New Balance Women's Catalyst Sneaker

The shoes are overall comfortable for training at the gym. I cant tie the laces snug without them hurting the tops of my feet. Especially when the foot is flexed. I have been wearing NB shoes for over a decade and this is the first shoe I had where the outer material is so stiff (not like my 880's) that the material doesn't 'give'. So with some adjustments I got them where they need to be . Not a deal breaker! I am normally a ladies size 8 but always size up to accommodate the NB arch support inserts. That said, I sized up to 8.5 wide and they fit well, albeit a tiny bit too big (hence me trying to tighten the laces). If I had the chance to order again I'd order my true size (but still select wide to add the inserts).

I brought these shoes during Black Friday on sale and this is one of the best purchases of my life! It’s absolutely so comforting to wear. I am not much of an active person but I walked 3 miles just in these shoes and didn’t feel any discomfort or pain in my feet, which was my biggest concern. Whenever I wear this shoe, I feel like I am almost floating because it’s so lightweight. I did size up by one. I am usually a size 7 but I sized up to 7.5 and it fits perfectly well.

I bought this pairs of sneakers for me, size same as other new balance shoes what I had, but they are smaller than standard shoes, there are written 25 cm, but really they are 24 cm. And I am very disappointed of this purchase, I have 530 and 9060 models, and this pairs are very different from my other models, more uncomfortable.

This shoe is very comfortable, sleek and fashionable. I would buy again in different colors.

I am REALLY loving these sneakers! I only wear these sneakers to weight train and for 20 minutes at most on the treadmill/stair stepper. I was worried about them being too snug and uncomfortable, but for me they are a great fit and true to size. They have a lot of cushion/support which I am not used to yet compared to my other training shoes (very old and worn), so it feels good to have the support while still being an extremely flexible shoe. I am really pleased with these sneakers!

Very disappointed in the insoles of these shoes. They are very thin and no cushioning. My 496v3 Cush that I have worn for years and put a lot of miles on, the insole is still thicker and more comfortable than the new ones. The sizing is a little off too. I have worn 7.5 wide in New Balance for years and they always fit perfectly. These are a little big on me.

For the decades that I have wearing New Balance I always bought 9.5 wide. I was so disappointed with this last pair. They were so small I couldn't put my foot in them. The shoe size noted on the shoe was 9.5 wide, but I don't know who they would fit. I only wear New Balance so I will give another pair a try. The last two pairs are great, but I need a dark colored pair.

The pink shoes are super cute & looks just like the picture. If you have wider feet though this style is not the best. They are quite narrow. I bought the wide versions as well to compare and they are about the same width just slightly longer in length. I have bought the same size in different styles and it has never been an issue. Overall cute shoes, not super great fit.
