For a relaxing promenade or a shopping tour, this sneaker is the one.
The combination of the comfort and the price gave it 5 stars plus.

This review is based on trying them on once.
I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)
The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.
I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

Nice looking shoes, pretty comfortable so far. A little bigger than expected, maybe half a size but they fit well enough.

This is the only brand my husband can wear that are wide enough for his feet. He has bad bunions and they are easy to break in for his feet. He wears the 5E width.

My son age 14, loves these. They fit well, AND YOU CAN PULL THEM ON WITHOUT MESSING WITH THE SHOE LACES. this means you can double tie them, and they do not become undone on you in the middle of the school day.
And they look really nice.

These are some really nice leather shoes for men. The leather and soles are both very good quality. These are nicely shaped and the finish is just beautiful. My husband really likes these shoes a lot and they look so good on his feet. He wears a size 8 and these shoes fit well (size 8). As of this review I don't know how much they cost but they are some fine looking dress shoes.

I've been running with New Balance shoes for years and found them to be the best. What I didn't realize is that they make such comfortable shoes for everyday wear. I spend a lot of time standing and walking on my job; I also have plantar fasciitis due to high arch and physical stress on my feet. I've tried pretty much everything from running shoes to walking shoes, as well as hi-end Clark's, and different arch supports. NB 801 are by far the most comfortable. They provide outstanding cushioning and support; you can easily slip them off for few minutes, and they look well-made. For the first time in years my fasciitis is not aggravated after hours of standing. I will get a second pair for traveling.

They go excellent with some shorts.
Reviewer James E Bennett
Wanted the NB609 which of course has been discontinued. This shoe is it replacement. Not as happy with this shoe. Why do these retailers change something that works and replaces it with something of lesser quality or less comfort. I will never understand that. Keep a quality shoe and quit messing around. The reputation of the company is the one that suffers
Reviewer Da Jester
Great shoe, ideal for walking
