These shoes were recommended for my feet by my Physical Therapist, because I was suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis in both feet. Wonderful fit, and support, and the price was right for this incredibly high-quality shoe. I just couldn’t believe how fast the shipment was, too! Thanks Zappos!

Shoes arrived promptly, as usual - they are great, fit terrific, and provide excellent support to my extremely flat foot. I would recommend them to anyone.

The best sneakers I\'ve ever owned. Corrected the instability that I didn\'t realize was affecting me so badly. I\'m able to do aerobics classes, jog, walk, and other physical activities from a solid base and I\'ve seen immediate improvement. In the past, I was discouraged because I used to struggle so hard just to maintain proper form. Highly recommend trying these shoes if you have had similar experiences. So grateful to Zappos for the search capabilities that helped me to locate them, never would have found them in a store and understood how different they were from other shoes available.

I previously purchased the WR1011 model and now the WR1012. I love these shoes, very comfortable and lots of support. Hoping New Balance comes up with more colors.

Bought in January. I wanted a well fitting shoe for walking/jogging with my dog. The stabilization feature is fantastic, and keeps my foot in correct alignment. I work in an ER and on the move 8 to 10 hours at a time. Nothing aches the next day so I'm ordering another pair so I can wear one outside, one at work. Only thing, I found I needed 1/2 size larger. They're great.

This is my 3rd pair of New Balance sneakers. I recommend NB because they are true to their word and their sneakers are awesome, comfortable, and I no longer have pain in my knees when I wear their sneakers! Zappos is awesome! I wish other sites would take lessons from Zappos regarding ordering and shipping policies!

These are great shoes: very comfortable, and they come in 2E. If you have wide feet with any problems (like bunions) these will make walking feel good again. But be warned! These shoes run big. I take an 8 in keens, a 7 1/2 in Brooks, and usually a 7 in wide New Balance. But in the 1012, a 6-1/2 was the correct fit. Unfortunately, I bought and wore a 7. Too big, and I wore them outside. So, those will be winter wear with heavy socks.
Brands I'd also recommend: Brooks, Keens, Asics

I normally wear a wide or extra wide and this shoe was very sturdy and comfortable in the wide width. I would love to see this shoe in a dark color.

NB WR1012 are great shoes they fit with room so my feet aren't squished. There is good padding on my heels.

Wonderful shoe! Well worth the money. I've been dealing with knee issues for almost 20 years and have tried numerous different shoes and orthotics. While my knee pain isn't gone, my knee feels so much more stable in these shoes. I pronate, so the stabilizing bars are fabulous. These are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I recommend them highly.

I have been wearing New Balance sneakers for the last 6 years. These are most definitely the best New Balance sneakers I have ever owned! The support is incredible and the fit is perfect! Once you start wearing New Balance shoes you will never switch to another brand!

I am a faithful New Balance customer and not surprisingly, I found another NB shoe that I love. My feet are long and wide and this shoe was an excellent fit. Maybe a bit lose in the heel, but I will try retying them. Tried them out on a six mile walk and they were great.

These are the best shoes! I know they are a little pricey, but they are perfect for severe over pronators like myself. My favorite style, the 1010, finally got retired, but the 1012 jumped in its place perfectly. Good fit, true to size, hardly any break in time! These are totally worth it!

I got these after trying a few other brands. They seem stiff and after a month on the treadmill 5 miles per day they haven't loosened up. There is plenty of room in the toe box.

These sneakers are the updated version of WR1011. I will only buy New Balance because of their SL-2 last, which fits me perfectly: great support for my narrow heels, flat and arthritic feet. I could walk in them forever.

After ordering several shoes I found the New B. WR1012 to be the best for my orthotics. The toe is boxy enough to where it does not rub on my hammer toe. The soles are not squishy however they are great for people with knee problems. My knees feel much better since I have started wearing this shoe.

I really like these very comfortable shoes. I am on my feet all day and they are very light. They come in wide widths which are usually hard to find. I would get a half size larger next time. Overall, I love these shoes!

I have severe over-pronation and these shoes brought great relief to my sore feet. Their structure keeps my feet in a good position. My orthotics fit in nicely. I especially like the nice roomy toebox; and the laces have a new type of texturing that keeps them from getting loose. With all their added structure and support, they still look stylish too.
