Fits better than any shoe i've had before, very comfortable and easy to slip on and off, but sturdy enough if you do a lot of walking.

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.

The styling is fine; the fit is as expected. The memory foam bedding is defintely comfortable and as a walking shoe in summer, this is a great option. Best suited for casual wear/walking around town/walking. Though lightweight, its utility as a primary shoe for running/jogging is limited, IMO, nostly due to concerns on how well the foam cushion and stitching can hold up for regular use. Overall, at this price point, a good value for walking/casual sneakers - the "performance sneaker" may still be true, but it will significantly reduce the life of the shoe.

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.

Day 1 of a long 9 hour shift. Walking 3-4 miles a day and delivering boxes. Shoes are a bit clunky. My left knee is hurting tonight. I’ve been wearing crap tennis shoes for years, so I’m assuming there will need to be time to adjust. The shoes are also very tall. There’s a decent amount of memory phone, but it’s all just sold rubber and plastic underneath for a good inch. They are noisy and seem a bit slippery.
On the up side, my feet feel pretty good.
Update 2: it’s been two weeks now. Walking 3-4 miles a day. The soles still feel clunky and they are loud. They don’t feel very stable on wet floors. Both my knees are hurting more now. Please don’t ever ever hike in these. I’ve been hunching over more because the heels are so incredibly high, so my shoulders and neck are killing me. The back of the heels hit the back of steps sometimes because they stick out so much. I feel awkward and everyone looks at my shoes when I walk at work because you’d think I was wearing gigantic boots. The soles feel like a hard plastic-like rubber. The memory foam has lost its charm already. The shoe already feels bigger inside, which I wanted at first....but it’s m because the memory foam has lost all its padding depth/comfort. I’d send these back if I didn’t throw the box away. They fool you into thinking they are comfy at first, but then the trouble starts.
I went to a Skechers store and they told me about all the returns they had with this model. At least I only paid $27.
I’m giving them 2 Stars now because I did get such a good deal, but I’d advise you to be weary if your body has a hard time with high soles. If they last a good 6 months, I’ll up the stars.
Update: after a month of wearing them, I’ve started to fit into them nicely. They still squeak and are too loud when walking on concrete floors, but I’m used to it. Aches have gone away.....I’m assuming because my body has adjusted. Back up to 4 stars. Minus one because they are so loud and the soles are too bulky. Also the padding is “meh”. But, I’m glad I got them.

I bought these for my husband to use on a trip where space was limited - especially for shoes. He did not go on the trip, but he has worn them constantly since he got them, so I'm assuming they're a big hit. He's only had them a couple of months, so I can speak for durability, but so far, so good. A nice looking sport shoe and very comfortable. What more can you ask!
Reviewer Daniel Larson
