Love this shoe! The size (11D in Womens) fit perfect for me as always with New Balance running shoes. It feels great and is very supportive. My orthotics fit with no problems. I loved the color as purple is my favorite!

New Balance Sneakers - I purchased these shoes as my previous pair of sneakers were New Balance and the model number was almost identical so I figured this was the next version of the same shoe. I purchased the previous pair at a New Balance store and they lasted over a year with intense exercise so I'm hoping these do as well. They are a great fit for folks with a regular width who want a good bit of cushion but some stability as well. I particularly like how they look, and they have mesh which helps keep feet from overheating. I do some running but mostly walking, different aerobics classes, cardio dance, etc. and these are very versatile. For someone looking for a pure running shoe, you might want to try a shoe that's slightly lighter and certainly someone with specific foot issues should go to a running store to be fit. I love using Zappos because since I was looking to buy the next version of the model I had and did not have time to go back to the NB store.

Great shoe! I love New Balance for my neutral "gym" shoes. This shoe is very comfortable and true to size. The colors of the new "model" are so much more appealing than the peach/kelly green from last year!

Shoe lacks stamina - I was highly anticipating this shoe and after about a month of walking in them, it felt like I was walking on cardboard! The support and cushioning in the forefoot definitely did not last as long as this shoe should have. I am going to return them and get something a little sturdier. Very stylish shoe though!

A pricey bad decision - ...I have already changed the shoe laces to the regular ones that glide for easy access to take off and on. They don't slip, but hey...that feature was just not needed...They are comparable to other New Balance shoes I have purchased for less money...the only benefit to me was they came in a narrow...the purple color is really nice, they do look good!

Love these. Been looking for a replacement for the Asics Nimbus 9 (version 10 has a crazy lace thing going on that stinks). Anyway, I tried Asics Kinetic, Saucony Triumph, Mizuno and on and on. These are the best ride yet.

Just received these shoes. I ordered half size larger than normal and wide width. It's a winner! I have such a hard time finding comfy shoes. There is plenty of cushion on the soles and the toe box is wide enough. Also the shoe doesn't seem stiff, so should be good for me.

Great! I run a lot of miles a week, and I just couldn’t find the right shoe. I've been through Mizuno's and Asics, so now tried the New Balance WR1063's and I love them! They look great and fit great. I usually wear a size 9 but it was a tad big. By the way, I ordered these shoes on a Saturday and with the free shipping, they were here by Monday afternoon!! So I called to get an 8.5 size and they sent me the new size the next day!! They fit perfect. I sent off the bigger size back for free also. I would recommend these shoes to anyone & I would definitely recommend Zappos to anyone, it's the only place I shop for shoes! Thanks!

My foot type is: Wide and completely flat (no arch at all) with a very narrow heel. This shoe is very true to size and accommodates orthotics perfectly. Some ppl may say it doesn't have enough arch support but for my foot this works great! With my foot I have 2 probs with this shoe: 1. Heel does not fit as snug as I'd like. 2. For some reason these are not very easy to run in. They are GREAT for standing 8 hours a day on cement which is the main reason I got them so happy w/ that but I am going to buy another pair as my runners...Also the toe box is great w/ plenty of room and for someone w/ bunions this shoe would be great because there is just the fabric in that spot. Overall certainly will buy again for a work shoe/standing for long periods shoe...only reason I gave overall 4 star is due to it not working for both standing and running but maybe that doesn't exist??

I LOVE this shoe. I started out with the 1060 (made the change from another NB shoe) and have worked my way up in the past few years. They keep getting better and better. I hated giving up my 1062s UNTIL I put these on my feet. Perfect amount of cushioning for me - I'm ramping up, so my longer runs hit right at an hour now - and since I'm a terrible supinator, I really feel, and appreciate the support, it gives. I like the fact that this shoe breathes a bit so my feet don't get too tight, and for someone with narrower feet, I can tie the laces tightly enough which has been a problem with other shoes I've tried. If you've tried (and loved) the 1062, this will be a good choice.
