Customer Reviews New Balance MW659

I have used NB shoes for years, great fit for me. My feet require a wide "toe box" which this manufacturer delivers. The MW659 is my shoe of choice.

Yes these are very favorable to helping my plantar fasciitis. So much so, I can no occasionally and sparingly wear "normal" shoes. They are a little clunky for business wear, but me limping around was the alternative. These and wearing Birks indoors at home have go me just about back to "normal". It's been a long year of therapy and messing with shoes. I do use my inserts with these still.

I've been wearing these shoes for nearly a month now, with New Balance insoles, and I have nothing but great things to say for these shoes. They are comfortable, and the size seems to be just what I needed. I'm glad I tried them.

I needed some walking shoes for work and general use, these shoes were made for walking, and thats just what they do. One of these days when I wear them out I will purchase them again, they have been a great investment.

The service from Zappos was great - prompt delivery - and the shoes are excellent! I hope New Balance continues making the 659 models - they are comfortable right out of the box - no break in period needed and the price is very favorable compared to other walking shoe brands. I highly recommend them.

These shoes are great. They are very comfortable for walking around. They could be a tad wider for a 4E shoe, but overall they are very good.

I have 6 pair of NB walking shoes, all size 9.5 4E. I bought MW659 to replace a tired old model, hoping for the same comfortable fit. These have worked out very well - toe box wide enough, good length and heel fit. Lacing is weird (all laces pass through little individual loops on the tongue, which caused the tongue to bunch). I re-laced to eliminate all but one tongue loop at the halfway point, and all is OK. I'm happy - sturdy and comfortable, with solid open tread. Much more comfortable than MW759, which was too narrow across toe box.

Great shoes! Really comfortable. I now have a commanding lead. I am the envy of my peer group. I stand on the shoulders of giants.

These seem great, but are larger than I expected. I wear 8.5 women's, but ordered size 8 in men's thinking that it would allow for socks. However, it seems that I should have ordered 7 or 7.5. I'm looking to replace an older pair of New Balance hiking shoes that I have loved for years. I was surprised to see that these are more pointed in the toe.

Probably the most comfortable activity shoe I ever owned. This is my third pair purchased! I did order half size larger than my typical and I wear an extra wide shoe; but these have become my go to for comfort.

Extremely comfortable and durable shoes. It is hard for me to find a shoe wide enough to fit my foot, but have never had a problem with New Balance shoes, including this one. Great shoe!

Yes, this shoe definitely meets my expectations. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable standing and striding. I was pleasantly surprised at how light they are. Nicely ventilated. Construction is sturdy and they look as good as I hoped they would when ordering. The price is pretty fair, and the package arrived on time too. Another happy Zappos experience.

Very comfortable and the grey color looks good with "city" clothes. I spent eight days walking around London and never even thought about my feet. The cushioning was also kind to my double knee replacements. A winner!

These are better looking in person then I expected. They are just as good as New Balance shoes that cost twice as much. I'm thinking of purchasing another pair at this great price.

Great service from Zappos as usual, these shoes are super comfortable, and lightweight, great for walking on different terrains. I feel very secure on each step, In love with my 659's.

Bought this shoes for my father in law who is hard to fit! In addition he is diabetic and has to be careful with his shoes since he is really prone to foot ulcers. He loves this show. Wears it everyday!

Comfortable. More so than either Tennies or Prowalkers. And my size 14 feet are picky.

My husband really likes the comfort of these shoes. His prior pair wore out at the sides of the heels because of post-stroke walking difficulty and he was looking forward another pair like his first pair. Thanks for your prompt service.

Great shoe! Five stars. I have a very wide foot and these are great - very comfortable right out of the box.

Bought these for my husband who is very picky about comfort in shoes. They fit perfect and were very comfortable. They look nice without standing out too much.

The shoe was just what the seller advertised. Reviews were a big help in the selection process. The size was true to what I already wear.

I've worn New Balance shoes for a long time. This pair did not disappointment. I was surprised how light they were in compared with the 900 series of walking shoes. The color disguises the "walking shoe" look pretty good. Very comfortable, little to no break in time.

This is a good mid-range walking shoe. It's light, has a good balance of ventilation and padding, and grips surfaces well. The rubber soles are my favorite features because they provide surefootedness on smooth floor surfaces like hardwood, vinyl, and tile. The only caveat is for people who need a lot of arch support, because this shoe doesn't have it. I don't really need a whole lot of arch support so the MW659 works well for me. I even bought a spare pair of MW659s because I liked them a lot.

These are good shoes! The size 10's (I usually wear size 10) I ordered were too long, so I returned them and ordered 1/2 size smaller. They fit like a glove. No break-in time needed. Comfortable from the start and good insole support (I wear support inserts). I also like the rugged tread.

My husband had been looking for a good pair of NB and he loves the feel of these, too soon to say they will hold up a long time but the body of the shoe has enough thickness to support and protect the heel and toes on the shoe. If you want support and comfort the inner sole is great and overall the shoe is just what he needed. Fingers crossed that they last a few years. Thanks Zappos!
