Great shoe for orthotics - I need a shoe that is made for neutral runners to wear with my orthotics and this is my second pair of this model. They are roomy in the toe and provide great support and cushioning.

I dance and run 40 hours a week. This shoe is rather heavy in the sole, I'm not used to that and I feel like my ankles are not happy because of the extra weight. They are a comfortable fit and have good arch support. They feel pretty good when I do leaps but they feel clunky when I dance.

Excellent! The first time I put on these shoes, I felt they would do the running for me. The shoes helped me walk faster than I imagined. I walked all over Europe in these shoes and they don't show any wear. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone who plans to walk a great deal. You won't go wrong with them.

A heavy sneaker, but good support for the supinator. Not the most fashion forward!

Disappointed - Although this shoe is nice looking, I found not good for walking. Too much room in the front. I could just have ordered the wrong size, but did not work for the use I had intended.

Comfortable but not what I expected - These are running shoes, which is more about comfort and performance than looks. I was looking for neutral grey gym sneakers to replace my old New Balance 470s. So I ordered the grey/pink pair of the WR8508. I was disappointed when I took them out of the box – they were more shiny and metallic silver than grey. The pink hollow heel looked kind of weird too. I wanted a shoe that I could wear with jeans to work, in addition to wearing to the gym and these just looked too ridiculous for my taste, so I had to return them. Otherwise, they were very comfortable and lightweight.

Teenage daughter loves them. I purchased the white/blue shoes for my teenage daughter. She said that they are the most comfortable shoes that she's ever had. They look great. As always, very prompt delivery.

Great shoe - I own several pairs of New Balance, and I think this will become my fav. They felt great the 1st time I put them on. I have a heel spur and it didn't bother me wearing these shoes.

Very comfortable - and stylish too - I needed new sneakers for the gym but I was really sick of the typical ugly "white plus another color" women's sneakers. Since my gym pants are generally black I got these and they look great. More importantly though they are very comfortable! I have multiple problems with my feet so it's tough to find good sneakers for me. I definitely recommend these.

New Balance WR8508 - Finally, after ordering and returning literally 100 pairs of shoes, these NB are the greatest! I have had surgery for a neuroma (which didn't really help), so finding comfortable shoes is VERY difficult. These shoes were just great, and no break in time needed. Zappos has been SO GREAT in that I've had to return more pairs than I've kept. So, thanks, Zappos for your great service.

Can a sneaker actually be "stylish"? This one is very stylish! The white/blue looks more like white/aqua or turquoise on my screen and that is what I wanted and that is what I got! The blue is a very soft, greenish blue. Very pretty and trendy for this summer. The shoe is very attractive, even on my wide foot… is well made and well cushioned, yet supportive. In NB, I usually wear an 8.5EE or 9 wide, so I ordered these in the 9W. Out of the box they fit great and the toe box was very roomy, but now that I've worn them a few times, I think I could have gone down a 1/2 size to the 8.5W in this shoe. I wore these all over France and did a lot of walking and my feet never complained. I like them so much, I am considering buying it in more colors.

I had never worn athletic shoes before. My daughter bought me these shoes and told me they would help my endurance. My back and feet feel much better when I take my walks. I am 70 years old. Thank you!

New Balance WR8508 - The shoes are great. The quality is durable and well made, very comfortable and they are really cute. These are my fourth pair of New Balance and each time I've not been disappointed. I wear a size 7 with a B width.

Red New Balance - These shoes are perfect for walking. I have a high arch and short Achilles heel, and these are the most comfortable shoes I have found in years! Zappos was great, as they even shipped earlier than scheduled.

Beautiful show...too tight - I am a supinator and wear a 10.5 Wide. I bought these 8508's and the 8507's (both in black). Out of the box I liked the look of these better. More sleek, less *sloppy*. When I received them I put one of each on and wore them for a few hours, changed feet and wore them for a while longer. These 8508's were smaller in the toe box. My toes got a tad tingly, so I know if I were exercising/sweating, they'd become too tight. I'm keeping the more *sloppy* looking 8507's - they were 100% comfortable for me!

Great New Balance - Great Fit!! Very nice shoe stylish and not clunky. The white/blue the blue is more a teal. Walked 2 miles right out of the box and there was no break in time.
