Customer Reviews New Balance Classics WA460

These are very flimsy shoes. They are not at all what I expected from New Balance. There was almost no arch support and only a little support in the heel as well. They are not very roomy, buy half a size up if you do order them. I have narrow feet, so that itself was not a problem for me. Unfortunately with orthotics, small discrepancies in size can become an issue. I do not like athletic shoes as a rule, but this one was kind of cute. I was quite disappointed altogether.

I purchased this sneaker as a low-profile shoe for cross-training. I need a versatile sneaker than can be used for Olympic lifting, gymnastics, and running (the cushioning from typical running sneakers often causes me shin splints or other leg pain). While this sneaker is comfortable, beware: it is made for a narrow foot. I experienced no pain while running, there is great traction for performing plyometrics, and they offer stability for lifting...however, the quality of the sneaker is poor. I've only had these sneakers for 2 weeks, and they are already falling apart. The exterior is a delicate mesh that has already formed larger holes, totally wrecking the look of the shoe. This sneaker should be worn casually; it's not built for the everyday demand of very active people.

I bought these shoes for a 2 week vacation where I would be walking around quite a bit. I don't usually order wide size shoes, so I just got the regular shoes. They are very extremely narrow. My feet hurt so incredibly bad after walking around for a day. It was as if I walked around in heels or something!! Really squished my toes and had no cushioning at all.

It is a gorgeous shoe and was true to size, but it started falling apart almost immediately. The fabric parts are already threadbare and turning into holes after only two months of minimal wear. I was so disappointed.

I love these sneakers. Very cute and comfortable and stylish. Highly recommended. I bought these to wear while working out at the gym and they couldn't be more perfect. Great buy! I usually buy either a 9 1/2 or a 9. These I bought a 9 and they fit perfect.

Excellent shoes! I love these. They are super comfortable and really good looking shoes. I love wearing them to work on "casual Friday." I also wear them to weight lift at the gym and they are great.

I love these shoes. They're stylish and comfortable. I wear them to work, and recently took them on a vacation to Spain where I did a lot of walking. They don't have as much cushioning as other New Balance, but if you want something stylish this is the way to go. I would agree with some other comments here about the sizing. They do run a teeny bit on the small side, so you might want to go a half size larger. I normally wear a 9.5 in sneakers, and my toe is very close to the tip of the shoe. Also with regards to the comments about the wideness... My feet are very wide, but I just loosened up the shoe laces and its fine. All sneakers need to be broken in a little and I think this is to be expected. I'm at work and wearing my new sneakers right now... ahhh.

Loved the shoe, so comfy...no breaking in. They are just a casual shoe, got them to wear with jeans.

I love these shoes! They are very cute, and I've gotten many compliments on them. I find they fit true to size. The only downside is that they don't have as much arch/sole support as a typical athletic shoe. But if you're wearing these only as casual wear (and not for athletic purposes) it shouldn't be a big issue.

I really love these shoes! They do run a bit narrow, but it's nothing terrible. The only problem I had is that they definitely run about 1/2 size smaller than marked. I wear a very consistent 8.5, so I was very disappointed when my toe hit the end of the shoe when I put them on today. I'll definitely be exchanging them because I still love the shoe!

Great looking shoe, very comfortable. I bought these for a casual shoe I could wear with jeans to work. They look great and fit perfectly!

I love these shoes! FYI they are on the narrow side which is fine for me because I have a narrow foot. I usually wear 9 1/2 -10 and these are a good fit.

I love these shoes! I have gotten multiple compliments on how cool they look. They are very comfortable right out of the box. I have a mild-to-moderately wide food. Sometimes I can get away with a regular width, but I am happy with the wide (D) width in these.

I love these! I especially love that they come in wide, but don't look too wide. They actually make my feet look small. I've received compliments from perfect strangers.

Super comfy, lightweight, but more narrow than 'regular' New Balance. While the color is listed as Navy on the pair I bought, they are certainly more purple. But I love them, and have gotten many compliments.

These shoes are adorable. I get tons of compliments on them when I wear them, which is often. Don't be fooled by the description of red/orange. They are the color in the picture, raspberry/orange. An earlier review had pointed this out. The video shows them with matching shoe laces but for some reason this color comes only with white (customer service did not seem to know this, however it took 2 tries to get a matching laces, but didn't work). Anyway, the shoes are cute (even with white laces) and really comfortable, not great arch support that isn't a problem for me.

This is a great light-weight shoe. Confortable and good support. \r\nOriginally bought one pair for the gym and liked them so much bought a second pair and wear them both all the time.

I purchased the bright purple version of this sneaker (no longer listed), and I was pleased by how crisply designed it was. Unfortunately, it was a no-go on my wide, finicky feet -- narrow, no real arch support, and a really thin sole. This would be a sleek urban tramping shoe for ladies with very slim feet, though.

Just received this shoes and they are fantastic. I have had to wear open toed shoes for the past 6 weeks due to a toe surgery and was so happy to finally wear real shoes! These were perfect wide enough that they didn't even hurt my toe and so comfortable wore them the first day for over 12 hours and was very impressed with how comfortable they were.

I think these are great shoes. The tongue slides around a bit, but they are very comfortable. I have high arches, so I use an insert with all shoes, including these. The one major issue I have is that the shoes are more of a deep pink than a red.

I headed the advice of others and ordered it in a wide, I'm very happy that I did. When I put them on in the morning I pull the lace that is on the inside of my foot tighter to provide more arch support, it has worked out really well. Thank you reviewers and thank you Zappos.com for another awesome shoe buying experience!

These are absolutely wonderful shoes. While they don\'t have much arch support, which is too bad because I have fairly flat feet, they are extraordinarily comfortable and pretty to look at. They\'re breathable, too. Best of all, the wide size actually fits my feet! Huzzah :)

I just ordered these shoes last month (not my first New Balance). Wore them on a week long rode trip and never once thought about my feet! They were so comfortable and I was so happy that I had ordered them. I ordered the wrong size at first and the return was wonderful. I had my 2nd pair within a day and mailed my returned shoes back at no charge! What service! I have bought many pairs of shoes from Zappos and I have never had a bad experience! Their shoes are great and their service is top notch!

I wear an EU 38 in everything from clogs to 4 inch stiletto peep toes, but in this shoe, I had to return the 38s for 39s, so when I say they feel a half-size smaller than marked, I am not messing around! Thanks to Zappos' stellar customer service, the exchange was a breeze, of course. They're on the narrow side of regular which suits me fine, but note that the arch support is nearly nil. This is a slim, essential shoe is light and perfect for summer.

Super comfy and real cute looking. I ordered a size 8, and I\'m always an 8, but they were definitely too small. Sent them back and got an 8 1\/2 which fit perfectly. Definitely order a 1\/2 size larger!
