had it for one year of continuous wear through rain, mud and snow. held together well but it shrank due to the repeated soaking in water.

Awesome! Looks great, feels great.

Just finished my first shift in these new kitchen kicks - love these shoes. Best part is how light weight they are and how much cushioning they offer.
They look good, co-workers thought I had Chucks on...but I showed them they are from Emeril, are water & oil slip resistant and they are treated to keep my feet dry.

Bought for hubby, his regular sketchers size 12. These fit amazingly great and he loses the comfort level. They look great too. Thank you for the try before you buy option.

My dad just raved about these shoes again. He's had these sneakers since December 2016. For the past ten years he's never had a pair of shoes that lasted more than half year until he met these. This one made it well past and he feels it will last more months to come. Another plus are the velcro snaps; his hands are not as nimble so the Velcro is perfect to secure his feet into the shoes. He is so happy with these, he's planning his next pair; he requested to get these same shoes next time he needs a new pair but in the color black and half size smaller.

I have 6 pairs of Dunham shoes; these are my favorite. They are my daily walking shoes, but can easily fill in for going out to dinner or just hanging out. They look good and feel great. I do like the look a lot, with the gray suede and vents; I like this look much better than sneakers with funky neon designs and giant brand logos. These shoes have little arch support, which I prefer with my flat feet, but that might be a negative for some people.
PROs
Attractive and stylish for a sneaker - nice upscale look that can cover a wide range of activities from office casual to exercise.
Very comfortable, I love the fit. They are my best fitting shoes.
Seem to be made of quality materials
Decent amount of sturdiness for usage as a walking shoe or standing for lengths of time.
Sizing is pretty much true-to-size, you can purchase in your size with confidence. Perhaps they are slightly (1/4 size) short in length. Order a 1/2 size larger if you want some extra room or a margin of safety.
CONs
As mentioned, they are pretty flat. If you have a high arch you will probably not like these.
Outer sole is acceptable but a bit on the thin side. They don't feel plush and thick underfoot.
Price is all over the map, you will see them from $52 to $130. You're certainly overpaying if you spend more than $100, they are not really a $100+ shoe, more like a $60-$80 shoe imho

I have lyme disease which results in my feet often being painful, so finding a pair of shoes that is comfortable is essential to me....and rarely found. These shoes definitely meet the requirements!!! They're lightweight and comfy, easily worn all day. I normally wear an 11, but sometimes a 10 1/2. I ordered a 10 1/2 and they fit perfect.
Maybe I'm slow or missing something, but these shoes are slipons. I view the laces as decorative.

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.

Couple of years ago I purchased a pair of Skechers slip-ons and though I wore them everyday, they were dangerous. They would slip off, they provided no support, and countless times I came close to turning an ankle...still I wore them for several years. I decided enough was enough and I gambled on these slip ons, and LOVE THEM. They fit perfectly (size 13 narrow foot), they provide decent support and generous cushion. They are super comfortable and are very stable. I would not run in them, but they are great for all casual situations...even wore them to church when I was feeling really casual.
Reviewer Nelgin Wiren
These are very nice sneakers, but run about 1/2 a size small.
