These shoes are amazing! Totally recommend them! Super comfortable and lots of padding under foot to help with my back pain. I LOVE these because they are wider at the toes and all over. My toes are not squished. They are cute, too.

2nd Pair - This is my 2nd pair. I love the fit of this particular model. Wish the laces were longer like they used to be...

So Painful! I wore New Balance walking shoes for my first 1/2 marathon in March 2008 and was quite happy. However, my first pair of NB running shoes, the WR768, were horrible! They were wicked cute, but after a mile on the treadmill, I was almost in tears from the pain! Even with my inserts, the shin pain was terrible. I couldn't get these off my feet fast enough.

Comfortable and cute - I'm a power-walking underpronator with fallen arches and very narrow feet--a nightmare to fit in running shoes. These shoes are very flexible in the midsole, yet have great arch support and cushioning. They fit perfectly, and the pink color is pretty to boot. I couldn't be more pleased with them!

AWESOME! I'm an avid runner and always felt like my shoe never properly fit. I decided to venture to Kingston, ON from NY to a shoe store to get properly fitted. It turns out that I was wearing ill-fitting shoes! I tried on a 1/2 dozen shoes and liked this one the best in a 9N instead of 8.5M. They are GREAT for pronation, are light weight and feel broken in the instant you put them on. I hope these never get discontinued and I hope New Balance never tries to alter this make. It's perfect the way it is.

First sneaker that ever fit! I have a 2E foot, but usually wear D sneakers because I have never been able to find 2E. So these are my first sneakers that have fit perfectly! They are so comfortable. New Balance does run 1/2 size small, so I had to order a 1/2 larger than normal, but they are perfect!

Comfort Plus - I really like this shoe. I'm usually very pleased with New Balance so I wasn't disappointed. It is a tad bit shorter than I'm most comfortable with, but I kept them because I was afraid the next size up would be too big. Zappos is such a great company to do business with. I always come to them first for my shoes.

Ready to step out and step it up! I think this is the fourth time that I have ordered the same model and make to replace the ones I walked in previously. I like New Balance because they have a wide toe box, come in widths, and my orthotic fits in them easily. P.S. I love Zappos.

Most comfortable sneaker ever owned! These are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned! I have a very hard to find size (5 wide) and these came in a 5 EE. They are perfect in width and have great cushioning. I would definitely recommend these! I tried a few saucony's but the toe area was narrow/pointy even in wide, but these are awesome. I will only buy New Balance now.

Excellent for running - comfortable, great cushioning, good for pronation, my select after trying at least a dozen shoes; I purchased 1/2 size up.
