Wonderful!
First a note on service - I ordered these shoes yesterday evening, and they arrived today! Wow! Fast, wonderful service.
Now the shoe -- this is actually my second pair of WR873s. I run/walk on and off road every day and decided to give these a try at the beginning of this year. I was able to wear them right out of the box and they felt like a dream! This second pair is no different. This is the first time I've ever reordered the exact same style of shoe, but these are great and my only concern is that the style will be discontinued!
These shoes did well both on the road and on the trail. Very comfortable and very stable, plenty of room in the toe box, good traction. The mesh upper does a great job of keeping my feet cool and the shoes really do dry amazingly fast. I am pretty flat-footed and many types of shoes cause my feet to cramp up, but I had absolutely no problem with these shoes.
Cannot recommend these shoes enough. I've already bought them twice and will happily buy them again.

Very cool trail runner!
This is the perfect warm-weather, low-profile trail running shoe! Very lightweight and air flows freely through the mesh foot. The laces are ridged so they don't slip, and the N lock system helps cinch my heel into the shoe, without crunching down my instep or my toes (which are Protected by a nice plastic bumper. The traction is grippy and sure. The width is normal-to-a-bit-narrow, and I sized up a 1/2 size (or a whole size if you wear orthotics) per the general practice for running shoes - definitely glad I did that. My only concern is that the foot cushioning feels a hair thin and I hope it holds up - I want these shoes to last! An excellent design by New Balance. Well done!

Great Addition to NB Line Up -
I love this shoe. It's wide enough for orthotics and it's probably the most comfortable shoe I own. If I'm going to be on my feet all day, this is the shoe I wear! It's a great color combo too...love the orange trim! I would definitely buy this shoe again if it came in different color options. It doesn't run as "small" as other NB shoes, but I still sized up from a 7.5 to the 8 to enjoy the extra toe room. It doesn't feel like it's a half size smaller, but maybe that's because it's fairly wide and accommodating in the width.

Looks great, but too narrow -
I usually wear 5.5 EE in New Balance shoes, and I bought this pair because I love the way they look. Unfortunately, they are much narrower than other NB double E shoes. I had to send them back because they would not lace over my foot. The W992 style fits wide feet better but are not nearly so stylish.

Comfort -
Some running shoes do not support the ball of my foot; during and after a run, they hurt. These shoes are great. I trained for and ran the Army 10-miler in these shoes and my feet did not hurt.

Yeah!
Plenty of toe room and the heel doesn't slip! The shoes are well-made and are very comfortable. I buy a half size up from my regular size in this brand. I am very pleased and Zappos service is the best!

Best shoe ever -
I bought this shoe due to the reviews posted on your website and your description of the shoe. I checked excellent arch support as the shoe has this with my orthotics in the shoe. This is the only shoe I have ever been able to wear all day long--I'm in the over 65 group. In the Amazon rain forest I never slipped or lost my footing. The shoes dried quickly and were great to wear even if they weren't dry. Again, at Macchu Picchu I had no difficulty in hiking or walking over rough terrain. Everyone loves the turquoise color.

I’m very pleased with the detail, design and lightweight design of this sneaker. Although I use it mainly for exercise, they are stylish enough to be worn with a casual outfit. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!

Stylish Wide Shoe -
This one has a lot of room in the toe box for wide feet, yet fits in the heel. The overall design is very stylish. The blue with orange trim was a bit bright and took some getting used to. It could have used a bit more arch support, but overall, a good walking shoe for wide feet. Strangely, several other styles by New Balance that I ordered at the same time felt shorter in length - this one felt about 1/4 size larger than an 8 1/2.

Love these shoes and Made in USA. They are available in wide. They are unbelievably comfortable – like slippers, lots of room in toe box. I run regularly, but only 12-15 miles/week.

I ordered a WW in this shoe and unlike other sneakers I ordered in the same size, this shoe gave me lots of toes space and comfort...along with lots of urban style. I would buy this shoe again.

Good for WW feet -
I have a small, wide foot (6 1/2 EE) & I finally found a sneaker that fits me…though it is a little long (ordered a 7 for toe room)...should have ordered true-to-size. I wish there were better color choices (I prefer an all-white shoe).

Wife loves them -
After hiking at Mount Rainier National Park with my MR873 shoes, I bought a pair of WR873's for my wife who was slipping and sliding around in her old Adidas. After 17+ years of marriage, I know the risks involved in buying shoes sight unseen but she loves these shoes for both wilderness hikes and walks around town. The grey/orange color scheme is sharp looking (better than the men's version frankly) and looks smart as a casual shoe about town. Great way to score points with one's spouse.

New Balance does it again!
I'm a New Balance junkie, but this latest pair is simply fantastic! I have plantar fasciitis, so finding a shoes I can run and hike in for long periods can be really difficult. This shoes is the perfect balance of cushion and support. My only complaint is that it makes my foot look a little long even though the shoe is super cute. Small price to pay for this kind of comfort!

Features galore -
The shoe seems a bit clunky looking, but it is really very streamlined. It has good lateral support, and several features which are labeled directly on the shoe, like the toe protector, aeration for quick cooling, and comfortable tread. It also has shoelaces that stay where you tighten them because of clever wavy design. This is a good cross-training shoe and I intend to use it for light jogging and aerobic kick-boxing.

This shoe is extremely comfortable and light. Takes time to get used to the weight it feels like you have nothing on your feet. NB does a great job of fit. I have the shoe in wide and a girl I work with has it in regular and we both feel that the shoe fits well am ordering my second pair. I have them in navy blue and pink and I get tons of compliments. Love this shoe and love Zappos.

Love these shoes!
I bought these a couple of weeks ago and they didn't need any breaking in. The most comfortable sneaker I've found. I wear them during workouts and walked a 14 mile trail with total comfort. The upper portion of the shoe is mesh and really helps keep me feet cool. I took a chance and ordered I size smaller than my previous New Balances due to supply and they still fit great. Thanks Zappos for your ongoing excellent service and quick shipping.

 |  | Even though I've been shopping with you for years, and have said this before, I just wanted to tell you again how stellar your customer service is. In all stages of the process, orders are processed quickly and correctly, and each time I shop, the service never lacks. Your warehouse team rocks - they work so hard to fulfill orders! And, that I always seem to get upgraded to overnight service is wonderful. I know that you don't have to do this, and am just so appreciative. It's the next best thing to being physically in your warehouse buying all your
stock. Thanks so much, again! |  | ~ , August 06 2008
