Amazing color scheme & the comfortability is through the roof on these. Highly recommended! Great price & modern appeal to a timeless classic. Well done new Balance!

I have never owned or even tried on NB shoes so after reading reviews I decided to order a size 8 1/2. I am usually a size 9 across the board, sometimes an 8 1/2, so I went with the 8 1/2 and so glad because they fit like a glove. Not sure why some reviewers say to size up because they definitely run true to size or even a half size down (which was in my case).

Appearance:They are a solar-white, a bright, crispy white with almost off-white laces, I like it! I say these are my NB "AF1's" lol. I really like the style of them, they're classy and I hadn't or at least didn't remember seeing them before so I was wondering of their size-profile - and they are low-pros if you know what I mean, just sleek and great looking.Sizing: as far as the fit, I love them. After I ordered them I was like 🤦🏻♂️ "oh no" because I thought I got the wrong size. See, I wear a 10.5 most always but I have 2 other pairs of NB which are size 11's bc they're so narrow and even a bit snubby but when these arrived and I tried them on, I was pleased at the fit (I even had on thick socks!)As far as the comfort, they are wonderful.

Usually you need to break-in a shoe & I don't want to be misleading I'm sure this shoe will probably feel even better the 5th time I wear it than the first day; however, my point is that I had no initial "new shoe" discomfort. On the opposite, I couldn't stop thinking just how comfortable they were all day long.

My husband bought these for me for my birthday. Out school colors are royal so he knew I’d love to wear them to events and school. I wore them and they were a huge hit with the teachers and students. Super comfortable, too’
You know you hit it out of the park when you get asked “hey, nice shoes. Where’d you buy them?” They’re also VERY comfortable.
I love these shoes, I have 3 pairs in white, beige, and blue, and I wear them as a daily shoe all the time. They fit very well with pants and shorts, and get lots of compliments as they are not a trendy or mainstream shoe. I’ve worn these walking for an entire day, I’ve played pickleball in them, I’ve worn them out at parties, they’re very versatile, and easy to clean as well as they are made of leather. Extremely underrated, I would have a pair in every color they offer if I could.
Bought these for my 14 y/o. True to size...he has fairly wide feet and the medium width is fine. Made well and the leather will stay cleaner. NB holds up so much better than Nike.
I kid you not this is how the shoes looked when I took them out the box like someone tried them on and put them back. You really can’t tell but the paper that keeps the shoes from creasing I had to push the paper all the way to the top because if I remove the paper the shoes are creased like they’ve been worn. Come on yall gotta do better. I just wanted a pair of NEW SHOES.I highly recommend to go up a size. They run pretty small.
THese are nice looking shoes, but the fit was tight. They hurt the top of my foot. Also, not much cushion for long time on your feet. Stylish yes.
I got alot of compliments the first time I wore these. I got my true size 8 but I think I could have also gone down to the 7.5 comfortably. Either way I'm happy with them. It was an extra surprise to find they offered a 2nd set of shoe laces in orange which added a color pop!
