To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
One of the worst new balance shoes I have worn. Cushioning is almost zero. The only good thing is that they are super light. They feel pretty tight around the ankles. I had used a fresh foam product earlier and the cushioning was superb - this one was a big let down. It looks good though
My daughter has larger than average feet (size 12). She comes by it honestly as I wear a size 16 in men's. It is difficult to find shoes that fit. These did!!! They fit really well too! She loves how they feel and work for her needs. I am already a New Balance fan; now she is too. New Balance will be the first place we look every time we need athletic shoes for her. Too many other shoe manufacturers build the shoe with proportions that do not work for larger feet. These shoes, though, are made for real people.
Looks to be a fine shoe, but the opening makes them impossible to put on. I struggled for few minutes and I had to send them back. I don't want to fight with my shoes for 5-10 minutes before I am able to get out the door.
Also, once I was able to put them on, the upper feels very tight, think compression sleeve.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Cute, but impossible to put on.

I have bought this same shoe 5 times now. They take a long time to burn out through normal wear and tear. I get about 9 months out of a pair inside, 6 months outside (I have a pair for each) running 8 mile stretches 5 times/week. Great weightless running shoe. Fits true to size. Reliable so I'll keep buying as long as they keep making them!
The shoes fit perfectly. I like running sockless and with minimal cushion so this pair is a good match for me. Looking forward to see how well they do on longer runs.
