Did 40+ miles walking in Italy in less than a week with them as they were brand new. Took no time to break in, feet were comfortable the entire time. Style, comfort, functionality exceeds my experience with similar styles of Nike and Vans.

I wanted to replace an old pair of white vans that I had and looked at numerous styles. I eventually settled for these beautiful white NB shoes and after trying them on, it honestly makes me wonder why I did not convert earlier. Not only are they so comfortable to walk in, they have that somewhat low rise skate shoes look that I was looking for. The navy blue accents are great, and the shoe itself is a slightly off white color. The out sole is nice and sticky so I suppose if you wanted to you could use it for skating. The price is affordable, and the value you get in return is great. Highly recommend these shoes.

Just not enough arch support for me and my orthotics make getting the shoe on and off more difficult. The shoe has a sock-like liner which comes all the way up to the top of the tongue, so it's snug getting on and off.

I only hope they come out with more color combinations for this shoe. Fits any style for any night out or chilling in sweats during the day. Great all around shoe for most occasions.

These are greatx. With its cushioned insole and padded collar, it provides exceptional support and impact absorption. I'm not a skater but for walking around, my feet feel great all day long. Would buy again.

These shoes are super comfortable and break in nicely. They breath well, and have a lot of comfort and room for a narrow foot or a normal wider foot. You’ll thank me later. Especially this colorway. Super clean and the black could almost go for being Navy paired with the red/cream and khaki. What can you not wear these with?! They some vibes & I wouldn’t lie to ya!

Honestly, these my favorite shoes I’ve ever had! I never liked cup soles but on this particular model it’s low profile enough that it doesn’t affect the board feel. That, coupled with the pointy and somewhat narrow toe box makes for a great skate shoe as far as my personal preference goes. I love the integrated tongue that’s built into the shoe, it keeps it straight and makes the shoe fit like a sock, and it just looks cool. As far as the feel goes they’re comfy as can be right out of the box, and the insole is cushy. I really wanted the grey/navy/lakers gold color way, but they were out of stock in my size. So after some serious contemplating I decided to get the white/baby blue. I was kinda bummed about this initially, however after wearing them I’m stoked I got stuck with the white ones. And it has opened my eyes as to why I’ve never worn white shoes before. Never had new balance before but they’ve become my new go to.

My favorite Numeric shoe. The cup sole design is so comfortable, looks great, and skates well right out of the box. Lasts longer than most too. On my 2nd pair and will buy again.

I use these for dress up and they look great and fit well. They arrived in time to wear to the concert. I was pleased with the online purchase experience which was possible only because of dependable sizing of the New Balance shoes. Kenton

I bought these for general day-to-day use and more. So far they've been really comfortable all day and have plenty of cushion. Definitely getting another pair soon. I'd recommend going true to size.

I purchased these shoes for my grandsons eighteenth birthday. He was so surprised and pleased that it made me happy I ordered these, and just in time for his Homecoming dance. Well made shoes with a cool design. Happy Nana!
