I've been wearing these for step aerobics and walking and they are very comfortable. I recommend sizing up a half size. I ordered my normal size 7 1/2 and my toes were squished, so returned and got size 8 (at a better price for the less popular color, I might add!) Size 8 initially felt a bit small on one shoe, but just barely. As I've worn them, the toe box has stretched out and they are very comfy!! I have plantar fasciitis and they seem to support my foot well. I ended up ordering 2 more pairs to rotate, as recommended by my podiatrist. They are discontinuing these because the newer model is coming out, so get these while you can at a great price!

I am a new runner and have never worn New Balance before. Based off of reviews, recommendations, and the great sale price, I decided to give this model a try. It's a beautiful shoe and built very well! I ordered the azalea color and found them more pink than red, a nice surprise. Unfortunately, the toe box was very very tight, so I will be returning them. I would second the other reviewer that recommended buying a full size higher. But even better, if possible try them on at a retail store First so you know what size you need, Then order from Amazon. I'm not sure if this is a New Balance trend, or if it was just this pair, since I've not worn the brand before. I'll probably look for them in a store before I re-order.
