Tight tongue across top of foot
The tongue has an elastic band on it that keeps the tongue in place. But it is Really tight. Needed to stretch it out because it’s way too tight

Great Daily Trainer
First, I size up in all New Balance. I wear 8 in most brands- 8.5 in New Balance. Cushy, springy and great everyday trainer with nice colors.

Love these
The cushioning is perfect, and these might be the most comfortable tennis shoes I've owned. Fleet Feet's system got it right.

Running shoe
Good shoe, comfortable , fits a little different than the old 880’s but all around good running shoe. The color options for women’s aren’t great not very appealing at all. I bought the bright yellow and would have purchased two pairs but no bold colors just bland and boring. Really hoping New Balance will give better color options for women in the future.
