20 Best New Balance For Women (2023 Updated)

If you’ve ordered New Balance shoes before, these will be true to size. If this is your first pair of New Balance, they run a half size small. I wear a 6. 5 normally, but in New Balance shoes I always wear a size 7.

I’ve purchased three different styles/pairs of New Balance Shoes this year, and with all of them I got a size 7, and they were perfect. That being said, these shoes are only cute casual shoes. To me they have a relaxed fit that wouldn’t work for anything physical.

Definitely not a running, walking, or “on your feet all day” shoe. They are just cute, not functional. They are comfortable but offer no real support, arch or cushion. I still totally love them because I had zero expectations and just wanted a pair of casual athetlic shoes.

Shoes for the person that wants you to think that they might exercise, but they don’t. They are made cheap and will not last, so make sure you get a good deal. If you pull too hard on the loop to put them on, they will make an unpleasant sound, alerting you that they will rip.

The laces will not make the shoes tighter, but they will make the tongue bunch up. And last but not least, the heel is not comfortable against your skin without ankle socks. I would not recommend no show socks with these.

Not happy. New Balance should know this material is not right for footwear. I have been wearing these for 2-3 weeks, comfortable, yes, but two problems: 1. working out they easily slip off the heels doing certain exercises like down dog, mountain climbers or plank jacks.

Mostly unhappy with how dirty the get. The light material is not protected. After washing them in the machine the insoles came out, they are sticky and hard to put back. Shoes did not come clean after washing.

I am not a mechanic working in grease! I go to the gym and water plants in yard. DSW won’t take them back after wearing them. The shoes are USELESS to me now. Tortise and Hare lets you return worn shoes up to 60 days if not happy for any reason.

If this company does not protect customers from defective products then I won’t shop there anymore.

I love these sneakers!! I wear a 9 in almost every shoe I buy (and I’m an avid new balance wearer) but in these I found I needed half a size larger to compensate for my wide feet. I just bought my second pair after about a year w the first ones.

They’re very comfortable but also really cute and fashionable!! I will warn you, the first one, maybe two times you wear them they may rub the back of the Achilles! My first pair did on both heels and I almost returned them when I realized that.

But I wore them out of the house to give it a chance and after two days they broke in and it was never an issue again. Now with the new pair I recently bought only the left side rubbed and it was only for the first day I wore them.

If they’re still selling this shoe when I need a new pair again next year I will certainly repurchase a third pair!.

I wear New Balance almost exclusively and generally get the 574. I wear a size 12 wide and love that I can get cute WOMEN’S shoes in this size from New Balance. I was excited to try this new style; sadly, the shoe is currently packed upnto be returned.

I opened up the box and thought I had been accidentally sent the wrong size. It looked no larger than a 9, maybe 10. Nope, it’s labeled as 12W. I tried it on with the thinnest sock I own. It went on but only because the material is so flexible.

My toes were literally curled under my foot. Obviously there is a huge sizing problem with this shoe. Big fail, big disappointment.

I’m really glad I got these. They are super comfy very light and slip on like a pair of socks. the whole shoe is a stretchy material including the leopard print. I got these for my daily walk around running errands shoes.

I think they will hold up well for that purpose. I also like they sleek style. I could see myself pairing this with all kinds of outfits. FYI I’m a size 8 with a narrow foot, I bought a size 8 1/2 based on other reviews.

I think If I went with an 8 it would fit flush to my foot with very little wiggle room. The half size up gives you a little more movement in the shoe but not so much that it could slip off easily. So it depends if you want the shoe to fit like a sock or fit with a little movement inside.

Purchased these shoes back in February and did so mainly for the style. However, I quickly realized that they were extremely comfortable! There is some weight to them but the construction of the shoe provided great support and helped correct my poor posture! I found myself walking upright and without slouching which others were able to notice as well.

I’d like to say about a month ago, I started to develop lower back pain, my posture isn’t as great anymore and the bottom of my feet would feel sore as if I was walking in flat sandals all day. I couldn’t pinpoint why until a few days ago when I purchased a new pair of shoes for running and had these shoes on that day.

The 990v5 no longer had the support, cushion and comfort it once had when I purchased these shoes six months ago which was a shocker, honestly. I believe with running shoes it’s recommended to switch out your shoes after 200-300 miles and even if I were to apply that to these shoes, I don’t think I’ve hit that mark yet.

