Customer Reviews New Balance M587

I think these are great shoes. I got these in size 6½EEEE. It is wonderful to have the option of shoes in my size and the opportunity to fine-tune the fit.

Finally found a size 14 narrow that is not too brightly colored! Thank you Zappos, you are such a great organization! I have exercised in these a lot and they felt good right away.

I walk a lot, and tend to have problems with my feet. These shoes offer the best support of any shoe I've ever used. They're amazing. I'm not a fan of the way they look, but that's subjective, and you can make your own decisions on that from the photos. Also, they don't have any leather in them. I'm taking a trip to India, and want to be able to have a leather free wardrobe, so that was helpful to me as well.

I have very difficult feet to fit and have been happy with New Balance in the past. However the model I ordered previously is no longer available so I ordered this one in my usual size (12/4E). It is far too big and offered not nearly the support I was used to. I tried the 11.5/4E and it feels too small. This has happened to me in the past with Asics, Reebok and Brooks. I find a great shoe, then they stop making it and other models don't fit correctly. I'll be looking for another brand/model. Fortunately I know I'll find something on Zappos.

I only bought these due to the fact that New Balance screwed up and "updated" (read ruined) the 1123 with the 1540. These are the closest I can find to the 1123 in terms of stability and support. While these do provide some support, they are not as supportive as the 1123s were. Also, they are rather ugly, make me feel "special" - not in a good way. I just hope that NB will bring the 1123 back.

A classic, very much in the New Balance tradition. Better fitting than newer New Balance models, particularly in the toe box, but a little heavier as well.

I bought these shoes primarily because they came in 13N and made in the USA. When I received the shoes, my first impression was that they looked like they were made with lower-end materials and when I tried them on they were extremely squeaky, even on carpet. The squeak comes from inside the back of the heel. I've now worn these shoes for several years they are still the noisiest shoes I've ever owned--just now only use them to mow the lawn.. If you don't mind squeaky shoes that looks rather cheap, then you might like these.

Excellent all around shoe. I drag race for a hobby and am on feet all day these shoes fit the bill. I always try to keep an extra pair on hand.

I wear size 13 4E so I always look for a shoe that has the SL-2 last. I walk 20-30 miles a week. These are much better than my last pair of NB's, which were 1540's. I like these as much as the discontinued 1012's. Great shoe.

When I retired I weighed 333 lbs. Hurt to walk. Got the NB587 and gradually built up to five miles a day. (about a years time). Now I weigh around 200 lbs. Bought these shoes locally. Store stopped carrying them. Tried other shoes, but discovered Zappos carried this shoe. Wish I had eight years ago. Better price, great service,fast delivery. No brainer here. Shoes,socks, and even a rice cooker! Very satisfied.

These running shoes were horrible. The wide shoe strings ensured that they would always come untied and the shoes felt much wider than a narrow. I have usually had good luck with New Balance shoes, but with this model, I should have returned the shoes and gotten my money back.

Bought these shoes for my sweetie's birthday...he absolutely loves these shoes! He says, "They are Heaven!"

Wow, New Balance has fallen far. These are not at all like they used to be - they are hard, clunky, not supportive, some kind of synthetic material, strange toe "box." I am very disappointed and returning them. C'mon NB, you used to be great.

This is an excellent shoe for running or walking. It is the best cushioned shoe I have ever worn. The only negative is, it runs wide. Even though I ordered a narrow, the laceup is close to meeting and the material in top front shows creasing. I thought about sending them back, but they are just too comfortable. Zappos service is great - about 4 days with free shipping.

Narrower toe box than the 587 used to have!!! I have 4E feet, in particular with a narrow heel but very wide toe area, and it was a godsend when I found NB in the early 1990s. Not only that they made wide widths, but different lasts -- their SL-2 was so much better than most fits. Gradually, it seems like NB quality has gone down and that they have been making fewer shoes in their more accomodating lasts. NB claims the 587 is a classic, still made like it was years ago -- even still made in USA! But all good things come to an end, I guess. Well, I just got a pair to replace my five year old 587s, and they are *not* the same. They are very similar, but slightly narrower. In particular, NB has changed the design of the toe box -- it is now narrower, though also somewhat longer. This is not just a question of my old ones being stretched, it's clear that the toe cap leather is now a different shape, and it goes much further back down the sides of the shoe. The net effect is to make the front of the shoe more "pointy" -- longer in the middle, but narrower. More subtle is that the greatest length is right up the the middle, less biased towards the inner (big toe) side than before. The difference is obvious to anyone who is a longtime user of the SL-2 last -- SL2 shoes never looked at all pointy in the front, very broad and round. So what used to be a perfect gym shoe for me is now tight across the toes, and downright painfully pinching my big toes. I imagine they'll stretch but it's never going to fit as well as the traditional SL-2 has. Be warned if you're not just wide, but specifically wide across the toes.

Very comfortable and helps with my plantar fasciitis. I use orthotics and they fit well in the shoe.

My husband has foot issues and new balance shoes are recommended for him and especially due to they way it is built. We used to buy them in stores but when they were no longer available we tried Zappos and there they were! We love Zappos - great customer service, no shipping, speedy delivery, etc. His size is sometimes not in-stock and the back order system is great. We have another pair on back order now! Thanks Zappos!

I really like the great support that this shoe gives me. Mt left foot and ankle pronate and I was having trouble with my left knee and left SI joint. These shoes have made a difference. I use these shoes to play pickleball, I do find these shoes a little heavy, but would not stop me from buying another pair. The shoes seem just a little wide for me, my next pair, I will try a narrow if I can find them.

I purchased this pair of sneakers for my husband who complained of back pain after jogging. He has been using them for a month now and reported having no back pain. He loves the sneakers! He has been wearing them everywhere for comfort.

The shoe fit great, then after a month both shoes squeak non stop and it's pretty loud. There is plastic that's lining the inside of the fabric of the shoe and creaks and squeaks with every step. Also, because of the design of the sole a lot of people thought I was wearing shape ups which was a turn off. If they didn't sound like I needed to be oiled I'd be more inclined to buy these again because they do feel good but the quality of the shoe seems to be lacking.

These shoes are junk. They are flimsy and they made me walk awkwardly. Granted that I am a large man, these shoes had less support than my Birkenstocks. On top of this, they squeak! Squeaking shoes! Perhaps my pair was a lemon, but I am very disappointed. I work hard for my money and am pretty upset to donate away a pair of shoes at this price. Unfortunately, I have to give the shoe at least one star to contribute - I'd prefer to give it zero. Boo NB!

My wife introduced me to this web site. I ordered a pair of NB M587 and got exactly what I ordered. I have a walking problem and the NB M587 is the only shoe (that I know of) that will work for me.

These shoes are great for people who don't have the perfect running style. When I run I land on the outside of my foot and these cushion my foot and help with stability. I wish they could keep them in stock when I need them!

The shoe looks great and it fits perfectly, my biggest issue with these shoes is that they're incredibly loud! The plastics inside the shoe constantly squeak and creak with every step. I would consider buying a new set of shoes except that these started doing this within a year of purchase. Unless they improve the manufacturing of this shoe, I will not be buying it again.

These provide good support for walking and sprinting. These were recommended by my podiatrist, and I can see why. The mesh on the front is very good to maintain aeration in the summer. Overall, these are good support/stability shoes for my wide forefoot and I would certainly buy them again.
