This shoe prevented surgery.
When I started working out, I had no idea about shoes, so I got the wrong ones. A year later, I had a painful neuroma between my 2nd and 3rd metatarsals and a bunion. A podiatrist wanted to cut on the bunion, but he seemed uncertain about why the inside of my foot hurt so badly. An orthopedic surgeon explained I had been "power walking" in a walking shoe instead of a
running shoe or cross trainer. The overly flexible sole allowed too much bending in the foot. He recommended
Saucony or
New Balance. Since only
New Balance came in my tugboat width, I bought a pair of these. Now, I can walk for miles without pain. I'm stuck with the bunion, however.

Finally a
sneaker that fits me!!!!!
Please do not stop carrying e to eeee width shoes for women! I bought 2 pairs of these
sneakers. One I can wear with a heavy sock and/or insert and one with a thin sock. For years I have been searching for a
sneaker in an e to ee width. FORGET ANY RETAIL STORE! Even other internet
shoe stores. You are very
lucky to even find there so called "Wide Width Of D" which is too, too narrow for my foot. Apparantely these stores claim they can't even special order
e's for you. I was doing serious damage to my feet from wearing these D widths in a size which was to big for my foot. (to compensate for the width problem) A chiropractor said this is the reason my feet always hurt and I was damaging ligaments and tendons in my legs. Thank you So much!!!!!!!!!!!!

587's are the best!
I have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and must wear a UCBL (a very large orthodic) in my shoes due to severe deformity and supination. I searched for any shoe to accommodate this UCBL, to no avail, including
SAS and
PW Minor. No luck! They weren't wide enough (a "D" is NOT wide) or deep enough. But then I found the
New Balance 587's! The UCBL fits in them perfectly, they are stable, and they come in E widths! Hurrah! Wonderful shoe for any of you suffering from Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease or wear a UCBL!!! Hint: Buy a size larger if you're wearing a UCBL.

I loved this shoe
These are the best shoes I've ever tried. Most shoes, after only a week or two, would begin to cause my ankles to hurt. These shoes kept my foot and ankle straight, no pain at all. I will always buy them as long as they are available. Thank you so much for a great pair of shoes.

Tug-boat shoe -
I was very excited when I ordered this shoe, but was heart-broken by its 'dollar store' look. I could not believe they cost so much and looked like I was wearing a rubber mallet on my foot. It was comfortable to wear at first, then slowly became unbearable. But I'm optomistic about them, I am going to try a different style.

NB 587 -
The best fitting walker for my wide feet that I have found; no break in time, very comfortable, expensive and ugly.

A Great shoe for foot pain!
This shoe was recommended to me for heel pain. It is a very comfortable shoe and the pain in my foot subsided some as soon as I put them on. After a few hours it was almost completely gone. They look just fine and low-key, which I like. Also, the sole feels different than a thinner soled shoe, but isn't that what we're paying extra for, a decent sole? Anyhow, I am very happy with this shoe and feel that the price is right for the quality.

Very comfortable
running shoes for the overpronator -
These shoes have great motion control with a cushiony feel. The wide toe box makes this a very comfortable shoes from the very first step. I definitely recommend this shoe to women who need a good motion control
running shoe. Order a half size larger than you normally would if you use paddded
socks.

This is the only shoe I can wear -
I have crippled feet from two botched operations. My arch has
fallen and these are the only shoes I have found that I can walk in all day without pain. They keep my feet in a more normal position and the broader toe area is especially appreciated.

Light Weight but Solid Support -
This shoe has met my expectations. I wanted a light weight shoe, but I also want solid support for walking and jogging. They clean up nicely too. My dog got mud all over my shoes and they cleaned up nicely with mild soap and a rag.
