844 new balance walk shoe -
I have 843, an excellent shoe with good support, which is worn out and it's "replacement 844 8 1/2 w...which does not have as good support or comfort as 843...I purchased 844 9w to see if it was the size, not the support...844 9w actually has less support than 8 1/2 W, which makes me believe it was made in china...as most of their shoes do not run equal to our American sizes...It is barely ok for walking...surely, not ok for any heavy duty walking, such as travel. I had to pad the heel as it was too loose and the tongue...same reason, which was odd as the other shoe was fine in the heel and front. I can imagine a slight difference in 1/2 size...but this was more than slight...it will do with heavier socks...but certainly not the best shoe I have ever had...too bad. I now need to look for a better walking shoe as I do a lot of walking!

I've been wearing these New Balance shoes for quite some time. The shoe that I started with has been improved a few times. Zappos finds the equivalent model and that's the one I purchase. It's a great walking shoe.

Super comfortable - I've been wearing this New Balance WW844 for the past year, and this pair I just ordered from you was because the other pair was breaking down. I walk a lot and go through about three pair a year. I've been wearing New Balance sneakers for about ten years, their sneakers come in wide widths and have always been comfortable and look good. This sneaker has the Breast Cancer ribbon on the tongue showing New Balance supports the ACS. I'm a Breast Cancer survivor.

BEST walking shoe ever! My old New Balance shoes finally wore out (6 years of heavy wear later) and the WW844 is the new version. I loved those shoes, and I love these! A supremely comfortable walking shoe that you can wear and wear and wear. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone who does a serious amount of walking. They're not much to look at, but they are fabulous in every other way!

Best support shoe for walking or long-term standing -
I've tried other New Balance styles but this is by far the best for comfort. I do a lot of standing (6 hours +) and find that there is great support for my arch and very good cushion support. I use the black ones for work and I also bought a white pair to use on the treadmill. These are not my first pair of New Balance. I have a flat foot with no arch so these give me the support I need.

I think New Balance 843 felt better on your feet. The back of the heel is too low. Could be a thicker sole and a better arch support.

My fave walking shoe -
This is my favorite walking shoe and I'm glad they have not discontinued it. It is the perfect support (I walk 3-4 miles each day) and super comfortable.

Replacing the 843 -
NB made a mistake by replacing the 843. This shoe is definitely not an improvement! I have purchased and worn 843s for approximately 6 years, buying 3 to 4 pair annually from a variety of sources and the 844 doesn't compare for comfort or support. It's stiff and uncomfortable. I feel fortunate to have been able to locate 3 pair of 843s in my size. I don't know what I'll do when they're gone!

Like walking on air.
I love these shoes. I have worn New Balance for a long time but the 844's are exceptional. They are truly like walking on air. I try to walk 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 miles each day. These shoes make it a joy. I have a short, wide foot. The shoes look a little boxy but for me the comfort far outweighs the fashion aspect. Great shoe. Well worth the money.

The most comfortable, no need to break in, get up and go shoe ever. Perfect for orthotics too. This is my new favorite shoe and I will buy these again! I used to wear New Balance 926-they were very heavy and orthopedic looking and I had problems with them coming apart. I would recommend these to any one.

Nice looking sneaker -
My mom loves these shoes. I tried them for myself, and unfortunately, they don't work for me. I have a very, very difficult time finding shoes that work for me. Very sensitive, hurting feet. Wish New Balance hadn't quit making the 925's!!!

My favorite shoe!
I love this shoe... I have purchased several pair over the years. This was my first time to order from Zappos. I usually purchase in a shoe store. I found I needed to order a half size larger than I have previously bought in this shoe. Zappos’ price was lower on the shoe and the quick service was fantastic! I'll use Zappos again!

Great shoe after breaking them in -
These gave me blisters on my heels. I really liked the way the feel when walking though because they have great support. If you are to buy these, I'd recommend doing short walks until you feel they are broken in.

Comfortable walking shoe -
Ordered a half-size larger than usual shoe size for toe box room. Very comfortable and pretty supportive without feeling heavy or confining; no break in required (just wore for the second time on a 5K walk this weekend and they felt great). Not the coolest-looking shoe (the white ones look a little like nursing shoes) but I didn't buy these for looks.

No arch support, unflattering shoe -
This shoe is quite different from the 843 which it replaced! The colors and materials are the same, but the overall look is much less attractive and most important to me, there is practically no arch support! While still a comfortable shoe, one which is made specifically for walking should definitely have adequate arch support! Bring back the 843 - it's an infinitely better quality shoe.

New Balance 844 -
These are the best walkers I have ever owned. I have a narrow heel and a wider fore foot and these are the only shoes I can wear without band-aids on my heels.

4 miles per day -
This is the New Balance shoe I have been searching for! It has the same immediate comfort with no break in period of all NB shoes. However, it has the support that is needed to walk on cement for up to 30 miles per week. Well worth the price!

NB844 -
I've had NB before and love the wider toe box. I did not feel the 844 had as much arch support as the 843's, so I have to wear an insert with these. Also, there is some difficulty w/seam placement on the back of the ankle, it digs and causes severe blister, however w/the arch support it has provided the lift to alleviate that problem. Order 1/2 size bigger! Happy walking.

Best walkers for wide feet -
The New Balance 844 comes in multiple widths and provides room for toes to move about. I ordered a "D" width. Good for walking and running on the treadmill, walking on cobblestones and during a general workout...and it is made in the USA! Shoe runs short so order a half size larger than other athletic shoes, full size larger than regular shoe size. I have tried other athletic shoes but keep coming back to this one. I have one in white for the gym and one in black for vacations/travel.

Great shoes for those who have foot problems!
The New Balance WW844 is one of the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. I wear an 11 Wide. It is difficult to even find a good pair of walking shoes in my size, let alone one that is really comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and have problems with one of my favorite forms of exercise-walking. When I wear these shoes with my inserts, I don't feel any pain when I walk. I recommend these shoes for anyone with a foot problem like mine. It doesn't feel uncomfortable; however, there doesn't seem to be much toe room. Next time I think I will order a half size larger. It's wonderful to be able to have that option. On top of everything else, Zappos upgraded my shipping choice just to say thank you. So, I received my shoes quicker than expected. What a company!

First tried 11AA –Definitely too short. Unfortunately with an 11 the next size is a 12.Got a 12AA in white. Amazingly they do not look like canal boats. Shoe style quite attractive for this type shoe in large sizes. A tad long but O.K. to wear.

WW844 -
Great comfort and fit, especially suggested as I have plantar fasciitis. Will continue to order it (or its next generation as I understand this model WW844 is being discontinued).

 |  | ZAPPOS you’re my only friend!!
Based on the many experiences I’ve had with buying things online, I can honestly say that ZAPPOS.COM is by far the best experience I have ever had!!! Quality of the product, representation of what you are buying, and delivery is unparalleled by any other online service. Follow up customer satisfaction is amazing. I never thought an online business could ever be more helpful. Zappos.com makes online purchasing a breeze, and I know I will receive exactly what I ordered. The box is not a mystery; it's not crossing your fingers 'hoping' you are getting what you ordered. I know when the delivery truck shows up, usually faster than expected, there are no doubts about whether or not it is what I ordered, both size and style... Thank you Zappos for being the best online shopping experience anyone could ask for. It’s so good, the local businesses had better be nervous!! Thank you again. |  | ~ , August 12 2008
