Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Fit Fit as expected, based on an informed decision: If you have never been fit for running shoes before, you may be disappointed. It is definitely worthwhile to stop by your local running shoe store and be fit; stores do this for free, or try on New Balance in similar styles to the shoe you wish to purchase. I strongly suggest at minimum using the sizing tool on the New Balance website. You can compare the fit of your current brand to New Balance sizes. I ordered a size 11 and usually wear size 10 dress shoe or sandal. I wear size 11 Mizunos for running, which the New Balance website converted to a 10.5. However, I like a roomy fit in the toes and ordered an 11 base on other reviews. Had I ordered a 10.5, I would have found them a bit small because the 11 is perfect. They are snug and could almost be worn without socks. Although I look like I have cankles in the picture, I actually have narrow ankles. The sides of my foot are displayed by the very low-profile sides and require low socks, but do not curve in on the back of the ankle and cut like some other low-profile shoes. The are very light and the insole is nicely padded, not squishy like some memory foam shoes, but very comfortable. Look The sides over the arch are lighter mesh than the rest of the shoe body. The red bad is loose and does scrunch up a bit when tying, which is my only criticism. The colors are as pictured. The dots are actually divits under the white mesh. The end of the laces are trimmed with red and the inside of the shoe has the classic Minnie red with white polk-a-dots. The Minnie bow is metal, of good quality and painted nicely. Presentation & delivery Because these shoes are in high demand, I had to wait until they were available to order. Once available, they shipped and arrived in Prime time. The box is also attractive, as to be expected from Disney and a nice bonus from New Balance. Overall These are a must for Disney Parks visitors and Disney fans alike. I am very excited to wear these on my next visit to the parks. They are comfortable and attractive. They are lightweight and will look good with shorts or pants. I would have been really disappointed had I ordered the wrong size and had to wait forever to exchange them due to the high demand. I am so glad that I investigated my size.
