    Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2025
    Color: Black/BlackSize: 10 WideVerified Purchase
    These are my favorite shoes & these are my second pair. Only reason I replaced the first pair is cus I wore them down being lazy and shoving my feet into them without untying them. The heels are torn on the inside but this would have been avoided if I had taken better care of them. Totally on me. Everything else about old ones is still solid, comfortable, and supportive. They're leather so they don't rip or tear. Remarkably comfortable. I bought them because they were recommended for plantar fasciitis pain & wide toe box. Completely got rid of my pain & my feet no longer feel cramped.

    I will say the wear in period was a little weird. They are pretty stiff right out of the box and certainly take a few days to wear in. They are also not super breathable and until they wear in my feet are prone to get a little too hot. This goes away fast

    I fully expect this pair to last several years of all day every day wear. I never write reviews but these shoes are worth the time to review lol

    I bought for pickleball in size 9 narrow and they are exactly the right size. They fit fine, the style helps my big foot look average, the light blue accent is nice on the white sneaker. I played pb comfortably, so the treads seem to let me pivot. They were comfortable right out of the box, though a bit stiff, but still comfy.

    Great walking shoe! Wide toe box. Firm support to counter ankle pronation. Tongue stays low. Heel cup is comfortable, supportive grip with no slippage. Can wear ankle socks or "no shows" without losing them in the shoe. These are fully leather, with exception of tongue, so are a firmer shoe, but didn't need to be broken in. Great value for the money and would purchase again.

    Love these shoes! Normally I wear a size 5 even a 4.5 I have petite feet but recently I learned you need space between your toes and where the shoe ends so I got a 5.5 which i never do and they fit perfect one thumb away from the front of the shoes just like you’re supposed to so your feet have room to breathe. I am a hair artist and work on my feet all day I have $200 all shoes and these are just as comfortable for way less of the price. I’m buying more in different colors. I highly recommended if you stand a lot for work!

    Very pleased with these new sneakers! I have recovered very well from a stroke, have a new knee on the affected side heel spur on both feet and, of course, substantial arthritis. I must walk and I have found this brand, with exceptional quality in the soles, allow me to walk so much more comfortably! Indoors and out when I’m tending my yard and playing with Bear, an excellent companion and ball player👍

    Color: White/PinkSize: 8.5 WideVerified Purchase
    These 8 1/2 wide NB shoes are too wide. I can’t wear them this way and since I wore them to try out, I can’t return. This pair is extra wide and I feel like I’m wearing duck feet. And they make a word popping noise when I step down. Is this real? I’ve been wearing NB for 30 years and never had this bad experience.

    Reviewed in Canada on August 1, 2024
    Color: Black/BlackSize: 10 WideVerified Purchase
    The media could not be loaded.
    Absolutely LOOOVEEEE my new black running shoes! But please get them 1/2 size smaller for your foot, there is A TON OF CUSHIONING and stretching. Right out of the box, these shoes felt like they were custom-made for my feet. The cushioning is exceptional, providing a perfect balance between support and softness. I’ve completed several long runs, and my feet have felt great every time. The traction on these shoes are INCREDIBLE. Whether I’m running on pavement or a trail, the grip is reliable and consistent. They handle sharp turns and sudden stops without any issues, making them ideal for a variety of running environments.

    EXTRA: After weeks of intense use, they show minimal signs of wear. The materials are high-quality and seem built to last, which is impressive considering the level of comfort they provide.
    Overall, these black running shoes have exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and comfortable pair of running shoes!
