Very comfortable and look awesome

I wear these to work every day. Even with the “memory foam” I still added a foam insert

As with almost every shoe I buy, I go a size up or two since they usually don't accommodate for wide feet, but they are absolutely amazing to wear if you're just upgrading from any basic retailer shoe from payless, footlocker, famous footwear, etc. If you have a drastically low arch, you may be looking for something more support as well.
I deal with almost no arch at all and it's a start but you might want a larger support since it feels really small for me, I'm a size 11.

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.

New Balance makes such nice and affordable shoes. The material does get dirty easily and is hard to clean unless you have the "show cleaners." Pretty sure people can find a crafty way to DIY clean these without having to buy a shoe cleaner, I just have not taken the time to see for myself.

If you're between an 8 and an 8.5, get the 6.5. If you're between an 8.5 and a 9 (like me), get the 7.

These sneakers look awesome in leather! The materials are quality and they appear very well made. They run at least 1/2 size smaller, and are pretty narrow. If you order the next size up, they might work a lot better for you.
Reviewer Geoffrey Openshaw
Awesome shoes. Great fit.

They look good, and they seem well made, but the toe box is waaay too narrow for me, even moving up a half-size. Very easy to get on with the rear pull-tab. Elastic on the inside of the tongue should hold it in place no matter how the terrain is pushing you, so that should help keep debris out of the shoe. Kudos for the included black and turquoise laces if you don't like the stock blue. It's too bad they were unbearably narrow in the front for me.

My husband wore these so much till they were falling apart but that been like 3 years now. I wish I could find a woman's pair with the pocket on the side like this that I like. I would love to have a pair for myself.
