Awesome NB Shoe

I was surprised by this NB shoe. It is totally adorable and great for walking. Beyond comfortable and makes the foot look smaller. I like the styling and it is great for a casual or business office look.

RUNS VERY LARGE

This sneaker runs very large. I’m normally a 5.5-6 for sneakers and I got a size 5 and it’s still too large

You can never go wrong with New Balance

I bought these for my adult son as a gift. He picked them out and loves everything about them. The comfort, the style and I got a great price on them.

Love!

Cute and comfortable! Wore these for 10 miles in Vegas with no issues. Not a lot of arch support though, so keep in mind for those that need it.

Not enough support

I have not purchased New Balance sneakers for myself but I have for my daughter and the first thing I notice was how cheap the material looked and FELT. After walking around in them I feel they don’t have enough support. I will return them or give them away.

Narrower than you expect

I do not have wide feet and these shoes are tight on the sides. I recommend getting wide even if you don't have wide feet. Nice shoes otherwise.

Seems to run a little too short and a bit too narr

I can wear it for awhile, but after several hours it feels too narrow and too short, yet this is my correct size.
