Comfy, yet durable and stylish
Nice fit. Wide size adds extra room at the toe and still a snug fit all the way to the heel.

Not durable!
The upper material and rubber trim started wearing shorts after I purchased them. They looked old within a month of minimal use.
Disappointed*

Laces not needed
Very nice shoe to throw on real quick. I use these as gym shoes or for everyday tasks.

Perfect stretch in heel
Best shoes I’ve had in years! I can finally throw out an old pair that has a similar stretch in the back that I’ve saved only because they are the fastest to get in and out of. These have the same in and out in 1 second factor!

X Cruz Artisan v3
I have been extremely happy with New Balance shoes with Fresh Foam. I have developed arthritis in my left ankle from years of running and other activities. I pronate and now wear an orthotic to neutralize my stance. The Fresh Foam adds a significant cushion to my steps and keeps my left ankle tenderness at a minimum. I have been using the 1080 that has an extreme amount of cushion but has a clunky look when not exercising. The Cruz is more stylish and sporty. The cushion is just a bit less than the 1080 but still makes my walks comfortable.

Comfortable and Stylish
Probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. They’re very lightweight and breathable, plus the soles are super soft and great for walking. I’m on my feet most of the day for work and these keep me comfy all day long. Also have to mention how crisp and clean the look is. Not your usual looking “dad shoes.” Would definitely buy again.

Thin Soles
I honestly am a bit disappointed in these shoes. The shoes themselves came as they should be the soles are very thin.

Fantastic
Purchased this as I already own a Foam ROAV running shoes and wanted another. The fit is excellent, true to size and very comfortable.
I'm not a runner, yet, but these are just as good for a fast paced walk. They are light weight and well cushioned.
I usually have back pain when I wear any sneaker (tried many bands) for too long and NBs are the exception I recently spent about 7hrs standing and didn'thave any issues while wearing these.
I would definitely recommend

Same size or different sizes
Two pairs of shoes supposedly size 11 wide 1 fit. The other one was too small.
