I walk to work each day and back (5-6 miles per day) and to Mass on Sunday, and return (6 miles). These NB Postal shoes are just about the only shoes on the market that help me to do that. My feet are basically a podiatrist's nightmare – they're wide-sized with fallen arches and bunions. I've tried just about every other walking shoe company (including Rockport) and this specific shoe from New Balance has all of the components I need to keep me "on my feet." I am on my feet full-time because I do not own a car so whether I am walking to work, to church, or hauling groceries back and forth, this shoe provides comfort. I never had to "break in" these shoes. The soft upper gives my bunions room so I have never experienced blisters with this style. The only other shoe that has been as comfortable as these was a European walking shoe that I purchased from Naturalizer (via Zappos). But Naturalizer has since discontinued that model. It's true that the NB Postal shoe is not the most streamlined in appearance. However, when the goal is to get from point A to point B without aches, pain, rubbing or blisters, then looks are simply not important. Since I walk so much, the previous pair of shoes that I purchased lasted about 7 months. If you walk less than I do (and I imagine most people may), I am sure they would last longer.

Love my Postals -
I have a bunion and orthotics and work in an industrial setting for 12 hours a day. This makes it difficult to find a comfortable shoe, but NB Postals accommodate my orthotics and give my feet the support I need to make it through my shift.

Very good for stability -
Due to partial paralysis, have had trouble with walking for years, most recently right foot supinating - turning under - while I walk. Have been searching for a stable shoe with a wide enough sole to minimize this tendency. Bought these a few weeks ago and am very satisfied.

Looks good -
I was a little surprised to discover that New Balance had constructed a running shoe with stitching that ran right over my bunion! I have wide feet and buy New Balance because they are usually comfortable and true to width. While this style is true to width, I felt that there was little to no arch support and the stitching running over my bunion downright hurt the first time I wore the shoe. I have inserted an arch support and applied shoe stretch to the bunion area in hopes that the fit will improve. What I thought would be my first choice out of my closet has been my third or fourth. Being a teacher, I walk around the room a good part of the day so wearing the right shoes is imperative. So far this style has not lived up to the New Balance reputation.

Walking shoe -
OK walking shoe. Arch support barely sufficient and just enough cushion.

BEST WALKING SHOE -
I have been wearing New Balance for years. My foot doctor recommends them. I walk every day in complete comfort. I wear them with a custom orthotic and have plenty of room.

Ugly but Comfortable -
After nearly killing my feet walking around London on vacation - in what I THOUGHT were good casual shoes - I looked for a black walking shoe for my wide foot. This shoe is extremely roomy and comfortable. You can wear these for hours/miles and forget about your feet. I usually wear a 10C and the NB 10C was wide enough to wear with heavy socks. The sole is sturdy but not as bouncy or cushiony as my Nike running shoes. But, there is room to add an air pillow or gel insole. The only drawback: they are even uglier, clunkier, and bigger looking than their picture. But, when comfort is all that matters, this is the shoe.

 |  | Thank you!!! That's wonderful. My daughter has gym class on Thursday and I knew the shoes wouldn't get here in time, so I thought she would have to wear her current too tight shoes another week.Thanks to you all, she won't! We really appreciate it! Your company is terrific. Great products, great service, and a return policy that can't be beat. I always check Zappos first to see if I can get our shoes there. I only go elsewhere if you don't happen to have a particular style, which doesn't happen often! Now that you sell all white New Balance sneakers (and I love how well that brand fits and holds up), I know where I'm going to get all of my daughter's school shoes! You already had the Sperry dusty bucks (another great brand), but with Zappos selling both of her uniform shoes, we're set with Zappos. And you almost always have the sizes in stock, so I can buy the next two sizes for her, since her feet seem to grow so fast! Therefore I always have the next size ready for her. Thanks again! |  | ~ Lynn L., September 09 2008
