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.
The. BB550 is a very attractive shoe, quality craftsmanship, and comfortable for walking and casual wear. Compared with other NB shoes, the 550's run more narrow. I can normally wear either a size 13 D, 13 2E, or 14 D in 990's, 860's, 880's, 1080's, etc., but with the 550's a 14 D is the smallest size that fits comfortably. They are also quite stiff when new and take some wearing to break in. Overall, I really like these shoes and already have several pairs in different colors that I wear often. Others will undoubtedly be added to my collection as new color ways come on line. Give them a try but err on the large side to get a comfortable fit.
These new trainers are fantastic! Comfortable, stylish, and perfect for both workouts and casual wear. The cushioning provides excellent support, and the breathable material keeps my feet cool. Great traction for various surfaces. Overall, a top-notch purchase that exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
Personally, I did not like them when I received them. I would have preferred them to be ALL white, and not have that "yellowish" tint to them. I makes them look as if they had been already used. I will be returning them very soon.Overall, I am always satisfied with all of my previous purchases. I always recommend your shoes to friends and family
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
I was really excited for this shoe to arrive, I love the colorway. I suppose i should have looked into it.Every time I walk the crease point jams into the part where my big toe bends, and causes so much pain I pretty much limped my way today.It's so weird because this happens to my left foot but my right foot is fine. Its really comfortable compared to what I've worn, but I cant wear this.
