I bought these shoes for manus reasons: I was looking for a shoe that was on sale, since I just needed the left shoe. I broke my foot and have to wear a boot for 8 weeks. I needed a shoe with a higher sole and I didn't want to wear out only one my new running shoes. I found these on sale for a great price and saw that they came in a wide width. They also had great reviews. I have been wearing one (on my good foot) everyday since I received them. Very pleased. I normally wear a 9 in a running shoe and they are a little longer than normal but I actually don't mind.These shoes run short heel to toe, I usually wear 9.5 D and needed the 10 D, now it fits just right in the length. I have bunions so the soft material there is perfect, no rubbing. Two small complaints: I would not say "CUSH" is the right word for the sole, even with my own inserts. The soft tee shirt material on the sides is cushy. Also did not realize that the ankles are cut lower than I'm accustomed to, so more of my sock shows, and these shoes don't have the two extra eye holes used to cinch the heel tight. I use those and miss them. Otherwise shoes are comfortable, use them for knocking around.I have flat feet and have had problems in the past with other training or running shoes that are too narrow and hurt my arches. New Balance is great because they offer good support without digging into my arches and causing pain. The sizes on these run as expected. The quality is great for this brand and I can expect to have these shoes for a good while before having to replace them. I love the black ones with just a small amount of color from the bright orange. They also come with an extra pair of laces in the orange, so you can choose whether you want the black laces or the colored ones. A great buy and I recommend this brand to anyone that wants a wider training/gym shoe.I bought these because I have health issues that often cause me to have overall body pain especially in leg and soles of my feet. Right out the box these are marvelous!!!!!! My feet felt as though I am walking on cushions. Even on a day that i would rather not wear shoes....these were perfect!! Yeah they do NOT make me look like the "cool" mom, but I could care less. The entire shoe is a fabric blend, easy to wipe clean and to move your toes around in with comfort. It didn't hurt that they are my fav color and made by New Balance! Will be getting another pair soon.I bought these shoes so I could workout at home. My feet are narrow and long so it can be hard to find shoes that fit well. These worked out perfectly for me. They don't have great arch support, but they have removable insoles so you can always put in something for added support. I wear them to walk/run on the treadmill and to do resistance exercise inside my house. I don't wear them outside, so I can't say how comfortable they are for wearing all day or outside in different environments. But I can say they are perfect for my purposes!Great looking shoes. They are more casual walking than a workout shoe. They have a bit of a boxy look once on. The arch support is pretty minimal and although they're sold as cushiony, they don't feel like there's a lot of padding inside, although there's not a lot of roominess all around. The fabric on top is thin and airy so they should dry fast.Very comfortable shoes! I bought them primarily for Zumba class, but like them so much I've been wearing them to run errands, etc. I will say that the (removable) insole rubbed the inside of my arch. I use Dr. Scholl's gel sport inserts in my athletic shoes anyway, and once I put those in, this shoe is the most comfortable pair I've had yet. The soles absorb shock well. I also like that 2 pair of laces are provided...a grey pair is also provided.At first I was very concerned about these shoes. My heel was slipping out the back as another reviewer mentioned, and they felt a tad short. Because I love the color and style, I didn't want to give them up. As there was no 1/2 size up available, I decided to give them a go. I wore them to work all day (I'm a teacher, and on my feet all day), and due to the soft material, they felt better after just a couple of hours!So comfy, nice bright plum colour. Good price. They are really lightweight and feel nice to exercise in.Perfect! These trainers are very comfortable perfect fit I will buy againI bought this shoes as a present for my mother. When my mother was wearing a little big. But she really likes the shoes. She likes the light, the style and the color.Llevo ya un tiempo, y son muy cómodos, y tienen un color precioso.Solo tiene un pero, los cordones tienen como algo de licra, y resbalan un poco, por lo que se desatan más fácil que otro tipo de cordones.sehr schöner leichter Schuh: ich schwanke immer zwischen 37 und 38 und habe darum hier 37,5 genommen. 38 wäre aber besser gewesen. Hoffe er dehnt sich noch ein wenig.