For a bit of background, I primarily wear these shoes for light walks/running errands and they get rotated between other shoes/sandals. Now when I put these shoes on and start walking around in them, I’ll get so much pain and sensation in my lower back and feet.

I haven’t experienced this with my other shoes and I’ve had some for over 5-10 years. I do find it a bit interesting, I may just need a new pair and or perhaps insoles but for the cost of the shoes and insoles only to be replaced after six months of casual wear, it’s questionable.

Overall, I absolutely enjoyed them during the six months of having them but my back and feet are telling me I need to retire them and that’s what we’re going to do.

I am writing this review to let everyone know how this sneakers fit. I bought a pair of USA 990v5 Core and let me tell you I will never go back to Vionic sneakers or sketchers or any bogo fit out their.

This 990v5 are the best comfortable strong well fitted sneakers you can own. They are a bit price but I am a 215 pound woman 5’7 Tall and let me tell you I have very bad knee problems and a right ankle surgery.

These sneakers support so much my walking that I have been thinking Why in the world didn’t I buy these sneakers before. They are strong and very arch supportive they are stylish and can go with everything.

Since I love love love them so much I am owning the black and navy blue pairs as well so I can wear different colors and balance the sneakers. I hope they can come with a nice white pair as well and perhaps other nice colors too.

Please continue USA to make these wonderful classic stylish sneakers in where your feet has to wear the best. DON”T look at the price because our feet are our travelers and they deserved the Best. Please continue to make these sneakers as they are.

Do not change anything. I am a size 11-Medium but in these sneakers I bought 10. 5 Medium they fit perfect. Thank you USA : God Bless America and its Products :).

Ordered the vegan 11. 5 and they were too big – sent them back no problem. Ordered the black/silver 11’s – too small in length, returned to the store and tried the 11 wide in black, fit great! Went home an ordered 11 wide in black/silver and a pair of More v3 in silver/white – I have the More v3 in black/white size 11 that I use for work so I wanted a pair for home and running.

The More v3 arrived first and they’re too short! I think the sizing is in consistent cuz my black/white More v3’s fit great, especially in the toe box. Then I got the black/silver 990 v5’s. Again, the sizing seems inconsistent.

The all black pair I tried in the store fit like a glove, but these are a bit long in length, but not enough to send back. They actually feel real comfortable Solid construction, quality materials, real nice foot bed.

The tongue tho, it slips toward the front of the shoe with walking. I managed to rig it by using the the 2nd to last shoe lace hole to pull the tongue up so that it stays in place. Thankfully the laces are extra long so that this is possible.

Overall I’m stoked. I expect these shoes to last a long time – definitely an everyday shoe. And New Balance has been great. I’ve ordered and returned several pairs of shoes in the process and had no issues.

My collection includes 880 V10, More v3, and 990 v5. Muy Bien! Gracias!.

I bought my very first ever pair of New Balance shoes. They are very cute and very comfortable. I bought them on 4/20/22 while out of state. They are falling apart, the sole is coming loose from the shoe.

Due to being out of state and traveling by plane I do not have the original box and the receipt got lost while I was on bereavement out of state. The original store will not process a return without the receipt and New Balance is LESS than helpful without that information and state that I can submit what I want but the policy is super strict.

They do not care one bit that the product is falling apart 16 days after purchase. DO NOT BUY NEW BALANCE SHOES IF YOU WANT THEM TO LAST. I will NEVER buy New Balance again. I will stick with my Under Armour shoes that I normally buy.

I have an unusual shoe size (5-1/2 wide) and New Balance is my go-to brand because of the availability in wide sizes. A couple years ago I found these very comfortable and supportive walking shoes in the gray color.

I wore them out! When I tried to reorder, I couldn’t find them in my size, so I switched to the dark blue suede. As others have mentioned, that color shoe has a cutout for the ankle that is way too high.

The dark blue ones are very painful at first, and with wear become painful by the end of the day, plus the tongue is short and thinly padded. Gray shoes work for winter and summer. I switched to a Saucony gray shoe which was squeakingly disastrous in quiet places.

I was thrilled to find New Balance again had the gray in my size (6 pairs left), and the next day I ordered a pair when only 2 pairs were left. New Balance makes great shoes, and I’ve never had a squeaky pair.

I wear custom orthotics that work great with NB since the factory insole is removeable, and the type of sole on this shoe is exactly what my podiatrist recommended. I hope NB continues to stock them!.

