Great Shoes!5
When I was looking for shoes, I had some recommendations from my Physical Therapist. She suggested either New Balance or Brooks. I needed a fairly straight shoe since I over-pronate and needed a built up heel area with extra support. The shoe is absolutely perfect for me. Everything as stated above with extra height in the toe box. The length and width were exactly what I normally wear in a shoe. The shoes are incredibly comfortable and provide stability to bad knees. Great for a runner to protect against the pounding or for non-runners with specific shoe requirements...and the lollipop color wasn't as bad as it sounded.
most amazing shoes to ever be on my feet5
I have several pair of New Balance sneakers in different styles, 992, 881, 882, 644, 621 and these. While I like all of them, this pair is the star of the crowd. They are very comfortable and they have great cushioning. I think it would be impossible for me to sprain an ankle while wearing them. They are worth every penny of their price.

I'm a fan. On my second pair.5
This is a great pair of shoes and I would highly recommend them. New Balance are the most comfortable shoes for me because of my wider foot (I get the regular (M) width though, not the extra (D) width). These shoes are no exception. I needed a pair of gym/running shoes (not marathon) and I found these. After 1 year with them, I needed a replacement as I am an avid gym goer with occasional outdoor runs. Comfortable, good support and substantial. Also, the back part of the shoe is low so it does not rub when wearing ankle socks.

The only thing I would warn is that there is mesh on the toes to make the shoe 'more breathable'. This is great except for when you step in a puddle or when it rains. This shoe is for indoors or sunny outdoors.
Great for overpronator with orthodics5
I have a collapsed arch so I wear orthodics to run (i was prescribed them while training for a marathon, but I was told to wear them whenever possible..ie wear with any shoes they fit in). These shoes go nicely with my inserts, as they are "stability", which by new balance standards is more support than the normal sneaker, and not as hard in terms of arch support as their motion control shoe. I've tried their motion control shoes, and the arch support is too much to even bother using my insoles, but even without the insoles the support is too strong. Bottom line, for each person the level of arch support depends on how you feel and what your foot needs.

Overall, I feel this is a great shoe. The heel doesn't slip and the toe box is also a comfortable width. They are physically light, so I don't feel weighted down when I run. I use them for running and also other gym activities - I take a lot of step classes, and they are comfortable the whole way through.

As for sizing - someone once told me to order a full size up than your street shoes for distance running. As a novice runner I listened, which worked fine for a little while. On a hunch I ordered these shoes only a HALF size larger than my normal street shoe, and I find this to be a much better fit. I would recommend this sizing to anyone buying this sneaker, just so you have the extra room in your toe area.

The shoe could be improved with something so minimal - New Balance has these bubble laces that keep your laces in their place. Although I haven't had a problem with these laces yet, inevitably during a long run the laces shift. I can only forsee this happening more frequently with these regular old-fashioned laces. Simple fix would be to chanage to the bubble laces for this running shoe.

Overall, bravo. I've spent over $100 on good, supportive running shoes...and this one depending on the color you can buy for closer to $50. I'm happy with the shoe and at this price I'm thinking of buying another pair already.

great fitting shoe5
I need a sturdy shoe for step classes and other fitness activities. Many shoes slip on my narrow heel, but this one fits well. I liked my first pair so much I bought another pair in a different color.

The best running shoes ever!5
These shoes are amazingly comfortable. From the moment you put them on your feet you really don't want to take them off. I can't say that I've ever had a pair of tennis shoes that I preferred to socked feet. Most importantly, they are the perfect running shoe. Extremely light, cushioned and plenty of support. I never write reviews but I am so happy with these that I decided I should write one. By far the best pair of running shoes I've ever had, and I've had a lot.
suprised...3
I have been wearing New Balance for years on the recommendation of my podiatrist. Started with the 990 or 991 and have upgraded every year as they "new and improved" the sneaker. I have always found them to be a long lasting, nice fitting (room in the toe area) with some arch support sneaker.

THIS is the first time I have had to return a new balance due to size.

I am a straight up 6 1/2 and could barely get my foot into this sneaker. I have never had this happened with a New Balance. Two of the things I love about them is they don't squish my toes and I have always been able to order online without trying them on first.

Ultimatley I do recommend the sneaker however, if you are looking at this style, and can find it locally, try it on before ordering. Amazon usually has the best price but it stinks to have to return and then reorder especially if you have to pay postage each way...there goes the savings.
WOW...!5
I never thought at the end of day, my feet are still very comfortable.

I heard of New Balance carries lots of running shoes and I thought they are like Nike or Adidas, but "less" trendy. However, at a very casual conversation with a friend; she said she needed to buy a pair of New Balance running shoes for her mother as the doctor directed. A friend on the side jumped in and said only the MADE IN USA ones are good but expensive. I pointlessly browsed the web on one random day and found this 993 model. I hesitated for 2 weeks before buying them because I am on a budget. However, Amazon has the cheapest price and what I paid is far more worth than my feet thanking me.

I have low arch (flat feet) and I thought it was a birth defect and never told anyone except my mom. No one ever told me I have to wear special made shoes and there I lived a good 30 years. Anyhow, this is a pair of fabulous shoes and if you are looking for comfort, do not hesitate. BUY them now.

I have heard the earlier model, 992, is better. However, I am too late to realize. 993 serve me well.
