5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish and Well-made, April 28, 2010

This is my first pair of New Balance shoes, and I'm definitely pleased. I was looking for a stylish pair of athletic-looking shoes and had previously owned a pair of Saucony Jazz. These shoes are better made, more sturdy and just as stylish as the Sauconys. They fit my feet perfectly. A few things to note:

1. These shoes are not for you if you are flat-footed or have lots of over-pronation. They have little to no arch support. I am a slight over-pronater myself, and before putting in my own custom orthotics (which I put in all shoes) I could feel my ankles rolling inward slightly when walking.

2. They seemed to have a break in period of a couple weeks. Not that they were uncomfortable at first, but they seemed to gradually become more comfortable as I wore them.

3. They are low-profle and have more of a solid feel, rather than a cushy feel.

4. I have normal width feet, and these shoes are perfectly snug on me. They may be too snug on you if you have wider feet.

After this pair, I will be buying New Balances again.

I like these. They are relatively low to the ground for running shoes and their colors are relatively subdued. Sadly, like most sneakers they are made in China probably by impoverished children.

I found these shoes to be terrible despite all these great reviews. They do not hold your feet at all and my heels started hurting terribly from them. If you want comfort I would not buy these.
