I love these shoes. I have worn them almost exclusively for a number of years to teach music and movement classes and for shopping and for walking in general. I have white and black. Black looks very good with black jeans and for winter. White looks very good with shorts and for summer. I have very short and wide feet, and these shoes are perfect. My actual foot-size does not really exist, but these shoes are very close! Wide toe box and not too long for me to trip over. Perfect!

I need to have white sneakers for work. This is the third pair of these same sneakers I have purchased from this site. True to size with room in the toe box. Can also fit well with an orthotic. I still have the other two pair that I keep for working in the yard and have actually washed them in the washing machine with no problem. Thanks, Zappos, for your excellent service and ease of return for products I have purchased that weren't exactly right. Customer service at its best.

I am a busy nurse. We do not have carpet in our facility. I am not little. These shoes are very comfortable and look nice all the time. I get them from Shoebuy for my best friend, too. (she is computerless).\r\nShoebuy does exactly what it says...free shipping both ways. No hassle! Saved lots of $$ too!! Very good prices.

Love these shoes! New Balance has the width I require, the size I need and the quality I expected. They needed no break-in and seem to be very sturdy. For me these 811s are great work/utility shoes, maybe not stylish enough for weekends. Oh yeah, thanks Zappos, for the supersonic shipping.

I have been looking for womens shoes that fit me for years. I always had to buy mens shoes. Not only do these shoes fit, they are very comfortable and look good. I will be a return customer.

I have worn New Balance for years. There is something to the balance beside the name. I am 75 and I have never fallen with these shoes, but have with others. This shoe is made in America, that means something to me. I should point out that I always have to get the top of the line to be totally satisfied.

The shoes I have purchased are the best shoes out of all that I own. They are so comfortable for wearing at my job. I would order another pair for work being that I am on my feet all day. They really are shoes that help my feet because of a problem I have with my heel. I would only order from Zappos from now on. Thank you for caring.

Wonderful website for shoes. The fact that you don't pay shipping means a lot when you're very hard to fit. We wasted money on other websites paying for shipping, only to have to pay shipping again to return the shoes because they didn't fit quite right. I'll keep using Zappos!

Very comfortable, no break in period needed. I have wide feet with bunions and no arch so finding a shoe that is comfortable is very important to me. These feel true to size. I wish they had some athletic shoes in brown though.

I love this shoe. I've been wearing this same NB model for almost 9 years now, and as long as they continue to make them, I'll continue to wear them. They're true to size and width, long wearing, and oh-so-comfy.

I love these shoes. I have hip and back problems and they are always much better when I wear my shoes all day. They make a huge difference in the way I feel, and my pain level is much less, too.

Bought these for my 94 year old mother. She has a narrow foot and it's almost impossible to find narrow-sized walking shoes where we live. In addition, the stability feature of these shoes is great. She wears them all the time and loves the bone color. They should make these in more colors, styles, and in real leather! But they are still good.

I love the new balance 811. I had a torn tendon across bottom of my foot. This shoe is the only shoe that is comfortable. The 'specialists' at Zappos were so helpful in trying many other shoes, encouraging me through the ordeal. I tried so many. When I have to wear dress shoes, it is horrible. I have asked New Balance to please make the '811' in a neutral color Nubuck for fall and winter, as I wear the bone with fall/winter clothes. I highly recommend the New Balance 811 and Zappos to anyone. I have a narrow foot, with a very narrow heel and very high arch. Again, my 811's keep me moving. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I have worn this shoe for years. They are supportive and comfortable. No break in time with a new pair. My orthotics slip right in. I have tried other athletic shoes but these are the best. Zappos' service is superior.

I am so happy I purchased these shoes. The comfort is unsurpassed! These all all day shoes for sure, even after shopping. I have the very painful Plantar Fasciitis, and these shoes are a life saver! If I wear these shoes a few days, my feet are pain free again, even when I remove them. When I wear sandals for instance for even one day, I get the excruciating heel/arch pain back! These shoes were recommended as orthodic shoes and THEY WORK! They allow the 'Plantar Fascia' ligament to heal!

I wear orthodics and love this shoe because it is very solid and stabile. I have been wearing New Balance 811 for years and I wear no other kind of shoe unless I absolutely have to get dressed up.

I have been purchasing this shoe from Zappos for years. I wear orthotics and this is the shoe my doctor suggested. The orthotics fits in without a problem. I also need a shoe that has a wider toe area and this is the one. I wear a size twelve 2A, which is hard to find, but never at Zappos. It is a true fit every time I purchase it. Never have I had to send it back. I would recommend this shoe to anyone who does a lot of walking or is on their feet all day.

This is the second pair that I have purchased. This shoe is comfortable right out of the box! The support and the round toe are a true find. The design of the sole feels stable and very well made. It is noted as a walking shoe, but they are a general all around shoe for me!

I think Zappos is the greatest. I\'m a mail carrier so my shoes are extremely important as I have foot pain associated with the many miles that I walk every day. I can always get the right shoes in the wide sizes that I need at excellent prices. Wouldn\'t change a thing about Zappos.com.

New Balance 811 Walking Shoe has made it possible for me to continue my 3 mile daily walking routine. Prior to purchasing them, I was having low back pain and was unable to continue my walks. My podiatrist fitted me with an orthotic that corrected my high arch, and that, combined with the shoes, made walking fun again. No more back ache, and no more waking up with back pain. Thank you, Zappos, for the fast and reliable service!

This is the best walking shoe ever. I am a daily walker and am on my second pair. The fit is great and one of the only walking shoes that comes in a narrow width.

More doctor recommended the NB brand for use with my new orthodic. I pick this style, and I really do like them. I got the putty color because it was unusual to what I found around here. I like them. Fit well, feel good, even with the orthodic inside, and many people comment on the color. I'm a happy customer.
