Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for New Balance.
New Balance began as a Boston-based arch support company in the early 1900s, developed into a specialized manufacturer of shoes in the 1970s, and has grown to become a leading global athletic products company. Today New Balance is a family of brands including New Balance, Dunham, PF Flyers, Aravon, Warrior and Brine.

Since the days of selling arch supports to police officers and waiters, New Balance has been a brand concerned with meeting the needs of the everyday athlete. In pursuing this goal, they developed an "Endorsed By No One" philosophy, which holds that a superior product will sell itself better than any superstar athlete ever could. Part of producing New Balance shoes and athletic clothing is manufacturing it to fit all widths and sizes, because a better fit produces better performance.

To ensure the best fitting, best performing shoes and clothes, New Balance focuses on improving their technology and production methods. A big part of that is maintaining five manufacturing facilities here in the United States where they continue to produce New Balance shoes and apparel that meet the standards they've employed for 100 years. They have also remained committed to a core set of values that include integrity, teamwork and total customer satisfaction.

My husband, who is very choosy, loved these as soon as he put them on. He said they were much more comfortable than other more expensive walking shoes he has purchased in the past. He has only worn them a few times, but says there is no break-in period, they are that comfortable. We both like the idea that the tan color will go with both casual pants and shorts, and he won't be limited to the usual white color. (My husband won't buy white athletic shoes--he doesn't want to worry about them getting dirty!) Overall, a great casual walking shoe, especially for those who need a wider width shoe.

These shoes are way too mushy. No performance in them at all. They are only comfortable if you go at a slow plod. Step with any speed and they fail miserably and hurt your feet. Pathetic. These shoes may be good for old diabetic men, but if you want a walking shoe that is comfortable and responsive to a healthy person then I would rate this shoe at 1 star. They are good if you are just standing or moving at turtle speed. These shoes are for 80 year olds or the infirm.

I bought these shoes for my husband to replace a pair of 811 that I accidentally gave away. As the 811 is no longer available and the 812s looked similar, I ordered the 812s. My husband wore them to work (without breaking them in around the house at my suggestion), and after a full day on his feet, said they felt great (his feet and the shoes!) I am going to order a brown pair, too!

The first pair were a bit tight, but Zappos took fast care of my problem. The New Balance MW812 is a great shoe.
