Not impressed - Athletic

Not my favorite shoe. I think that I will stay with Fila in the future. I usually wear 7.5B in filas. I read they are small so I ordered 7.5 C/D thinking they might be small. They were still tight. It took 2 weeks to break them in. I work 12 hour shifts so it's been the worst 2 weeks of my life. I don't like memory foam either. The foam feels cheap and not nearly as comfortable as my Fila memory foam.

  • Athletic

I am so disappointed in this shoe

I am so disappointed in this shoe. I've been wearing NB shoes for YEARS and they have become my go-to shoes for the comfort and style guaranteed.

Warning, this is a very thin piece of foam that will break completely on a hard stone insert when you stand up. The shoes also lack arch support. These shoes are also not breathable. I can't imagine using it as the hiking shoe it's associated with…

Lightweight - Walking

My initial review of these shoes was positive, but I will update my review after 3 months. These are lightweight shoes made with a soft fabric that's comfortable to wear around the house, at work, and for short walks around the block. I would not wear them standing up for more than 2 hours as there is no lateral support. I have wide feet and bought the wide "D" version in size 8.5. While the fit seemed fine at first, the padded sides have not held up over time and my legs are splayed on the…

No tongue slit, tongue slips sideways all day!

I love New Balance shoes because they come in wide and extra wide. This particular shoe is a decent walking shoe. However, I walk 4-7 miles at work every day and there is no lace hole in the tongue. As a result, tongues slide sideways all day and it's pretty annoying. Also, the memory foam is very thin, so don't expect your feet to be cushioned like you're walking on pillows. Unfortunately, I ordered shoes that weren't wide enough so I couldn't wear my custom orthotics. I would rate the shoe…
