I have the MW926 in Black, Brown, and White. They\'re the best walking shoe I\'ve ever worn. I wear a 9.5 4E, and these are true to fit. I recommend them without reservation. I use them with Sole Ultra innersoles, and I can go all day on my feet. I also use them for walking around the city. These are the everyday shoes I pack for nonbusiness trips.

Good shoe. True to size and width. Very comfortable and good quality leather. This is the older discontinued model that has been replaced. I bought the last two pair Zappos had in brown my size. The newer model does not come in brown. Not the best looking shoe in brown, but not too bad either; looks decent with brown dress pants. Needed something to wear with my orthotics.

My husband has foot problems and this New Balance tennis shoe was recommended by his podiatrist. He has a pair of these shoes and is wearing them out so I was happy to find him a new pair on your site, and for less than I paid for the first pair. Great buy!

Most comfortable shoe in my 926 \\\'collection\\\' of shoes (I can only wear NB 926 because of a bad foot). I wear them to work, wear to church, wear to various club meetings. \\r\\n\\r\\nCan\\\'t say enough about the shoe. Very comfortable and fit like a glove.\\r\\n\\r\\n

Really like these shoes; very comfortable. I was looking for a pair to tour in Europe and finding shoes to wear all day is an issue with me. My brother-in-law told me about them, and I told my brother and a friend. Zappos price and delivery were excellent.

Very comfortable walking shoe. Nice support which is a plus as I walk about 5 miles per day on my job. The shoe felt true to size with plenty of toe room. Zappos does it again!

I purchased the shoes to walk two and a half miles six days a week. There was a short break in time, but after that they perform very well. The shoes offer good support and are very comfortable. I would purchase these shoes again.

These shoes are good walking shoes in original form, but I found adding aftermarket insoles greatly improved their comfort level especially regarding heel impacts. I have since installed New Balance insoles with Absorb in both the forefoot and heel. These insoles are expensive, but they are well worth the additional cost especially on longer walks over concrete sidewalks. These shoes look especially good in the brown color.

The MW926's are comfortable right out of the box. If you are a fan of New Balance, you know they are comfortable for a wider foot, and they are just what I need. I have slightly flat arches and usually use an orthotic arch support in my shoes. I have not had to with this pair. Pros: Comfort and classy. Cons: Cost.

This shoe was no longer in production by New Balance, however Zappos provided one! Their website was accurate, the correct size and color showed available, and they professionally full-filled the order. These walkers are essential in correcting improper posture and releived my back pain. Yippie for Zappos!

My husband loves the MW926. He has trouble with his heels and with these shoes he is able to wear them all day long without pain. The look is a little bulky but the comfort is great!! Highly recommend them. Zappos service is unbeatable. Ordered one day and received the shoes the following day!!!

Miracle shoe for extreme pronators! Since retiring from the military, it seems every job I get is one that keeps me on my feet all day. While getting my nursing prereqs, I worked mall security that entailed constant walking around the outside and inside of the mall. Every day was an exercise in foot pain until I found these shoes here at Zappos. Then after getting in nursing school, I worked as an aide in an ER arranged as a ring, and again I was either walking around that ring non-stop looking for things that needed doing, or pushing stretchers to the other end of the hospital and back. And now I'm a RN on the busiest unit in the hospital. Now I'll tell you when I get out of the pool, the widest part of my footprint is at the arch, no lie. If you were to plot a straight line down through my legs, you'd see the weight lies outside the footprint entirely. But after picking these shoes (and their predecessor MW925 model before them) I've had zero foot problems. The shoes lasted 6 months doing security, and a year in the hospital. I can't do without them. I can't say they're oversize or undersize, but I wear size 10 M in engineer’s boots and 10.5 D in these.

As usual, I received my order for the MW926 shoes the very next day - this is GREAT service! I have very wide feet and the MW926 size 4E is a perfect fit for me. Unlike other athletic shoes I've worn, this style offers superior support and stability along with true comfort.

A great walker - I have been wearing New Balance shoes for years because of wide feet and difficult fit. The 926 walkers are the best ever, with excellent support and stability, and room for custom orthoses. Based on past experience they should hold up to heavy use and are a great value despite the upfront cost.

Great shoe - Best decision - Used for casual use and even occasionally at work, this is the most comfortable 'sneaker' I've owned. I use to only buy cross trainers or running shoes (my last was the 1221) for such everyday use (well, mostly weekends), but since I mostly walk in them, I felt the need for a shoe more suited for the task. My feet don't get tired after many hours in this shoe and I really feel that I have better control of stride. I did feel the need to get the EE instead of my ususal D width, especially since I likm to wear very thick sport socks. Absolutely, no regrets. Highly recommended.

Really comfortable shoes - Comfort, toe room, width, styling, soft and stable, this shoe has it all. I always run in New Balance running shoes and this is the first time I tried their walking shoes and I am impressed, they are great. It's a winner with me.

GREAT WALKING SHOE - Best pair of walking shoes I have ever owned. Complete comfort from the first day. Slightly more than I usually pay for this type shoe but was well worth it.

Feels great - Lives up to other customer’s reviews -- NB doesn't always hit it right, but with the MW926 they did. The SL2 last is just about the only thing that fits my 4E foot well and the shoe is comfy and seems well built. I like that it comes in basic black and basic brown, unlike so many athletic shoes that are day-glo bling.

Great Pair of Shoes - My company has casual dress where I can wear jeans every day. I don't want to wear white sneakers all of the time, so I bought these shoes. I only wear New Balance, so it was a no-brainer to get these. They fit just like all of my NB shoes, but these actually felt like they have more cushioning. I like them very much and would recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable and sturdy shoe.
