"Thought if I bought a pricier NB walking shoe that it would be so much better, and a lot more comfortable. Have tried the lower priced NB shoes and have been satisfied. But this shoe was the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever gotten. I thought that after wearing them for a few days, that I would break them in. But the longer I wore them, the more they hurt my feet. I only used them for walking, not running, so that would not have been the problem. Unfortunetly I wore them too much to be able to take them back for a refund. Lesson learned. No more NB for me."
Pros none
Cons cheap material, poor support, very uncomfortable

"The shoe looks nicer from the side but makes the foot look wide whne on.I think that the mesh is the problem. They are not styled as well as some other NB's I have had. The preice is a little high, but if they wear well it will be worth it.Needed a half size larger than usual."
Cons top of the shoe style, price

"This is my second pair of New Balance shoe's. I love them because I can get them in W. I still have my first one's over 10 years old, and they still look good and feel good. Just needed a smaller size.
JC is great to order from, they are fast and easy to return if you need to.

"When I was younger I was always wearing a narrow shoe. I haven't been able to find a narrow sneaker in years and years so when I saw these I decided to see how they fit. THEY ARE WONDERFUL! It is so nice to not have slop around the foot and heal. I was just used to the B width because I didn't know they made narrow anymore. These are awesome. They hold me upright better and I am sure they are going to make my energy level and back pain much better."
Pros narrow width
Cons mesh. I don't really care for mesh as it gets so dirty.

"I researched New Balance shoes for specifications to meet my foot needs. These had all I was looking for. Upon receiving them, I was disappointed to find they were actually too short. I ordered the same size I typically order in New Balance shoes. The shoes were comfortable and provided great support.
I did return the shoes to my local Penney's store. Absolutely no questions or hassle. I attempted to order them again, however, the half size larger was not available."
Pros Great support
Cons Too short

Every pair that I have bought over the last ten years are a little shorter than other brands. If you order the next half size in a narrow, then the shoes are too long! I love New Balance shoes and this style is the only one that is made shorter.

"I purchased these shoes because they were suggested for people with plantar fasciitis. These shoes are horrible. They completely change the alignment of your body because the back of the shoe is lower than the front. I felt like I had to thrust my body forward to get the momentum to even walk.
After wearing these shoes for about two weeks, my calves, shins, ankles, and top of feet hurt so bad, I had to quit wearing them. I will be returning these shoes.

"i had not had my foot operation yet and was intesipating it to happen soon, but since it want happen at all i know am having to look for othr options, like may be a nother cast or something. so i returned them and picked one that could bealtered on the other foot to make the walking gait more balanced and hopefully keep my gait in alignment. but i would recommend this shoe because the orthopedic surgeon i saw uses this paticular shoe for patients whom have just come out of a cast because of all the support expecially around the ankle and whole foot"
