New Balance Women's WW565 Everlight Zip Walking Shoe

Narrow walking shoes are often difficult to find, so I was delighted when I found these online. I took a chance and ordered two pair and I am very happy with them. They fit my narrow feet well so my feet and ankles feel supported and my foot does not slide around inside the shoe...and they do not pinch my feet at any point. I wore them all day on the first day they arrived and forgot I had them on! That never happens with new shoes for me. The light weight of the shoes is a lovely bonus. I haven't "road-tested" these shoes with all-day walking at a theme park or similar place, but I am hopeful they will perform well under those circumstances, too. Although I answered "yes" for the arch support question, on a sliding rating scale, I would have chosen a medium rating for that, rather than a 100% positive answer. So far, I don't have any complaints about the arch support, but would be better able to judge that after standing/walking all day. I won't comment on the other pair of shoes, as the only difference between them is the color. UPDATE!!! After a brief period of wear, these shoes quickly expanded and are too loose! Regarding the arch support...not very good, I'm sad to say. Now that the shoes are so loose, they are not comfortable for all-day walking at the zoo or a theme park. Basically, I am disappointed and wish I had not bought 2 pairs of these shoes.

The shoe is on the short side. I usually wear a size 7 and mostly wear New Balance shoes, so ordered the Everlight Zip in a 7. My right foot is slightly larger than my left. The left is a perfect fit, but the right is barely long enough...my big toe touches slightly. If I hadn't worn the shoe to check out the fit, I might have returned it and ordered a 7.5. But the shoe is wide enough...the length is the problem. Also, this one does not provide the support I find with my other New Balance walking shoes. So...slightly longer, and with the support of the average New Balance, and this would be the perfect shoe! I love the look and the overall feel. Just want a tad bit more from New Balance.

I bought this shoe a half size larger in hopes that if the toe area was as narrow as others have stated in their review, the shoes would still be OK.These shoes have a very narrow pointed toe and it is too narrow for my wide feet. The shoe is very nice looking, the color is great and they seem to be very well constructed, but they are not comfortable to wear.

Need an orthoticI haven't worn these for any period of time so my review is limited. I did have to add an orthotic as there was very little support. With the orthotic, the shoe seemed quite comfortable but would not have kept it otherwise.

This is a great, lightweight walking shoe that looks a bit more stylish than your typical "sneaker." They're laceless, super easy to slip off (even without unzipping) & are well-finished and supportive but surprisingly lightweight. I was a little leery of ordering, after reading through the reviews and finding some people complained of mismatched shoe sizings, but my pair arrived today & are perfectly matched.I chose light grey (picture doesn't do them justice; they're not quite as "drab" as they look): they have a splash of color (just a bit of purple on the inside instep, not shown in the photos & a bit of purple at the heel) that livens them up; just the right touch to add a little interest. They look great with jeans and are just the ticket to trek through any big box store with a spring in your step (I'm one of those hurry-up-and-get-me-OUTTA-here-shoppers). I'm pleased with the fit & finish; they're up to New Balance standards & mine have already gotten a great workout today. Feet feel fine & I really like the unlaced-look (I chose light grey). These are my new casual shoe favorites; highly recommended!---Have a question about these shoes? Leave a comment & I'll be happy to help you, if I can.

The New Balance Everlight Zip Walking Shoes that I purchased are su big and "mushy" that I don't get the support needed to walk in comfort. I will not be wearing them. If I had tried them on in a brick and block store, I would not have purchased them. Based on their fit, comparing them to other shoes I own in this size, I would not recommend them. Ruth Holden

These shoes are very comfortable.They were not as wide as I had hoped but they fit nicely. I wear them all day long and they feel great!The zip top is very handy and they are a breeze to get on and off.I recommend them.

I really like these shoes. They are very soft & pliable & move with my foot. I have a bunion & very sensitive feet & these don't bother them at all. My only complaint is that because they are so soft & the fabric moves they are a little big. I wear a 7-1/2 wide, but could have ordered a 7-1/2 medium because they are so giving. The depth of them also is a little large, so I put in another orthotic on top of the one that it came with & then it's a much more snug shoe & my foot doesn't move as much. Also, when are shoe companies going to put at much sole on the ball of the foot as they do on the heel of the foot. I need a lot of support on the ball of my foot & these are ok, but if they were thicker I'd give them a better rating because I do a lot of walking (6-7 miles a day) & need more support.
