MOST COMFORTABLE SNEAKER EVER!!!! I bought a pair of New Balance mules a few years ago and loved them and each year I would buy a new pair. This year I tried everywhere to buy them and could NOT find them anywhere. I tried the New Balance website and they didn't have them. My friend told me about Zappos and so I gave it a shot. I was so happy to see the New Balance mules on Zappos. My new favorite shoe now also my new favorite place to buy them - Zappos. The shipping could not have been quicker either. I ordered them on a Saturday and they arrived on Monday! I am so smitten with Zappos! I can't believe I'm writing this because I never write reviews but as they say "Happy feet make a happy person".

These are beautiful. BUT the heel is a little loose and the toes are tight. High, high quality. Wish they felt a little more comfortable!!

Great looks, great price - This shoe is really nice. It is lightweight and the quality and comfort is outstanding. (According to my mom since I bought them for her).

Casual - This is the 2nd pair of 802's that I've purchased. I like them for their comfort and ease of wearing. They give me support and are great for walking around a mall or grocery shopping.

Not worth the amount spent - I was very disappointed. I am a fan of slip on athletic type shoes. This shoe had not enough padding for me. Also fit was not true to size.

Glad I Read the Reviews First - I'm really glad I read the reviews on these shoes before I bought them. I followed the general advice to order a larger size. I usually wear a 7W, but ordered a 7.5W. They fit but are not very wide at all. If I had ordered my usual size, I would have had to send them back. Overall, I find them comfortable, but think they look a little odd because the front of the shoe sticks up quite a lot. They felt too tight when I tried to wear orthotics in them.

Best Ever NB Mules - I love love love these slides/mules. No break in time at all! Perfect arch support. Get lots of comments on how cute they are and for a size 12 - that's something.

My new favorite shoe - This is my first review on Zappos despite several years of ordering because I fell in love with this shoe. I received these right before going to New Orleans in July and these were perfect for extensive walking around the city in hot weather, and GREAT in the airport security screening process. I was wary of slide staying on heel but they do, and the overall fit is VERY comfortable. I have bunions so love sneakers and these look great and don't scream "I'm wearing sneakers!" New Balance runs half size small and these do too so order size accordingly. I wore these with low cut socks for sweat absorption but you could wear these without.

New Balance Slides - Overall the shoes are very comfortable. The only problem I found was that the inner soles are not attached and repeatedly come out when you take your foot out. Very irritating!

Home and Travel - I purchased the New Balance 802's because I wanted a shoe easy to slip on and off when changing into golf shoes. The 802's were so comfortable I wore them almost exclusively on my recent trip to Mexico City, even to climb the pyramids! A catalogue recommended ordering a half size larger than usual and this worked for me. I plan to purchase another pair as soon as I finish this review.

Satisfied - Pros: The shoe is comfortable, easy to slip on and off, and cute. Cons: I was looking for a pair of shoes I could wear without socks which was fine until it hit 90 degrees outside. I am very happy with my purchase. I definitely agree with the review I read previous to buying these shoes; go at least a 1/2 size bigger. I went a 1/2 size larger and my heel is right at the back seam.

New Balance... Really? I expected a shoe with an excellent arch support since it is by New Balance. This shoe is very flat inside and my feet tire very quickly in it. It also felt rather narrow for a Wide size. The top does stretch, but the footbed itself was rather narrow. It looks nice on, but I can only wear it for about half an hour.

I usually order a 6.5B, but ordered a 7B and find it fits just right. It stays on, but can come off and on easily when I desire it to do so. I am breaking it in for airplane rides and plan on using this shoe for sight seeing in DC this fall.

Great basic shoe. Not too casual and not too dressy, just right. I got the gray that looks great with all colors. The wide width is really comfortable.

Great shoe for walking and is light weight. These are great if you like to walk in warm weather, but don't want to deal with hot heavy gym shoes, and if you need more support than a sandal.

I bought a pair of 802's after ankle surgery as the incision was right under my ankle bone and all regular tennis shoes were uncomfortable. I wore them all the time and they were so comfortable. I did get a 1/2 size larger and that works fine for the swelling I had after surgery. It is now 9 months later and I have bought 3 more pairs. I walk 5 miles in them without a problem. They are so comfortable, cool and look great with jeans or shorts.

Short on support - I'm disappointed in this shoe. It does not provide foot support in the arches and is ill-fitting overall. Initially it felt comfortable, but didn't hold up thereafter.

Good shoes - These are the third pair of New Balance slip-ons I have purchased. I am a nurse and I wear them to work. They accommodate those end of the day swollen feet. The only complaint I have about these shoes is the available color choices – pretty drab!

I love them!!! I recently sprained my ankle and was wearing flip flops to the gym. These solved that problem in an instant. The stretchy material worked out perfectly for both of my feet because I was able to fit them over my ankle brace, and they still stayed snug on the other foot. My only complaint is that they run a little short. I'm normally a 9.5-10 and the 10s were too short, so the next half size up would be perfect. They're really cute too. I got the green ones and they're so subtle that they work with just about everything. Of course Zappos rules too.

Super comfy! Buy this shoe! The color selection is a little odd and I didn't realize until mine arrived that it has some sort of design on part of the canvas but is it ever comfortable! I took mine out of the box and walked around New York City for 3 days!! Comfort, fit and support with literally no break in time! I have a wide foot so did order the "wide" and the toe box was perfect - no rubbing anywhere! It's a great fit! You won't be sorry!

These are GREAT! This is one great shoe! I knew the minute I put it on--there is no getting used to these shoes...they are comfortable right from the start. Zappos has great service, too. I had to go up a half size. These fit a half size small.