When I discovered these tennis shoes a decade ago I was able to stop my perpetual search for a good walking shoe. This is the only tennis shoe I have worn since. This purchase was my fifth or sixth over the last decade or so.

I have flat, 12 AA, weak-ankled feet. I was always overly cautious walking because I would twist my ankles so easily. These shoes have a sole that spans the entire width of the shoe providing a broad walking surface.

That broad walking surface has given me the confidence I need to walk freely again and is the main reason I love this shoe. The inserts can be removed and it has the extra shoelace eyelets that allow you different lacing styles.

(The sales associate at the store showed me that trick!) Absolutely true to size when you have your foot size measured correctly in a shoe store. During Covid, the local shoe store I usually go to could not get these in in my size.

Even now, they have not been able to. I found these at New Balance online and they were delivered quickly.

My podiatrist recommended New Balance walking shoes many years ago because I do a lot of walking. He recommended buying two pairs and switching off and on wearing one pair one day and the other pair the next day.

That way I only need to buy shoes once a year. One pair of shoes worn every day wear out in about six months. In six months, the cost could go up again. I finally found the right style after some unsure purchases.

I used to shop in all the local stores that carried New Balance shoes. It was a tremendous trial and very time consuming. I finally found out how to shop online. I always use this style. The color may change depending on what is available.

I think because of the problem with merchandise being stuck on ships at some ports because of the problem with truck drivers either striking or not enough of them, I had to wear my last pair about 1 ½ years.

I love my New Balance shoes and wouldn’t wear anything else. Style 982 V3 are the best and fit so well. My personal tip: When you buy new shoes don’t wear a new pair all day for the first few days or a week so you can break them in gently and your feet won’t hurt.

I’ve put hundreds of miles on versions 10 and 11 of the 1080, and I can say that version 12 is the better of the three by a considerable margin. Most of it has to do with getting rid of the god-awful “UltraHeel” but there are other subtle improvements that take the 12 to the next level.

First, the Fresh Foam tuning. This is still your long haul, easy miles daily cruiser, but the compound in the 12 is slightly (really, just slightly) firmer, slightly bouncier than previous versions. I’ve found myself enjoying the ride far more than I expected.

The Fresh Foam here is dense, substantial, and it feels durable. Second, there as been a slight improvement on the lockdown across the midfoot, which I was not expecting but it feels welcome. In versions 10 and 11, I remember often feeling like the the top and sides of my foot were irritated by the rigid structure that surrounded the midfoot cage–not quite Ultraboost midfoot cage territory, but still enough to notice.

Now, I feel very well locked down without any sort of obvious bunching, pinching, or other unpleasantness. I think some of this has to do with a better heel lockdown; I’m simply not cranking the laces like I felt I had to before.

But the rest of the upper has improved, too, which is commendable. Finally, the shoe just *looks* better. I love the design of this version, and it makes me want to reach for it more. The weird veiny vibe of 10 and 11 is gone, and I couldn’t be happier about that.

Overall, what a shoe, and what an improvement! I’m so excited to spend the summer cruising in the 1080v12.

I got the Fresh Foam X 1080v12 as a daily trainer but, to me, it’s more of an easy or recovery day kind of shoe. I normally wear 8 and sometimes 8. 5 so I ordered 8 EE and it was way too big when I tried it on.

So I returned it and ordered 7. 5 EE and it’s still on the roomy side. NB’s idea of “wide” seems to differ from other brands’ shoes. Normally, the standard size works fine for me as my width is probably “medium”, not “narrow” or “wide”.

Anyway, I’ve already put in 20 miles on 1080v12 so I’m keeping it but I’ve decided that I will put it away for now and use it in the winter with thicker socks. The 1080v12 has good cushioning but isn’t quite as soft as I expected, which isn’t good or bad, just not what I thought I was getting.

It is firmer than I thought it’d be and has a decent energy return and pop. It’s fairly comfortable but is a lot of shoe and heavier than I’d like for a daily trainer or for tempo running. It doesn’t make me want to go fast.

At the same time, it’s not as soft-cushioned as other shoes that I’d consider for easy/recovery running. It sits somewhere in between and I’m not sure what to make of that. Overall, I enjoyed the several 6~7 mile runs I’ve had with the 1080v12 but it’s a little too roomy with my summer socks and feels a bit clunky for faster running.

