I use this shoe for running, hiking, and gym. It’s super comfortable with a wide toe box and fitted heel. Good cushioning is great for my feet and it’s lighter than other NB models I’ve worn.

I am a true size 7 in shoes and usually order a 7-1/2 in sneakers. These sneakers run on the narrow side. I ordered a 7-1/2 wide and they fit fine with a medium-thick sock. The sneaker's material stretches a little, so they're good if you have bunions. Note that the tongue is attached though, which puts a little pressure on the top of the foot, but after wearing them a few times that is becoming less of an issue. They also fit well in the heel area. Hope this helps.

While the white blue pink color is super cute, they get dirty very fast. I washed them in my washing machine and when i pulled them out the heels on both collapsed, (there is a plastic piece covered by the fabric on the heal) it was completely warped. Good news is Zappos is honoring the return as defective as a courtesy!

I had (severe) bunion surgery about 2 months ago and while my foot continues to heal I’ve found it very difficult to find a sneaker that will provide support and comfort. They felt a bit stiff at first but I quickly realized that this is helping me walk correctly, more aligned. Anyone with severe bunions knows that you don’t walk properly under those circumstances, these sneakers provide support in all the right places to ensure that I am walking correctly and my lower back isn’t hurting anymore as a result of walking properly ?

Wow perfect right out of the box I got the while blue and pink ones ..super cute ! Seems like it has extra heel support and cushion, the toe bed is slightly stiffer.

Of all the shoes in the marketplace I’m happy I bought these. They are stylish and comfortable with great arch support and a true wide fit. I appreciate the way the tongue of the shoe hugs my foot instead of just laying on the top of my foot like other shoes. I recently had both knees replaced and needed new fully supportive shoes, which I’ve now found. I’ve worn New Balance before with positive results...that helped make my decision to buy another pair.
I'd also recommend:
Skechers, Easy Spirit, Saucony, Birkenstock’s

The fit is perfect for me. I just had foot surgery and this is the first shoe I am wearing since my walking boot. They are so comfortable and cute. I have gotten several compliments already on them.

Great workout shoes. I have mild plantar fasciitis and these shoes provide sufficient shock absorption. And they look good, too.

I wear 8.5 in shoes but 9 in running shoes and these fit great. Got the black and really like how they look. Highly recommend them.

i Haven’t gone running yet but right out of the box they are comfortable. And they are true to size. I wear 8.5 in all shoes except for my Saucony and Nike running shoes which I ALWAYS have to size up .5. I have been in Saucony Guide for years and decided to try something new because the traction has worn quickly. I also have slight overpronation and think that the Saucony shoes have over compensated since the outside of my shoe has worn more quickly than others. These New Balance shoes say they are stability shoes so I’m excited to give them a try.

I’ve owned new balance sneakers before and love this brand. I got new ones because the ones I got last year size 7 were too small. But this one ran big. I purchase a 6,5 a 7 and an 8. I kept the 6,5! So I would say order a whole size down because I’m usually a 7,5.

These shoes are quite comfortable. I was able to put in my orthotics, and wear them all day. I don’t know if they would be good for a runner, but they work for my various foot problems.

I was really hoping to like these for running but alas they did not provide the support I needed. The bottom is pretty flat and I didn't feel like it provided the arch support that I needed. It is also not as padded as the Nike Zoom which I will end up keeping and returning this one for.

The arch support was lacking for me. I ended up buying a $50 orthotic to be able to use as running shoes. I do like the wide toe box, which is the only positive I have.

Ordered size 8 in the the pale peach/pink color. The shoe offers firm foot support . I ordered the same model in blue, in 8.5 and giving those a try. I wear heavier socks from no see socks to winter socks that go up mid shin and will likely go with the 8.5 size since socks make a difference I'll probably reorder the pink peach in 8.5 and keep both pairs. It takes months for me to find a running shoe that supports my completely flat feet and emerging bunions. Have had better color choices but I can't be picky with my feet.
I'd also recommend:
Nike but better luck with NB, Asics used to be tops but narrowed their toe base design

I wear a size 9 shoe and a 10 in athletic shoes. These are comfortable and offer good support. My heels don't slip and there is ample room in the toe box.

I am very pleased with the fit and arch support. They fit true to size and ordered my usual 7 1/2W...the sock-like tongue is very comfortable and plenty of room in the toe box. Love the style and color! I would purchase again.
