Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Much better looking than in the online picture! The shoe that looks tan online is NOT! It's an absolutely beautiful dark sage/khaki green. The only reason I had to return them was (my fault) I should have ordered a 1/2 size larger than I usually wear. Zappos handled everything from start to finish - order shipment, return, reshipment of exchange order - PERFECTLY IN EVERY WAY, AT LIGHT SPEED SHIPPING @ no extra charge. I LOVE NEW BALANCE & ZAPPOS!

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Perfect - I needed a shoe to spend a lot of time in this fall. This is it. The fit is perfect. The comfort level is great. I thought I would get them early enough to break them in, but they don't need breaking in. I highly recommend this New Balance shoe.

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great shoe! Very, very comfortable. I bought a 1/2 size larger than usual for a boot, but 1 whole size larger than most shoes I wear. Shoe accommodates wool hiking socks with no problem. If I had a wish, it would be that they were waterproof. (Although I've waterproofed them, the tongue is free.) 2008-07-29 07:27:55 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Casper, WY Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Nice looking, good fitting shoe - This is a really nice shoe. It's nice to find an athletic shoe that isn't white, and that fits! Because I read other reviews that noted this shoe seemed to run 1/2 size smaller than marked, I ordered the 1/2 size larger and it's perfect. I have narrow heels and it doesn't slip there either. I would definitely recommend this shoe. Thank you Zappos for your great selection and excellent service!!!

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support New Balance WW749 - I thought this shoe was comfy right from the box. The wide width feels good, they might be a teeny bit big, but I think with a thicker sock these will be fine. I bought the green color and I love them! As always, I don't know how Zappos does it! Thanks guys! Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Rockport World Tour, Keen, Doc Martens 2008-06-28 11:36:40 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Delaware Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support NB WW749- really comfy - Fits well, works well with orthotics, feels secure and sturdy. The brown is a nice dark chocolate color, but I fear it looks a little too masculine. I think I'll be happier with the color in the autumn and winter months, when it's worn with darker clothing. 2008-06-20 07:41:16 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: Davina Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Stable shoe - This shoe was comfortable from the start; no breaking in or sore spots. It feels stable with good traction. Felt a tad small so I exchanged for 1/2 size larger. This is my second pair of this type; they last a long time. 2008-06-05 09:07:23 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Plymouth, MN Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Very comfortable right out of the box. Wore them camping for a week with great satisfaction. Good all-around rustic walking shoe. Complement actual hiking boots well. 2008-06-03 13:29:02 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Kansas City Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support New Balance WW749 - Been wearing New Balance for YEARS with my foot brace and love them, but was terribly disappointed when these new ones felt half size smaller than what they're labeled. They're making them shorter now and I can't move up a size, as I now wear a size 12 w/ brace on. I'm heartbroken. 2008-06-02 05:06:49 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Natchitoches, Louisiana en route to New Mexico Overall:

I am wearing them now on my cross trip of the United States. I highly recommend them for comfort and looks. 2008-05-25 15:00:41 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Vermont Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support CCI from VT - I got these shoes from Zappos two days before leaving for a hiking trip to Zion and Bryce Canyons in Utah. These shoes fit beautifully (although fortunately I ordered it in a half size larger than I usually wear in NB shoes), were comfortable from the get-go, and held up very well miles after mile after mile, in both 104 degrees AND then in snow (on the same trip!). I would definitely order these shoes again and would also highly recommend them as a great alternative to hiking boots. 2008-05-23 05:58:15 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from NY Overall:

Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great horse-shoe shoe - I needed a tennis shoe that looked more like a riding shoe in order to run along-side my horse in the show ring. These shoes are GREAT! Comfortable, well-built, great support and still very light-weight. Perfect for my needs. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid walking/hiking shoe without the added weight/bulk of "hikers".

Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great fit and comfort - I have wide, flat feet and use orthotics. These shoes feel and fit wonderfully without looking like "big, fat, wide, white sneakers". Comfort right out of the box. Worth every penny!

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Excellent shoes - Love these shoes, very comfortable from beginning to end. As part of a SAR team, this is imperative. I do wish I had ordered my size rather than 1/2 size larger as some reviews suggested, but with heaver socks they still work. 2008-04-26 04:30:38 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: Michele from Maryland Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Roomy Toe Box - I like these so much I'm buying a second pair. The toe box is roomy enough that it keeps me from getting ingrown nails. I wear an orthotic for high arches and there's enough room in the shoe to slip the orthotic under the liner. The color is a dark woodland green and the tonal variations are subtle. The shoes work well with fall colors and jeans. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Because of my high arches I also like Naot and Mephisto shoes with cork soles. 2008-04-23 08:49:44 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from NW Arkansas Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Shoe shopper - These are the first shoes I don't want to take off as soon as I am through walking. I continue to wear them around the house after visiting a theme park or wearing them at work all day. They probably look a little like hiking boots and I wouldn't wear them with dressy slacks, but the older I get, comfort comes before style! 2008-04-22 15:35:00 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from South-western Virginia Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Comfy after a short break-in period. I have difficult, ouchy feet, so finding shoes that fit is a miserable experience. Or was, until I found wonderful Zappos! Anyway, I like that these sneaks look like hiking shoes. And amazingly make my 9Wide feet look smaller. They have good traction on the soles. The wide fits my feet pretty well (just a little slippage in the heel, but not bothersome). I was hoping to be able to wear heavy socks with these, but they're a little too snug. I've been wearing them around town and found that after the first day or so they are comfortable. 2008-04-18 06:49:27 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Danville, California Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support My trail walking shoes - I love, love, love these shoes and they have made a big difference in comfort to my feet. Soon I will be ordering more New Balance, a white athletic shoe for summer. But for now, I am so glad I ordered these as I walk a lot every day, for exercise. Years ago, my podiatrist advised me to wear New Balance and he was right! The padding and support make a big difference in the way my feet feel!

Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Leather Upper Equals Good looking Comfort - This is a nice looking, comfortable shoe that doesn't scream "sneaker!" This model is carried elsewhere, and the recommendation was that it ran small and to order up one size. I did this when I placed my order at Zappos, and the shoe fits well. The sole is stable and wide, with a deep tread, providing solid footing on wet or snowy days. The dark brown color makes my feet (size 11) much less noticeable, and I'm very pleased about that! The shoes look great for everyday wear, but are sturdy enough for serious walking. I love 'em. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: New Balance consistently fits well, and I have several styles 2008-03-24 07:35:37 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Long Beach, California Overall:

When I ordered the shoes I was amazed at how fast Zappos processed my order and delivered them to me.

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support 740 series walking shoes are tops - These, as the others in 740 series of walking shoes, have good support and are great for heavy-duty city walking. I usually wear size 8.5 AA, but I've always needed to get 9 AA in this series of New Balance shoes. Size 9 feels like 8.5 in my opinion. I use full length custom orthotics, so I remove inner sole and replace with orthotics and I'm all set to go. The dark brown is fabulous compared to previous versions in various shades of tan/beige/light brown. 2008-03-04 05:05:24 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Midwest Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support These are nice - I now have these in two colors. Great as a loafer with jeans. Not particularly hip, but comfortable and much better as a look than white sneakers. It seems they run wide as I would usually wear a wide and have a regular B width in these. Very comfortable, even for a brisk walk of a couple of miles. I am spoiled by my Birkenstock sandals and have had a hard time finding something that will meet my high expectations, but these have been very good. 2008-03-02 06:27:11 New Balance WW749 Reviewer: from Lousiana Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Comfortable, good support - Comfortable with good support for walking. Size felt true to other New Balance shoes I own. The green color is slightly different in person than the picture.