I’m in SoCal and the ongoing 100+ degree heatwave has made me adjust my running schedule and the types of run I make and this shoe just does not fit in right now. Although this may seem like a less-than-positive review, I think it’s a very good pair of running shoes.

20 miles isn’t enough to make a final judgment and I think I will enjoy the 1080v12 in cooler weather and grow to like it more as time goes by and I rack up more miles.

Product was made with thin material on the top and can easily see color of what socks I am wearing, not suited for cold or wet weather terrain or foothpath on rainy days. Because thin material made wAlking feels kinda wobbly and hard to run or doing fast pace walking unless tighten shoes real tight.

Does have good choice for wide option and suited for orthothic inserts. Unfortunately the grip under the shoes seems to be too thin and can easily wears out compare to brooks all terrains grip. Based on dollar value, this product is over rated seeing is made in Indonesia not some high end factory.

Shoes lace provided is too ordinary, color is common compare to predecessors models. I have tried Skechers, Nike, Brooks, and now New Balance for this model and found the flaws. I m size 10 woman in 40s and have average weight with US6.

5 feet size. I can’t imagine users have larger size may have issues in supporting their ankle, knee and back after 3 months of continuous use based on the materials and grip this shoes has. Big disappointment for a $270 bucks purchase.

It is very hard to find a nice looking athletic shoe that has a FIRM sole and a rollbar. I have numerous foot problems — achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, peroneal tendonitis, arthritis — and I am still young-ish.

But my podiatrist said to get these shoes because they have a firm sole which will take pressure off my joints and tendons and that is exactly what’s happened. I am already feeling relief and can walk again without crippling pain.

New Balance, PLEASE do not change the firm sole on this shoe! It has just the right amount of cushioning and firmness. I’ve heard rumors that a new version will be coming out with a “more flexible” sole.

PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT! Flexibility is NOT what people buy this shoe for — it’s the opposite of what we need. You’ve got a million other styles with flexibility. Leave this one alone! (Do however, make the tongue longer and wider.

It’s too short and slides under the laces. ).

A shoe that is almost perfect but some major flaws make it unwearable. TONGUE IS TOO SHORT. Drastically short. So much that if you use the top eyelets the tongue slides UNDER the laces, making the top eyelets unusable.

The sole is very supportive, exactly what I needed. So I’m really disappointed that this truncated tongue make the shoes impossible for me to wear. I have lots of foot issues, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis/bursitis/spur, and the rollbar support these provide would have been just right for me.

Another thing to note is they are shaped narrow and short. If you have a long, narrow foot they will work. I have a narrow heel but a wide forefoot. I had to order a Wide width and a full size larger than normal because they were too short and tight.

If these were made on the SL1 last with a longer tongue I could wear them. But they’re made on the SL2 which is more the shape of a slender rectangle than an oval (my foot shape). I’ll have to keep looking for another motion control shoe with a properly sized tongue.

So disappointing.

I have always been a fan of the New Balance 990. It was a shoe that I typically saw older, affluent men wear who would not otherwise wear sneakers. Now I see why the elders choose this model. These 990v5 New Balance are so comfortable! It feels like you are walking on air.

I have worn 576 New Balance for decades. I still like them, as they are very stylish and come in cute color combinations, but if you want the king of New Balance, this is the shoe for you. They are stylish, fashionable yet (dare I say) practical.

They come in grey, black or navy and there are other variations of the grey that are released as limited editions. It is a very versatile shoe, worth the price point, IMO. I will say that you should order in your size.

They may have a little room in the toe, if you have longer, more narrow feet, as I have, but they should not be too wide or long. Enjoy!.

I have worn 990’s through years of running. The stability supports my ankles and the cushioning doesn’t cause knee pain. Until V5, that is. I knew as soon as I took my first step something was different.

I have very flat feet but, in the past, the shoe had enough support to correct the issues from this. With the V5, I felt as if the middle of my foot was flat on the ground and my heel and toe box raised.

It was so uncomfortable. I made two loops around my neighborhood and immediately took them off and put back on my 2 year-old V4’s. Gee whiz, New Balance. Is this some cost cutting measure? So disappointed.

Love this shoe. After wearing the ones I have for 3 years, decided I needed a new pair for every day use. Decided to stick with the sme shoe which has served me well for the past years. My old ones will now become my garden shoes, giving me more stability and confort while gardening.

New Balance is the only running/walking show I can get in my size in a woman’s shoe – that really holds up.

