Tue May 02 2006Whatever... see Nike Shox and old balance 702 if you need a reason.

Mon Sep 06 2004The shoe is light and it breathes well. Look great too. But the best part is how I got them. I had split my work boot at one of my stops and to make a long story short found them practically new for $3.50 at a thrift store on Elston ave. in Chicago.

Wed May 21 2003The only brand of shoes that consistantly supports my arch. I have very flat feet and do (or did before I had kids) a lot of distance running. New Balance kept me from repeat visits to the podiatrist and I have never got blisters on my heels from these as I often did with Nike Air.

Sun Apr 01 2001Ok, It's true, Running shoes are becoming trendy, but anyone who knows anything about backcountry running knows that New Balance makes a good product. The 803's are not made for walking around or running on track. They are called "all terrain" for a reason, not just to look cool. They will keep you way more comfortable in trail running than just ordinary runners, but when you sit in them all day, sure, they get a little thight. The only reason you should dislike this shoe is if you are a poser who is trying to steal the image of an outdoor athlete by buying the product and selling out. Sucks to you, props to the shoe. New Balance kicks.

Tue Oct 24 2000These new shoes are what college students need. Comfortable. They fit perfect but still have room to let your socks air out. They feel like you're stepping on feathers.

Fri Oct 20 2000I have taken this shoe backpacking and it held up great. I use it for manual labor and the only complaint is the toe of the shoe breaks down fast.

Mon Oct 16 2000New Balance has come out with a great product. The 803 shoe is very comfortable, which makes me enjoy running. Also their colors are classy which makes them very cool. I haven't found anything wrong with these shoes. And the price, I beleive, is pretty reasonable.

Mon Oct 16 2000I like these shoes because of the style and comfort. I like the way they look with other clothes. I like them because they have baby shoes too. They could use more colors.

Mon Oct 16 2000These shoes are good, they offer support and are fairly durable. They also don't have sweatshops. The only reason this got a 4 is because Nike is the best.

Thu Oct 05 2000These shoes are very cool. They are also really comfortable for running or just chilling. But the backs, near where your ankle goes, tend to rub and come apart.

Fri Sep 01 2000Although not as comfortable as the discontinued 802 model, the 803 makes a descent replacement. The large black toe cover makes you think about really moving on to a whole new style altogether, but is not as bad as it looks. The 803 does however gain points when it comes to cleaning. It's much easier to clean and do look new longer. Although satisfied, I doubt I'll stay with a similar model next time I go shoe shopping.

Sun Aug 13 2000This is a great trail shoe. Very comfortable and stylish. If you liked the 802 or even the older 801, go for this shoe. You won't be disappointed.

Sun Aug 13 2000The shoe looks great, the stitching is strong, and it is a medium fitting width. However, the arch is very far forward compared with other leading brands.

Fri Aug 11 2000The shoe is very comfortable to walk around in. It's a little clunky for on-road use, but it is supportive enough for trails. The style is pretty decent, but the 702's are better to my eye. I also like New Balance's efforts to make shoes in the usa.

Sun Jul 16 2000These shoes are good quality and will last you a while. They are great for a wide variety of activities.

Thu Jul 13 2000I used to like them, but then every person in the world seemed to buy them. They're very common these days, and they give good support when doing exercise.

Thu Jul 13 2000Ever since New Balance came out with their new styles, I have bought them consistently. It's a plus that it's "all-terrain." I really like the styles and shoelaces, plus they have a good affordable price. The only negative is that they are not as comfortable to run in as Nikes.

Wed Jul 05 2000The New Balance 803 received a 5 because they are comfortable, long lasting, and keep my feet in ecastasy all day. These are my favorite pair of shoes and I will wear them for a long long time. If they wear out, which I doubt they will, I would definately buy another pair. Also, they look sharp.

Wed Jul 05 2000Running shoes are so hard to find. Our feet is so important. Our feet is the most important part of our body. New Balance 803 are easy to run in and it goes for a good price.

