Review on Enhance Your Style with New Balance Lifestyle Numeric Sneaker Men's Shoes by Matthew Maggot

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The width is really quite narrow and I think the length is shorter than it should be

I ordered these for my 12 year old son who has worn 6 different brands and styles. He tried on my new women's 7-1/2 scale and the NB rep told me that the women's 7-1/2 scale is usually the same as the men's 6. I also printed out a printout of the new scale page. and it also turned out that the 6 should fit him, but that 6 was clearly too short. They were also a good half inch shorter than my women's 7-1/2. We also have a 2E width. While the boot is probably wider than a D, it was still terribly narrow despite not being long enough. it's not as roomy as, say, my 7-1/2 D (women's) New Balance sneakers, and these shoes claim 2E! They don't look wide either. However, we will try 6.5 2E and see if we can get it to work. if i can find her I wanted to try 6-1/2 in this style but it wasn't available at the time. I'll look elsewhere and if we try I'll let you know if the switch to 6-1/2 solved the width problem. Cosmetically I have to say that they were really nice shoes and they looked like a very solid construction. We were very disappointed that they didn't fit.

Pros
  • Padded insole for extra comfort and support
Cons
  • Durability may be questionable after prolonged use
