PERFECT!!! These fuel cell New Balance sneakers are light-weight, great for wearing all day and walking 4-6 hours a day! Feels like walking on soft boucey foam on each step... no feeling of pressure on the feet, good arch support, easy on the ankles. it's like heaven after having worn so may heavy leathery 'new balance' numbered sneakers prescribed by my orthopedic surgeon. Will buy another pair/different color.

I love these shoes. Firm, yet soft too. Not like the fresh foam which is too soft for me. But these are light, springy, and firm enough to make me walk comfortably. Finally found a shoe which makes me happy and pain free.

This is definitely a running shoe. I don't like the way the heel is raised so high. It feels like my toes and heels aren't standing on anything. I just want a shoe for everyday walking and standing. These feel just too weird for everyday. I'm returning them. I wish I could get cool colors in walking shoes.

No way was this an 11 wide. This one was very narrow, maybe it was a mistake in the shoe itself, because the size 12 normal was so much larger and wider. I am keeping the size 12, but returning the size 11 w.

These shoes at first felt comfortable, built the right shoe hurt my foot and ankle, after feeling the stress for a while, I finally gave them one more try, and it injured my foot. I had to return them. I don't think I like the split down the sole and heel on the bottom of the shoe. Shoes need to be more broad on the foot instead of the narrow side. I need a more solid sole for proper stability. These are worth a try for anybody.

This shoe has a very strange fit. Causes you to lean back on your heels. Liked the style and cushion, but seemed like it would be very bad on the knees and posture

These give me great support and it’s like walking on clouds! I’ve had three surgeries on the same foot and have almost daily pain but in these I can walk the urban trails, hit the mall or go to the farmers markets and enjoy myself in comfort. They’re also soft and breathable and I like the black and pink color scheme. Glad I found these!

The first comfortable athletic walking shoe ever for my feet. I was so impressed with the purchase, I bought two more pairs, same brand and style. Love, Love them.

This shoe fits well. It is a bit long and narrow for a medium width, but not by much. I am very pleased with the arch support and the comfortable sole throughout the entire foot. I will probably buy these again!

FINALLY! This is the perfect sneaker!
I’ve been trying many difference sneakers and sent them all back. This one is a keeper! It’s super lightweight, fits great and has a bounce to it as you walk! I really love it, definitely recommend it!

I have slightly narrow feet so these feel a tad wide, but they are very comfortable for walking or standing all day!

Fits true to size & wide width is truly wide. I usually wear another shoe brand which is very padded and this is just as good. They are lightweight, which I also like.

I loved this style and color. Unfortunately, the width was not as wide as I needed. I have ordered numerous pairs of NB in wide and never had this happen. Pretty disappointed.

This shoe fit well and was overall a good fit. Wish it had some additional arch support but I will add some support.
It does also give you a decent amount of extra height on these shoes which I wasn't expecting.

I had a lot of heel slippage with this shoe creating blisters. If you normally don't have this issue you will love these shoes.

The left shoe was evidently defective. The pronations were not equal, and the left shoe was excessive. Very uncomfortable walking.

I took this show to Paris & London! It was by far the best solution to all the walking over 12,000 steps per day for 9 days! I am not back 1 year later looking for the same shoe. I hope to find this shoe again and will order at least 2 pairs! The best shoe ever for me!

Wonderful walking shoes. Easy to just slip in and start walking. Feet feel great the whole walk. I can go miles and miles with these New Balance shoes without any issues. I also love the cute colors that they come in.

Size and fit are perfect since I already have a pair. I ordered a second pair because they are so comfortable. Unfortunately, this pair arrived visibly used. The soles were dirty, also on one side and on the shoe strings. The arrival was from Amazon. I still want to order a second new pair of this exact shoe in size 10 Wide, white.
