Update 7/22/2022 Yellowstone/Grand Teton hiking update Ok put these to the test. I'm 250 lbs. Hiked Grant Teton to Inspiration Point = 1 mile with a 1000 ft rise. The trail is blazed and mostly easy until the last rise which is all craggly rock (good for shredding tennis shoes). My son had regular tennis/walking shoes and it hurt his feet. My feet were little happy paws. Loved having these shoes. Usually I would use hiking boots. Also hiking around the boardwalks in Yellowstone and some of the trails. The shoes held up and were solid hiking shoes to the point that I never had to pull out my hiking boots. Maybe if we were in the back country one might need boots for ankle support. But all other hikes these would be great. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shoe is great. Best fit is to lace all the way to the top eyelets because it keeps the shoe snug. Very comfortable. Going to use these hiking in yellowstone. I will try to update after my trip this year. ... show more

  • He loves them! Comfy out of the box ....
I bought these for my guy's birthday as he likes New Balance, and he said he couldn't be happier with the fit, style, and comfort level of these athletic shoes. His foot size is 10.5 but I bought a size 11 as that's what he wears in athletic shoes (and I as well always order a half size up in athletic shoes). The 11's fit him perfectly. A very good point: he said these shoes were comfortable from the time he put them on. That's a good sign--you don't want a shoe that you feel you have to 'break in' - shoes should feel good as soon as you put them on your feet! They are lightweight but sturdy. The tread is good for light 'hiking' (an even and not too rocky trail), and would be great for walking or gym workouts. He's not a runner, but he could do a light jog in them. Supportive. Comfortable. And they look great. ... show more

  • Good shoe, at least three pairs in...
Due to the sturdiness, the available wide widths, and a fairly reasonable price, this has been my favorite athletic shoe for several years. The soles are fairly thick and cushion ones feet on the road when walking (my primary use these days) or running (not as much as I used to, I'm afraid). I'm now on pair number three (or possibly four?) of this version of the shoe and can see another in the future. The one thing that I don't like about the shoe is that while arch support is good, the insole at the ball of the foot is fairly thin and feels skimpy in comparison to the sole, allowing one to feel some issues with the top of the sole itself (or perhaps the grooves on bottom reflecting through). A thicker insole with a little more padding would make the shoes even more comfortable without the need for a supplemental aftermarket insole placed below the NB insole. ... show more

  • Don't buy the WIDE ones if you are not a large footed individual
My size was not available, only the same size but in WIDE. I thought "meh, they probably fit anyway". NOT. They were too wide. Those are definately made for some wide puppies, I mean, for some big _ss tamales. Nothing wrong with them, they looked awesome. Totally my fault. I want to buy them again in MY size really soon. ... show more

  • Gr8 fit like all New Balance
Update: have had em a few weeks now and while they are great for trumping around Arizona trails (lots of rocks) they are so comfy I have taken to wearing them all day long. GREAT support and feel. Based on User Reviews I ordered both 11 x wide and 11.5 x wide since many people claimed they ran small. This was NOT my experience. My normal 11, 4E size fit true to form and the general feel of the shoe is nice and comfy. I do 'feel' the toe box a bit but I am not sure that does not just have to do with how I have laced them. Also, I am not used to wearing 'hard' shoes as normally I wear running shoes which have a 'soft' upper and toe box, so no comparison. Sending the 11.5s back today, thank you PRIME!!! The shoes look awesome, I really like the style and colors. Laces seem puny, which makes 2 from NB with cheap laces. I hate that as they tie up in knots easily. Someone wrote they are now made in Idonesia. That sucks, NB has always marketed "made in USA". Overall for 62 bucks I think they will great for hiking in AZ where we have lots of rocks and it get HOT. This seems a good choice. I will update after having used them a while. ... show more

  • Tongue is not wide enough. Not the usual from New Balance.
I have exclusively bought New Balance shoes for the last 15+ years now because of the quality they bring to the table. This pair of shoes is quality made but has one major flaw for me, the tongue is not even close to being wide enough. It is as if they took the tongue for a much smaller size of shoe that is normal width and just super-imposed it on this pair. I ordered a 14 X-Wide and the shoe itself fits fine. However, I struggle to close the tongue gap not show my socks. Sometimes I can pull it tight enough to and sometimes I have about 1/4 inch or more gap on one side. I've never had this problem with any pair of shoes, let alone New Balance. It's embarrassing. The tongue for this shoe, for any wide or other shoe, should be about a 1/2 inch wider than what it is. I bought three pairs at once and this is the first one I am finally getting to after my other ones wore out so there is no recourse for returns. Severely disappointed. The other thing I noticed with this pair is that it has a bit of a forward lean to them when standing. It pushes your toes to the front. ... show more
