I usually wear women's size 8 and ordered these in a men's 6.5 in the white/white colourway. Would have grabbed womens, but they're never in stock or gone before you know it! Fit is good, albeit a little tiny bit big. Might have gotten away with a men's 6, but women's 7.5 is usually way too tight. I'm almost always a EUR39. Didn't want to chance sizing down. So far so good, but the only thing annoying is the exposed midsole foam. Dirty in 5 minutes of wear. Are they the most comfy shoes I own? No, that title goes to my 990v5's, but these 550s are a totally different look. Good shoes overall.

No other shoe is this comfortable and looks this good all around. Ultraboost takes a back seat in comfort. Crocs don’t look this good. Basically if you wanted air forces but needed to wear them all day without your feet hurting. Can’t help but keep getting pair after pair. Last ones lasted me a year and still look good beat in.

Worth the purchase! The shoes are both super cute and comfy at the same time. A super universal pair and the gray is super subtle. Didn’t even have to break in, they were comfy off the bat. Super good choice if you’re looking for a back to school or every day type of shoe. Planning on getting a different color soon!

Cute but these are really stiff and have an oddly shaped toe box. They look U or square shaped at toe…different in person. I am surprised at the number of stellar reviews actually. These may be ok if you have flat feet or walk flat footed, but for anyone with any type of arch, these are not my favorite. In hindsight, I should have sent back but already threw the box away. Prefer other NB models to this one. Just no.
I have yet to see any real helpful reviews for those are looking to purchase these for the first time. For reference, I normally wear a size 12US in Nike, Vans, Adidas (Jordans, Eras, Boosts, etc.). For ALL New Balance shoes I've ever purchased, going down a half size is a must for me, and I did so again with these (11.5), and they are a perfect fit, as expected. Know that you are buying a full cut shoe, meaning these puppies are meant to be laced up right and tight. If you leave an eyelet open, you're almost assuredly going to have some bad heel slippage, just the nature of these shoes. But if you can get a perfect fit, and lace them up completely, the heel slippage is very minimal, and you sort of forget about it. Regardless, don't expect these to be molded to ... MoreI have yet to see any real helpful reviews for those are looking to purchase these for the first time.

I bought these shoes while they were on sale and I got them for casual wear. I'm usually a 9 in women's shoes and the size 8 in men fit me perfectly. They are very comfortable, however very narrow. Got so many compliments while wearing them but will definitely have to break them in a little so that they feel less stiff.
Decent traction for court play. Shoe length is OK. Upper material is super stiff; it took several hours of use to break in. Not like modern mesh materials. Toe box is much narrower than normal sport shoes. If you’re on the border between standard and wide, this is one style to definitely get the wide size if available.
Bought as a Christmas present for my boyfriend, he absolutely loves them. His feet fluctuate in size based on the branding and style of shoe, so these fit perfectly.He tends to be an 8-9 but 9 fit perfectly. He loves them!Also worth buying a spray to waterproof themAlso finds them very comfortable! Comfortable sole, but shoe is stiff enough/good quality to hold shape
Bought it for my 12 yr old son as he was complaining that he's school sneakers is tight on his feet now. He was skeptical about wearing it to school because it looked heavy and he might not be able to run around with it during gym class. But when he came home he said it did not bother him at all and that he was comfortable with it. Been wearing it everyday to school for 2 weeks now. Love it!