I saw all the great reviews for these sneakers but this is the first time that my personal experience didn’t live up to the majority reviews. As a few others have mentioned, I found these sneakers to be terribly uncomfortable.

One thing I didn’t realize is that the tongue is actually stitched into place. Instead of a tongue that can be pulled up to slide your foot in, these sneakers oddly have a wide, fixed strap of elastic that goes across the top of your foot.

Even if the sneakers fit well, I would still have trouble putting the sneakers on because I’m used to loosening my laces and lifting up a movable tongue to slip my foot inside. The struggle to put these sneakers on was frustrating and that was even before my foot was fully inside.

Once they were on, I took them off to check the size because they were so incredibly tight that my toes were pushed up right against the tip sneaker. I have a wide foot and depending on the sneaker, I’ve sometimes worn a 6.

5 wide or a regular 7. After reading the reviews and several people mentioning that the toe box had lots of room, I opted for the size 7 regular. The toe box is indeed a bit wide but the sneaker itself is short in length and felt like I had put on a size 6.

My foot was crammed up against the front of the shoe. This shoe ran so small that with the mesh material, I could see the outline of my toes and they both felt and looked incredibly cramped. I’m only 5.

1 inch tall and weigh 105 pounds. I don’t have any issues with weight or swelling that adversely affect my how my feet may fit into shoe or sneakers. As I said, i do have a wide foot but the width wasn’t an issue with these sneakers.

They simply ran so much smaller than than the size they purport to be that I dont’ see them ever becoming comfortable even if I were to take the time (and pain) to break them in. I will say that the mauve color is really pretty and it was one of the reasons I liked these sneakers when I first saw them online.

I work out daily with an elliptical and also run/walk either outside or on a treadmill. I tried wearing these for both activities and had to take them off within minutes because they hurt so badly. This is the second pair of New Balance sneakers I’ve made in my lifetime and it will be my last.

Never encountered this before, but the soles of these shoes (I tried two pairs, said they were manufactured in the middle of 2020, both did this, they were the gray “lead” style with the orange/tan “N”) seem to release some very slippery coating onto my hardwood floors.

The soles do no feel slick to the touch, and do not slip on the floor themselves, but everywhere I walked they made the floor slippery. Places where I stood for a minute or two became very slick, to the point that when I took my shoes off I almost slipped and fell as my socks slid out from under me.

Again, the soles do not feel slick to the touch, but if I rub my fingers on them for a few seconds, my fingers become slippery. Not sure what is going on. Improperly mixed or cured urethane (I assume the soles are urethane) can release a slick, oily residue, so maybe that’s it.

They were made during the height of manufacturing issues in the pandemic, and they are now almost two years old, so maybe they are really starting to leach this residue out. The only other thing I can think that it could be is that New Balance recommends cleaning their shoes with a silicone-based cleaner.

If New Balance is cleaning their returned shoes (i. e. , if someone orders them, they don’t fit and they exchange them for another size) with this kind of cleaner it could leave a slick residue if not fully wiped off, which the next person has to deal with.

Not sure if New Balance handles returns like this or not, though. Otherwise, I liked the shoes, though my heel slipped in them more than I would have liked. They do seem to run small. Shame they had this slippery condition, that is a total deal-breaker.

I have bought NB shoes at running stores in the past and have always thought the quality was great. Typically my running shoes are around $200 but this time I wanted something more reasonably priced as I would only be using them for walking my dog (2-4 miles) and walking around town.

After one use, I was extremely disappointed. I gave them a second chance and almost immediately regretted that decision as well. These are comfortable at first but do not have the structure for long walks or especially running.

Would recommend maybe as just a house shoe or for driving to a quick errand. There also is some sort of quality issue because these shoes made my ankles slightly inverted which has never happened before.

I felt it almost immediately both times wearing the shoe which if I continues to wear them would cause a long term problem. Listed as a ‘running shoe’ which I would not recommend.

I have been purchasing the 877v1 for several years. The first pair provided a good fit and wonderful support as did my second pair. I could take them out of the box and immediately wear them all day long.

This third pair is different. The shoe is stiff and does not seem to offer the support and comfortable fit as the previous two. I am only able to wear them for a couple of hours a day before I began having pain in my feet, ankles and back.

So the jury is still out on the 877v1. I have two other styles of New Balance and have no trouble with discomfort from wearing all day so it makes me think that the 877v1 has possibly undergone some changes, especially since it is very hard to find now on line, and that is what possible accounts for the less than great fit I have always felt with New Balance shoes.

