- "We believe most consumers think "Made in USA" means that real manufacturing jobs were provided to U.S. workers in order to make that product. The shoes produced in our U.S. factories are made by U.S. workers using both U.S. and imported materials. Where the level of domestic value is at least 70%, we have labeled the shoe "Made in USA." Where it falls below that level, we have qualified it as containing both domestic and imported materials. This determination is based in part on a survey of consumers conducted by the FTC." --New Balance Inc.

I absolutely love these shoes!!! I always buy New Balance and thought I would try a different style. These shoes have all the support I want and need in a lighter weight shoe. Wonderful!!!

True to size, I could use narrower in the ankle, but I just tie them tighter! If you have bunions, the inside seam hit right over them (that is why I chose the extra width. I could also use more arch support. However the amount is normal to most new balance shoes, so let that be your guide.

This shoe I purchased in black for the specific purpose of marching in the Purdue University All-American Alumni Band at the Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade and 500 Race this year, and for rigorous Homecoming performances by the alumni band. My old marching shoes were not stable or supportive enough, and I've always liked the New Balance features. I didn't want a klunky-looking walking shoe; these are nicely tailored. Right out of the box they were perfect for my 58-yr-old 8.5 narrow feet. The size and width were right-on and my orthotics fit perfectly in these shoes. I then ordered a pair for my 89-yr-old mother who has severe osteoporosis and needs much stability. She loves them too and talks about how they 'hold her up.'
(P.S. -- At the 500 weekend marching events another gal with whom I marched ALSO had the identical New Balance shoe!) Thank you New Balance and thank you ZAPPOS for easy ordering and for the super people you have taking our phone calls--they are extremely helpful and polite!

I have been wearing this style (811) for 12-15 years now. When I find a shoe that fits, I stick with it! It is the first shoe I've found that gives me plenty of toe room. I find it very comfortable on my extra wide (EE) feet and it has great support if you have to be on your feet a lot. I find it true to size.

These are my every day reliable shoes. I have kept ordering them over several years. They always fit, and they are always comfortable from day one. Not the sexiest shoes going, but not bad-looking either. They have the good features of athletic walking shoes, but can be worn with nice slacks in casual situations. My feet are flat and I need orthotics, which fit well in these shoes.

Zappos is a life saver! My home-bound Mom badly needed new shoes and these New Balance were what her Doctor recommended. I sent a few different pairs and sizes for her to try, but she loved these the best. They are roomy in the toe box, great support to the arches, and a good snug, adjustable heel-fit with the laces. She couldn’t be happier and I couldn’t be more grateful for the super-fast, easy-return service! (She had me order another pair in black.) Thank you Zappos. I was able to shop for my Florida Mom from my home in Brooklyn. I can’t tell you what a comfort it is to be able to take care of her from afar through your great store.

Fabulous for diabetics & problem feet -
Roomy toebox, very comfortable all day long, even for someone with two foot surgeries who has suffered from Charcot Foot. Try these - you won't be sorry - and you may never want to take them off! I use Spenco insoles in them, but I think there is room for an arch support for the average person.

New Balance Walking Shoe -
I have another pair and they hold up real well. I am a mail carrier and these have lasted me. The only problem I have is they are rubbing on my little toe. I have a lot of feet problems so it is probably my feet and not the shoe.

I find this shoe too heavy and tiring. The sole also adds length making it difficult for me to get out of my car. It's just too much shoe for me.
Let's also consider the fact that I am over 70 and hampered by RA. I won't buy another pair.
Why can't we have a lightweight shoe with support?

Most comfortable shoe I have ever worn -
This is the 15th pair of New Balance 811's that I have bought. They are soooo comfortable. I never have to break them in. I wear orthotics and they work perfectly with them. I just wear a half size larger than usual to accommodate the orthotic. I like the extra hole at the top of for the laces that make the shoe tighter so they don't slip with the orthotic in them.

The NB 811 shoes are an excellent shoe!
I have extreme problems with my feet and back. I use a custom orthotic in these shoes at all times and I am extremely pleased with them. I have had 4 pairs of them now, being as they are the only shoes that work for me. They last very well, are very comfortable & a very good value.

Need more time -
Shoe feels slightly snug on my left foot. Broke bones in my right foot just before shoes arrived and have not been able to try on. Am waiting for swelling to go down to determine fit but may need 1/2 size larger.

Made in America!
Made in America! YES!! I also have this shoe in white, and love both pairs. I've been buying New Balance shoes for years and have never been disappointed. I have a hard to fit wide foot, and these shoes never fail me.

Great for narrow feet!
I have always been on the search for narrow casual walking shoes. These come in a 4a(!). They do fit a 4a foot. My only knock against these shoes is a lack of arch support (I have flat feet as well) and a wimpy insole. I think I can resolve both issues with a replacement insole.

Comfort shoes -
This is my second pair of 811 shoes; I work at a job where I have to stand for 8 1/2hrs on weekends. I am 68 retired and chose to work part time as a cashier. I was having trouble with my feet and back, but someone told me to try these shoes. They have been the answer to my problems. They are very roomy, light weight and fit very comfortably. They also look very good, has great style. We have to wear black, being a woman I needed a pair of white ones for everyday, I did not think twice about ordering the same shoe as the black. All I have to say is I hope you never change anything about this shoes it is perfect just as it is. I will always buy this shoe as long as I need them and you make them. LR

Good shoe, but not for me -
I had worn New Balance athletic shoes in the past, so thought I would try them again. They are styled a bit more to my liking than the Brooks Addictions that I wear, but these are much too big on the heel for me. If I didn't tie them uncomfortably tight, I would step right out of them. So back they went. I wear an 8 EE and have a high arch and bunions, so my feet are tough to fit.

Rescue -
When I heard of Zappos I thought Yeah right but the shipping was terrific and the shoes were as written and reviewed. At first I was concerned but after a few days the shoes are perfect. I wear an orthotic device and my toe span was killing me. After adjusting to the new shoes (a size bigger since I have the orthotic in) it has been great! Thanks for the advice!

Finally, a walking shoe that fits my feet!
I have crooked toes and need lots of toe room in a shoe. This shoe allows the room that I need. And it looks nice with slacks too. My daughter remarked, "They look cute". I will be buying them in white too.

SUPERB WALKING SHOE -
I have one of the hardest feet to fit... narrow, thin... AND no arch. I am impressed with any shoe that fits perfectly "right off the bat"... plenty of toe room, just the right width from the get go… and this shoe definitely fits the bill! If I didn't have so many walking shoes, I'd buy another pair.
