How: Fits perfectly out of the box. No break-in period. Durable and comfortable. I've ordered these before. I try other NB sneakers.

I read the reviews and bought 1/2 size larger than my husband usually wears and they fit great! They were put to the test last weekend while living in Washington State, it was a real downpour! He was covered in mud and water and surprisingly soaked to his feet! They were dry, I was amazed at how waterproof these shoes are! They are very comfortable as my husband's job requires him to be on his feet and walking 6 days a week for more than 10 hours a day.

I ordered these for my son - I ordered a half size up based on reviews and they are too big. I think for extra wide you can order normal size

The shoes appear to be well made. I wear 12M and ordered these. The shoes were very narrow and my toe was right on the front of the boot. I suggest ordering at least half a size larger and maybe a little wider than you usually wear. The shoes are also a bit "heavy" but they are supposedly waterproof and I think they would make a good walking/hiking shoe for flat trails.

I followed the recommendations of others and ordered half a size larger than usual and it fits perfectly. I wore these shoes to run on the treadmill and I felt great. There is a lot of cushioning on the bottom of the shoe to keep my feet from hurting when walking.

Having worn New Balance shoes for over 40 years, this is the first time I have had to return a pair because they didn't fit well. NB has had a wider range of widths in years past, but they recently changed that and now only have three widths. This pair of 9Ws was too narrow and too short for me. I used to always wear 9E, but more now.

I bought my first pair around 1980, 996 I think and wore them until they were more duct tape than shoes. This is an American icon that still carries me for miles.

Comfortable, durable, sturdy shoes. I am 12.5 years old and use the Berkenstock insole and there is still room in my toes but the shoe doesn't look too big. I'm looking for a way to use them in my job as a truck driver.

Bought these to run on a treadmill, they seem well made, comfortable and light weight. I've ridden it 20km so far. Thanks for attention.

Small, maybe the most uncomfortable New Balance shoes I've ever bought. NB has always been a good choice for me. At work, I'm on my feet all day. This is the first (and hopefully only) time I've been disappointed.

I walk about 3 miles in 45 minutes to an hour every morning, and I walk about ½ a day and talk on my work phone. I am over 60 years old. These are the best shoes I have. Super comfortable, great fit. I bought three pairs to change within a week. Highly recommended.

Bought for my husband after a long search. He loves them and said they immediately feel comfortable. Fits as expected. Thanks for attention.

Small size always wear 10 it's narrow and short need 10.5 and wide would like to return but I've already used them hoping they loosen up. CAN I EXCHANGE? For 10.5 wide always buy New Balance sneakers for golf etc. These are funny short and narrow. Please advise

Warning, I'm starting to think that most of the products on Amazon are fake! The same price or higher than buying locally, but there is no quality

I love these shoes! I am a hiker and walk 4 to 5 miles a day every day. Since buying the New Balance Walkers I've run a few hundred miles, 90% of them on tarmac, and haven't had to take a break. They were very comfortable right out of the box. Only the cushioning took some getting used to. Even when walking on asphalt, it gives the impression of a thick carpet. I was looking for a pair of NB off-road hiking shoes but couldn't find one that was the right size and price. They make my feet happy…

These are great looking shoes. In NB I always wear 8 2E or sometimes 4E. The binding box on them is not wide enough even on the 4E. I wore them out of the house so I can't return them, but I won't buy them again.

Based on other people's reviews, I ordered a size larger. I usually have 15W so I went with 16EW. Even then, one pinky felt a little cramped. But after a little wear, the shoes relaxed a bit and became very comfortable. I've never had Fresh Foam and was afraid they would be too soft and wear out too quickly, but they feel like any other shoe. I love the extra grip on the shoes and use them as both hiking and golf shoes. They seem pretty solid, but time will tell. Therefore, I recommend, but…

I've had Rockport 10.5 W shoes for years including 4-5 recent pairs. I decided to try New Balance on my next pair because they are made in America and I love the style. I couldn't even get into the New Balance 10.5 2E it's so bad the production is so far from normal size! I was considering ordering a size up but not sure if they will fit! Such a shame. Does NB work with its own size chart? I am extremely disappointed. Made in America, unfortunately, according to non-standard parameters. Stay…

I have worn many NB shoes but these are by far the worst. My heels never caught in shoes so they rubbed from day one. The sole must be too thin because my feet hurt every time I wear them for a walk twice a day. Glad they seem to fit well. I read the reviews and bought a half size larger than usual but would like to stay with my normal size. The shoes are heavier than any hiking shoes I have ever owned. I don't see anything wrong with that, just hoping I can live with the friction and pain as I

Love New Balance and always buy 11 wide shoes for walking, hiking and running before ordering with no fit issues. Shoes, although marked as wide, are definitely not and can in fact be narrow to the point where I can't even put them on without much difficulty! Like all New Balance shoes I own these shoes look good but unlike all the others they are much smaller than any other New Balance shoes I wear. Maybe New Balance made the 'narrow' 'new wide' to save a nickel or two, but still, this shoe…
