I'm a woman who wears a size 11 shoe, and these fit true to size. I wanted a good pair of "running around doing errands" casual sneakers. Otherwise I was always going out in my running shoes, which isn't really a good idea if you want to keep your running shoes in good shape for as long as possible. These sneakers are cute (they material has a smooth, very fine but not quite suede-like feel), well constructed, and have a very comfortable, cloud-like insole and arch support (my feet have fallen arches, so this matters!) that makes them great not only for running errands but also as the designated "good pair of walking shoes" for trips where you're doing a ton of walking. I love these shoes and would buy them again.I love these shoes! They have great arch support and fit perfectly. I had been wearing some NB 574's and my feet were cramping and drawing up from lack of support. I have not had any foot cramps since I've been wearing these and I love them. They do tend to get a little hot and by the end of the day I'm glad to take them off just because my feet are hot but aside from that they are great. I would trade hot feet for cramps any day.I've had these shoes since January and I'm writing this in September of the same year. I don't know how many times I've worn them, but I'll estimate 15 - 20 times, max. When they came in, I loved the style, they fit well, and were very lightweight. I questioned the quality a little due to some glue showing at the seams and the bit near the heel looked like it was cut slightly off (outside of shoe, next to the sole). I haven't worn them this summer, but pulled them out of my closet and found the soles are separating from the rest of the shoe and they're pretty much ready for the trash. I've never bought NB before, so I can't be sure if their shoe quality is terrible in general, or if this is a fluke...or a fake. Certainly, they're designed to last longer than 15 wears. Right?I really loved these, but have recently noticed some of the glue that keeps the bottom sole on is starting to wear down. I don't wear these but maybe a few days a week, so for this much wear on them in just a few months is disappointing. I didn't write a product review when I bought them right away, but felt like now I should since I've noticed this.Super comfy sneaker that looks awesome. The fit is pretty good but they definitely run narrow. If you're between sizes I'd suggest going up and you'll be very comfortable. Love them!I worked in a warehouse part-time and needed some shoes that were both comfortable for walking and standing while holding up for repeated and extended use and these were perfect. Although they scraped the back of my achilles at first. Some moleskin works to help with this till they were broken in.Very nice shoes. I like my shoes not too fitted. This pair is fitted but I loosen the laces and it works.My size is 9,5 but this sneakers fit me somewhat small, but I loved this sneakears!!I have worn New Balance before but this product is nothing like it. The shoes is heavy and has zero flexibility, sure to give you shoe bites and sore toes. In fact, this shoes doesn't even give your entire foot a firm grip, my foot kept sliding upwards while walking and yet the shoe was tight to me making my ankles and toes sore.I bought this because it's original cost stated some 7k and was on 60% discount, but sadly extremely poor quality. Returning it.Fake NB product
