A Great Walking Shoe - I hate buying athletic shoes because I never seem to find ones that fit very well. They are either too big, too tight, too small, or just not comfy. These are the first pair of New Balance shoes I've purchased and I am very pleased. Reading through the previous reviews, I noticed women stated to order a 1/2 size up. I was concerned, as I normally wear a 10W and finding a 10 1/2 W anywhere is impossible. EXCEPT at Zappos! I ordered these in 10 1/2W, and they were just right. They fit just a little snug, but not tight. And personally, I prefer the extra support while fitness walking. The shoe is lightweight, which is also a plus, and has something in the sole which keeps the foot straight while walking. It feels a little weird at first, but definitely makes the foot feel supported. A lot of the aches, pains and general discomfort during walking have gone away. I really like this shoes, and feel that now, with proper shoes, I can meet some of my fitness goals!

Great Shoe! I bought this shoe for my daughter who has size 10, double narrow feet and wears orthotics. She has a difficult time finding comfortable, well-fitting shoes but these New Balance shoes worked out perfectly.

New Balance WW sneakers - Being I have to wear extra wide width shoes/sneakers, I had in past years difficulty finding sneakers that were both comfortable and stylish. Having found Zappos.com a few years ago has been a godsend. I have had no problems with my purchases and I've also received the pleasure of upgraded shipping a few times also! As to reviewing the New Balance WW558 sneakers they are very stylish, comfortable and true to both size and width. The only thing that was different at first was the bottom of the sneaker isn't a flat, smooth surface (more like little grooves) and I had to get used to the feel when walking. Other than that, for me anyway, it is a sneaker that's definitely stylish and a fit that's right!

Great Shoe - This is a great shoe for exercise as well as simply walking around. I have a short, wide foot that is almost perfectly square, so it is difficult to find any kind of shoe that does not pinch. This shoe totally fits the bill and I have been a loyal customer since my orthopedic surgeon recommended them!

Nice all around shoe. This particular pair is a women’s wide, didn't feel or look that wide to me, but did fit better than the regular B width. I was able to insert my 3/4 length orthotics into them with wiggle room for my toes. Just in case anyone needs extra support around the ankle or to keep your heel from slipping like mind does (I have a narrow heel) I like the fact that the shoe lace holes at the top of the foot area allow me to lace them up snugly. I would also say that they have a moderate rounded toe that allows me all the room I need when wearing light to medium weight socks. I have flat feet and tend to pronate slightly and with my arch supports I must say these fit the bill, so far so good. Thanks Zappos.com for your speedy delivery (less than 24 hours) and for carrying size 10.5 women’s shoes, which I can tell you is hard to find.

Just what I needed! This is the second or third time I've purchased these shoes, and they are always perfect. No breaking in is necessary; they're comfortable right out of the box. They have a nice wide toe box, which is what I need. The heels are a little big for me, but some creative lacing takes care of that minor problem.

AVERAGE - Although I ordered up a 1/2 size as I always need to do with NB this shoe is not comfortable in the toe box. Feels like it curls up. Also there is a seam in the right shoe that is uncomfortable. Couldn't tell these issues by wearing around the house but when starting fitness walking outdoors they became evident. Very disappointed.

Love it - I could not be happier with this shoe! I have been wearing New Balance for years and they are truly better than other shoes in the market in my opinion. This pair did run about a 1/2 size smaller than others though. Order a 1/2 size larger than your normal size. I didn't believe the other reviews that said that because I have never had that problem with NB shoes. Its true for this one though.

Good shoe for the price - I bought this shoe for walking and it is great. I wish there had been more color options available, but the shoe is comfortable and serves its purpose. I tried wearing them with short socks and they rubbed the back of my ankle, but once I wore a pair of higher socks they were fine!

Reliable NB sneaker - I've always liked NB sneakers and now that I am a serious walker (every day!), I need a walking shoe that will perform well and not make my feet ache. This shoe felt pretty good right out of the box--I jumped on the treadmill and gave them a work out. This shoe makes my feet look even bigger than they are (I'm a 10) and I felt a bit like Frankenstein with boxy feet.

Walking Shoe - I always like New Balance and the 10.5 Wide is perfect for walking. I wear an 11 or 10 Wide for day to day work, etc. but I need the right size for exercising.

Life Savers - I needed these shoes for a 2 week trip to Europe that involved A LOT of walking! I got these and they were FABULOUS! I initially ordered them from a different website because they were a little cheaper, but they were a tiny bit too small and that website couldn't get a new pair to me fast enough, but they found them on Zappos for me and so I returned the 1st pair and got them here the very next day!!! Very fast delivery! Just remember that New Balance tends to run a little small, order a 1/2-1 full size bigger than what you normally wear!

Dissatified - I was very dissatisfied with these sneakers. Upon taking them out of the box and setting them on the floor, they looked worn. They were very stretched out and it seemed like the person that wore them was very pronated. They did not offer me enough support and the last didn't seem wide enough, which I thought would be adequate according to the description. Instead of returning them for a full refund, I donated them to a person in need.

I have worn New Balance for many years primarily for exercise and walking. This is the first pair that I have felt seemed smaller...maybe a half size or so. Also, the material used seemed thinner overall. I will continue to wear these shoes as the problems are not enough to return.

It is a beautiful shoe and makes large feet look smaller! The only negative is that there is a seam directly above the big toe area that is a little annoying.

Love my shoes! For years now, my preference has been New Balance. Usually I love their style, look and comfort level. However, a couple of times, the size has been off or they have been very uncomfortable. This shoe though is right on, extremely comfortable, I love the look and it fits perfectly! I have ordered from Zappos in the past and once again, am very satisfied with the expediency in processing/shipping the order and the service overall is great. Will order from them again!

30 mile per week walker - The shoe is attractive and comfortable from the first step - absolutely no break-in period. HOWEVER, it does not have the support for a serious walker on concrete. I felt as if I was walking in my comfy bedroom slippers!

Other shoes recommended by reviewer: You need a higher priced New Balance walker.

Lightweight comfort and flexibility - This shoe feels comfortable and lightweight. It was recommended to me to address suponation, and so far it feels good. I ordered a half-size larger as recommended, and the fit is just right with athletic socks. The wide width is great.

New Balance tennis shoe - This shoe is very nice looking. I bought it a half size larger than my normal shoe size and it slips a little on my heel. Other than that… I really like the look of the shoe and it is very comfortable.

Who knew sneakers came in narrow!! I finally found a sneaker that fit my skinny feet! I had no idea they even came in narrow until searching Zappos. I was having a hard time at the gym, when trying to balance on one foot in my medium width Nike's. When I realized that my foot wasn't being supported well enough by my shoes, I went home and placed my order for these GREAT fitting shoes. I had them on my doorstep the next day! I love my "New Balance."

Superb Shoe! This shoe is my favorite yet! I have a hard time finding women's tennis shoes in my size. (Women's 12) I have been purchasing only New Balance shoes for quite some time, and these are my favorite!

Other shoes recommended by reviewer: I've never had any problems with ANY New Balance shoe!
