Great looking shoe!
As a huge fan of the CM996 and MS997 (997 Sport), this is a great shoe. Unfortunately, both of those models have been discontinued. The CM996 lives on overseas, while the 997 Sport has been discontinued since around 2021. I'm glad I made the decision to buy this model as an alternative. It is very comfortable with supportive cushioning, and like the other two models it is very stylish. It also seems like it will be very durable. I hope New Balance keeps this model around, and brings back the CM996 and MS997!

New shoes. Disappointed.
They rub on the back of my ankle causing blisters through a sock

Wanted to love them
Runs small. Very uncomfortable, tight toe box. Return!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the shoes ran small and felt tight in the toe box, leading you to return them. Our Customer Care team can help suggest styles with a roomier fit to ensure better comfort next time.

Very Narrow
I liked the design, but the shoes are very narrow and stiff so they are not comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Great sneaker
Love the color, that classic gray does for me all the time. The comfort is real in these.
