smaller than I thought. But worth the price!

Decided to get back into running after a multi year hiatus. So far have served me very well on multiple 3-4 mile jogs, largely on city sidewalks. Very supportive and comfy. Ordered a 7.5W and fit true to size.

Look awesome on my wife feet, comfortable and light weight. She loves them, too early to talk about quality but the details are good

The shoe fit great and is very comfortable. I really don't like the amount of foam that this shoe has gone up to. I prefer to have more contact with the ground. It was on sale, so I'll keep it but will look for a shoe with less foam.