Wed Jun 28 2000I love New Balance. They are by far the most comfortable shoe I've purchased. I've gone hiking, running, and backpacking through the woods, and they remain sturdy and comfortable. I am buying another pair.

Mon Jun 26 2000They look nice, but are actually kind of heavy. These shoes really support you feet in stride.
by supe7879om
Mon Jun 26 2000Durable, attractive, good support, comfortable, and has good traction.

Sun Jun 25 2000I own a pair of these shoes right now. I feel that this is one of the best pair of shoes I own. It has great support and incredible trend. The construction of the sole is amazing. The sole is so sturdy that the tread lasts for a very long time. The only drawback is that the shoe has poor ventilation.
by dtkw7834du
Sun Jun 25 2000Great shoe. Not only is it durable, but it is one of the most comfortable shoes out on the market. Most importantly, they don't cause any pain in the feet or knees after lengthy runs.
by vjro7556du
Tue Jun 20 2000All recent New Balance models have been influenced by the trendiness they are gaining. While they are still relatively supportive and comfortable, the company seems to be selling to those who are not runners and will just wear the shoes as a trend more and more.

Sun Jun 18 2000Comfortable and stylish shoes. They are durable and great shoes.
by mard7474du
Sat Jun 17 2000I have had my New Balance running shoes for almost a year now. I have gotten millions of compliments on them. They make for a great running shoe and a cute shoe to just wear around. They are extremely comfortable once broken in. They did give me blisters at first though. Oh well.
by itsm7464om
Sat Jun 17 2000I don't like the black tip because it makes the foot appear too long.
by dspa7457om
Fri Jun 16 2000Comfortable, nice look, but they don't last long. They're not durable.
by jjon7263om
Thu Jun 08 2000I tried these on, but I didn't buy them. The look was the same as most other shoes. The shoe felt good on my foot and they didn't hurt. It gave my arch the necessary lift it needed.

Tue Jun 06 2000Great style...look good for all purposes.

Tue Jun 06 2000I like the feel of these shoes when I run. They also look good too.
by nook7166om
Tue Jun 06 2000I had a pair of 803's, but I lost them. I bought them because of their color, but they weren't that comfortable, and after everybody started buying them. They are getting too comercialized and that is why I am glad I lost them.
by lis77144om
Mon Jun 05 2000The New Balance 803's are a stylish and attractive shoe. They are very comfortable and casual. The only problem is they look too much like the 801's and the 802's. I also really like the 802's.
by ksae7129du
Mon Jun 05 2000These are by far the worst pair of running shoes I have ever bought. They give me no comfort whatsoever. It seems to me that they are more for style than for running. They hurt, especially on the top of my feet where the shoelaces bind. I have tried loosening the laces, but it doesn't work.
by bigs7097om
Sat Jun 03 2000These are the most comfortable shoes on the market. Whether it is for running or casual wear, they are a top notch shoe.
by vndr7047om
Thu Jun 01 2000This is another New Balance shoe that I love. Again, this shoe takes a while to break in, but the design is beautiful and the colors they offer are very appealing.
by scor7031om
Wed May 31 2000These shoes are cute and sporty. They also are very comfortable. They come with a lot of cushion and a variety of colors. They are always available too. And they are inexpensive.

Tue May 23 2000I like the way the 803's look, they're really popular these days. I've just never ran in them before, so I don't know how they perform.
by king6910om
Tue May 23 2000The shoes are comfortable and affordable. The style of the shoe looks really good. I also like the colors of the shoe. The design is good.
by hawa6855om
Mon May 22 2000These shoes are really comfortable but I mostly buy them for their looks. It's somewhat expensive though. I take the shoes everywhere I go like to the track, around school, and out on the town.

Wed May 17 2000These shoes are super comfortable. They come in a variety of colors. They can match a lot of clothes. These shoes are durable.
