My New Balance "Cinderella slipper" ....
These New Balance running shoes are truly my "Cinderella glass slipper(s)," and are beyond comfortable-- just like walking on a cloud. The hues are lovely: a subtle darkened lavender shade complemented by a slightly purple-tinged gray. Once your feet are shod in these running shoes and you tie the laces, you may slip them off and slip into them, with the aid of a shoe horn, the next time you wear them... no need to tie and untie them each time. They boast a bootie construction--each shoe's tongue is not separate and is part of the fabric. There are no seams inside the toebox to irritate toes or feet. There is a noticeable arch support in the soles. I ordered my usual NB size, and they did fit just like Cinderella's glass slipper. As a pluviophile, who enjoys long walks in the rain, there might be one caveat: the upper mesh fabric seems as though it would permit raindrops to soak through the shoes...so I would try to wear these fantastic running shoes only when the meteorologist does not forecast rain. This footwear may be worn with either thin or thick socks. They are so very comfortable and they are the epitome of a fashion statement for your feet. Highly recommended for unbelievable comfort, beautiful understated hues of color, and lovely style....

Good Fit light weight shoe
I bought these to replace another pair of NB. Although these are light weight they are a little bit heavier than my others. Still consider them light weight. Fit as expected. Great construction. Didn't like the white metal at the ends of the laces so replaced. Comfortable and light will be great for walking on vacation as we tend to do miles and miles. Seem to be cool enough too/Breathable fabric. Overall a nice shoe for the price.

So Pleased!
These are fantastic! I needed a new pair of gym shoes after pregnancy (thanks baby #2!) and shopped around for quite awhile before I found these. They are hands down the BEST pair of athletic shoes I’ve ever owned! I’ve never been big on wearing tennis shoes other than working out, but I’ve been wearing these several times a week around the house, running errands, etc. They are ridiculously comfortable, very lightweight and stylish. Plus the price is great! I will definitely be buying again when my current pair wears out.

True to size--Runs 1/2 size larger than usual New Balance Running Shoes
I Love this shoe--very comfortable. The arch support is more supportive than most New Balance Running Shoes [I always exchange the insoles for ones with better arch support].I normally wear a 6.5 M women's shoe. But in New Balance I size up 1/2 size, and order a wide width. The only issue I had with this particular shoe is that it runs 1/2 size larger than my usual NB shoes, and wider. So in reality, it runs true to size and I should have ordered my normal 6.5 M [not sure about width though, I would have to try them on--even though the shoe appears wider, if I opted for the smaller shoe size, I might still find I need a wide. I had also ordered the New Balance Women's Cruz V2 Fresh Foam Running Shoe and found it true to the NB sizing and opted to keep this shoe--which I like, but not sure I like it as well.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075R84PFV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

SO LIGHT AND COMFY!!
These shoes just came in today and I immediately fell in love. They are super light; totally feels as if you are walking on air. I do have wide feet so i ordered them in wide and they look just as good without making your feet look huge. I got enough room to wiggle all of my toes and it's still roomy even with thick socks on. You won't be disappointed. 😉

Run large
These are lightweight and cute but too big for my feet. Typically I do wear 8.5, but I guess these run large. If you have wide feet, it’s probably comfortable. But mine is narrow and when I tie this, you can see “wrinkles” on shoes. Will be returning

Comfortable, cushioned shoes.
These shoes are light weight, stretchable, and the insert has an arch support and is very cushioned. I chose the Grey color as it is a light color and goes with all different colored clothes. Although advertised as a runningShoe, it does not have the necessary side supports needed to keep the foot from moving from side to side. They are very good for walking and the cushioned insole is so comfortable. I love these shoes and I am glad I bought them