Finally, I found a style of New Balance walking shoes and ordered in the correct size, i,e, one-half size up from “dress” shoes. The shoes arrived today, immediately put them on, and haven’t taken them off.

They are attractive and comfortable, and they support my feet. I especially like the thicker soles. I am planning to go for a walk on the university track this evening for a “test drive”. Also, ordered a couple more pairs of same to have in inventory.

DEFINTELY order ONE-HALF SIZE UP. Do so because N/B shoes notoriously run small, and also you want to be able to wear somewhat thicker socks. After an entire year of ankle, knee, leg, and hip pain for wearing the wrong size shoe, I wised up and ordered 1/2 size up.

I feel better already. I heartily recommend the 877 New Balance shoes.

These are beautiful shoes, but run very wide. My advice is that if you have any doubt about our proper width, order the narrower one, but if you receive a pair that doesn’t fit, don’t try to exchange them; wear them with heavy socks if you have to.

I ordered these to replace a pair of NB walking shoes I’d worn for years, which were so perfect, including the fit (9B), that I’d considered them irreplaceable. Last spring, however, the soles were coming apart and I could see that they wouldn’t last another season.

Someone at New Balance told me these were most like my perfect pair, and I ordered them in 9 Standard. They were much too wide! When I held them against my old pair, the soles were at least 1/2″ wider, so I sent them back to order 9 Narrow instead.

Sending them back with the label provided was easy, but getting the money put back on the gift card has turned out to be nearly impossible. Over and over – maybe a dozen times – I was told on the phone that the money had been put back on the card, then tried to order but found the gift card balance was still zero.

Eventually I reached someone through the BBB, and hope for the best, but can’t try reordering yet because 9 Narrow is now out of stock. The saga continues.

I usually wear 8 or 8. 5. I ordered the gray online in 8. 5. They were way too big so I returned to the store for an 8. When they arrived I thought 8 would be fine because the other was so big. I went for a walk and to run errands and could feel the blisters forming.

I thought I had these exact shoes about 15 years ago but it must have been a different version or maybe I had 8 wide. It seems like they fit but they hurt my feet. I can’t find an athletic shoe that’s made well anymore including Nike.

Disappointed.

I bought the gray tennis shoes a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love them. I have a tumor under my foot plus a narrow foot with 3 AAA heel so I definitely need a shoe that is strong with good memory foam and holds my heel inside the shoe.

I tried a pair of the new slip on tennis shoes with no shoe strings. They were comfortable but did not have the security I need. Please continue to make the 515 V3 for those of us who need tightness and security.

My husband has back problems and plantar fasciitis, and these shoes just looked so cool. I read the reviews, and decided to get them for him for Christmas. Granted, it’s only been about a week, but he really likes them.

He said they’re super comfortable. He even has a nasty ingrown toenail right now, and he can wear them just fine. We are children of the 80s, so the shoes definitely brought us back. ;).

I got the dark workwear with black (also w pink and silver accents) and they are my new favorites! They are true to size, however I would recommend sizing up rather than down if you’re in between sizes and on the fence.

They are durable, ultra comfortable and I love how they look a little retro! I have some 574s in white and I love those too. I would say they feel equally as comfortable. If you get yourself a pair, you won’t be disappointed!.

I’m an avid walker, averaging 30 to 40 miles per week, and I love New Balance shoes and own several pairs. No matter what style New Balance, I normally wear an 8 medium, but having read the reviews, I ordered the 996 in an 8.

5 medium. It’s a good thing I did, because this shoe is definitely sized small, and as other reviewers have mentioned, the toe box is quite narrow. The medium is OK, but I suspect I’d have been happier with a wide.

That said, the shoe is very good looking. I got it in red. In some of the ads I’ve seen, it looks like it’s bright red but that’s not so. It’s a sort of dusty, muted red. I put it on and immediately went on a 4+ mile walk.

The shoe was comfortable for that short walk, although I got a small blister on the back of one heel. There’s not much to the sole of these shoes. I’m training for a half-marathon, and although comfortable, this is not the shoe I’d wear for that distance.

I’ll be slipping these shoes on to run errands, and maybe for short (5 miles and under) walks through my neighborhood, but I don’t feel like there’s enough support to do any distance in these. Nevertheless, I have no regrets about buying this style.

