I have never worn new balance, but many people told me I should. I work in nursing care, long hours on my feet all day. First day I wore these they shredded my heels. I put bandages on and pushed through, figuring they just needed broken in. After 2 days they started squeaking, every step I take the soles squeak, no matter what I'm walking on, carpet, linoleum or pavement...it's never ending. My feet are killing me! I put new insoles in, they aren't as bad on my feet but the squeaking never stops it may make me insane. Lol

These shoes are so cute. I love them. Great arch support, etc. My only complaint is the high back. If you wear them with low socks, you will end up with blisters. Found this out the hard way. Hopefully it will get better as I wear them.

I ordered these and Skechers with arch support and the Skechers barely won! Both felt great but really wanted Electra arch support for walking!

The fit is off with these shoes. I’m a 7.5 regular width in New Balance and I tried these in both 7.5 and 8 but both fit weird. The heel portion feels too bulky while the toe box feels too restricted. They look cute but fit too weird to keep.

Love these NB shoes. I bought these for work. I am a nurse and do a lot of walking. These shoes are comfortable for my whole 12 hr shift. Perfect fit, true to size. Great price!

I ordered my usual 10.5 size. When they arrived (early, yay), I saw that if I had been in a store and held them, that I would have seen right away that I would need to go up a size and width. So I immediately reordered them as stated and sent the first pair back. The second pair were perfect. Looked great in person and fit great.

I love these shoes but read somewhere that you needed to size up for them to fit well. I did size up and no problem. I'm almost 70 and workout daily. They have been so much better on a treadmill than any other shoe's I've tried. Felt less fatigue etc. I've worn New Balance for many years. It's important to remember that these really are a trail or hiking shoe so the feel is a little stiffer. I have four different colors in the model and swear by them.

In sneakers I pretty much always wear a 7.5 and that is what ai purchased. I sandals and most other footwear I wear a size 37/ or size 7.
I purchased the charcoal with neon yellow and purple accents. I really like the color choice. I almost went with the white ones. I've been wearing the brand ON " clouds" for a couple years now and I was worried that the NBs wouldnt feel as comfortable. They have a different feel and the NBs definitely feel supportive and comfortable out of the box. I've been walking in them rebounding, and strength training.

These shoes felt big when I put them on. Since I wear a big, bulky brace for ankle support on the left leg, it fit well on that leg. But as the day wore on, the shoes stretched out & my feet were sliding around in them. I’ve never had this problem with New Balance before.

I’ve worn New Balance 577 for quite a long time. They don’t stretch out & last forever. I wanted to

My big toes bumped up against the end of the shoe - no enough room in these for me.

Super disappointed, these shoes are so cute and fit my foot perfect but the back is a full inch higher than all my other new balance shoes and digs into my heel every step. Weird design and frustrating because the shoe is literally exactly what I'm looking for otherwise.

Perfect shoe for me. A splash of color and lots of cushion in the soles.

Perfect for my workouts and the days I feel virtuous by not wearing my other shoes that aren't as good for my back. The orange soles are a bit of fun every time you put them on.

These are my go to shoe. I suffer with achilles tendonitis and these give me the support and comfort. Without them, my inner ankle swells and becomes painful. I have tried other brands, styles, etc., but always come back to these. I buy these for hiking, walking and work. Great shoe!!! I have 5 pair.

They felt fine just smaller than what I expected so they weren't a good fit.

I love them! The rocking in the back of your foot really helps my back injuries when I walk all day. I just love them.

I have noticed with New Balance shoes, I normally wear a half size larger than in other shoes and having a "wide" size is mandatory. I have problems with hallux rigidis and trail walking or running shoes in the New Balance brand feels best on my feet. These are amazingly comfortable!

I purchased these because they were on sale. I was looking for a darker color for the winter. The black/electric indigo is beautiful! I normally wear a size 8 ½ W and I purchased a 10 W and they fit perfectly.

The drip of the bottom sole is so good it will cause you to trip if you walk on carpet and not lift your feet properly..

Found these to be very comfortable. Has a minimum differential (I prefer), rounded toe and fit true to size & width. Also ordered a pair in the white but think I'll return for the black, to much purple on the sole. Normally a Hoka wearer but these are good alternate.