I can’t help but wonder, though, if an 8 wide would have fit better. I recommend going into a store and trying these on before buying, rather than buying online, but that said, this is a great looking shoe to wear for running errands.

I love the look of this shoe and was excited to see they come in wide widths. Only problem is that eventhough the tag claims to be a qide width, my foot says otherwise. I got a 7. 5 wide, but it fits like a regular 7.

5. If u are looking for a true wide width, dont buy these. The length is good but the width seems to fit just like a regular width does. Very disapointing. Before this purchase, i have had good luck with new balance wide widths.

They always seemed true to size. Too bad; so cute.

I wear a women’s standard width 9. 5 or 10 in most shoes and comfortably wore a 10 when I got several previous versions of this shoe. I ordered the 9. 5 this time and my feet technically fit in them, but the toe box was really snug and narrower than previous versions.

They weren’t painful, I just knew I wouldn’t want to run in them. I went to a NB store in person to return/exchange them and tried on some size 10s and couldn’t tell the difference and ended up having to get a 10.

5 (I also like that little bit of extra space to put in arch support inserts). They’re also a bit yellower than I expected but super cute!.

No gonna lie, I caved into getting these because of the SUPER awesome design. Reminds me of early 90s and well I needed new hiking shoes. They are wide enough for my short fat feet. Very comfortable on my 6-8 mile hikes.

They have good grip on the slippery rocks (I walk through alot of creeks and rivers). and the foam gives alot of comfort, balance and I look cool too. Heel is secure and they are holding up to my beating so far.

I have to say at first I was skeptical I read all of the reviews and I had never ever invested in an expensive shoe. When I put my foot in the shoe and I stepped down oh my God it felt so comfortable it’s the most comfortable shoe that I have ever purchased in my life I feel so good in them that I don’t want to even take them off.

If you are looking for a very comfortable shoe lightweight that has plenty of space in the front I highly recommend this shoe. I have flat feet and I thought they were big in the front because I just feel like I have space but when I checked and I felt My foot it was just perfect.

I am never buying a $30 tennis shoe in my life again. You truly get what you pay for and I am in love with the comfort feeling of this shoe. it is truly the best investment and best birthday gift that I could give myself I am going this Saturday to the better back store to get Measured for some inserts and I can’t even imagine how my foot is going to feel then if it already feels so good I highly recommend this product and I’m not even trying to overexaggerate nobody is paying me to give this review but I just had to leave this review for everyone to know that my feet are literally walking on clouds.

I did not buy the yellow color shoes the ones I bought were the black wide size 8 but I can imagine they all feel the same.

I’m not really a runner but I walk up some very very steep hills every day, about 45 minutes of fast paced walking. I started having some aches and pains in my knees going down steep hills so started searching highly cushioned sneakers.

To cut a long story short I have some rather expensive Hokas, The Saucony Triumph 19, tried on Brooks Glycerins, didn’t really like the style or fit. Thought I’d try New Balance again as in my younger days NB was my go to sneaker brand.

I kept hearing these 1080v 12s run large or at least a 1/2 size too big. I’ve worn a 10. 5 medium width forever, but just in case, I ordered these in both 10 and 10. 5. and thought I’d return whichever one didn’t fit as well, just walking on carpet so they’d still be like new to return.

To my surprise the 10’s felt VERY tight and the 10. 5s my normal size, felt like a super soft glove, I was blown away with how instantly comfortable they are. I’d have to say these are probably the most comfortable sneakers I have ever had.

Though I don’t run, I still feel plenty of support and I love the crazy bright Orange color I opted for. Like most sneakers these days, I feel they should all be $20-$30 less on an overall, that said, I LOVE these 1080v 12s.

Best sneakers I’ve ever owned.

I’ve been wearing New Balance 880’s since v. 8 in 2019 and they are now my Go To shoe. I generally run between 20 and 40 miles per week, depending on which event I’m training to compete. I consider myself a recreational runner.

The 880 is very comfortable, requiring no break-in period. I can do a long run right out of the box. I’ve also found that this shoe can support high mileage. In the past, I could tell my shoes were ready to be replaced at about 300 miles because my joints would ache.

Since I’ve been running on the 880’s, I’ve never had these pains but always retired my shoes at 300 miles just to be safe. With the 880 v11 that I just retired, I performed a test to see if I could get more miles out of them.

I ran 423 miles and had no problems. The soles were rather flat and slick, but the cushion and support were still solid.
