The shoes always end up being good but the best thing is the friendly, concerned service! Zappos has some very nice people working for it. Thanks for making my shopping on the phone a good experience. The free shipping helps enormously and with my need for EE width, you offer some of the best choices.

My favorite shoes! I wasn't too fond of them when I first got them, they were very stiff. But I wore them whenever it snowed as they were my only waterproof shoes. They soon softened up, and are so comfortable they just became the shoes I wanted to grab every morning. They are over 2 years old and still look okay. But I'm ready for a nicer, new looking pair. The sole is still in great shape, though. Impressive, as I'm notoriously hard on shoes! I'll keep wearing these, but want another pair for when I want to look a little nicer. I'm a heavy stay-at-home Mom with young kids. I wear them for daily activity fall through spring and some light trail hiking. I'll agree to go up at least half a size! The width is fine (I wear wide), though.

Great boot. Keeps my feet warm in the bitter cold. Easier to shop Zappos than drive to several stores and never find what I'm looking for. Usually wear 8 or 8-1/2 wide. Ordered the 9 as suggested. Design makes my foot look smaller than a 9. Very comfortable and highly recommend this boot.

Great shoe. Wore it hiking in Alaska. I normally wear a 9 in New Balance, but I had to get a 9.5 in this style. Its not a beautiful shoe, but very functional and comfortable.

NB are great shoes. Biggest problem I have is the fact that I have a double A 81\/2 foot, which means that my selection is limited. I don\'t know if this is a problem with the vendor or Zappos.

This shoe is a little narrow and even a bit shorter than usual for New Balance. I am hoping it will stretch out a little in width with wear. Otherwise very supportive and comfortable.

I began walking\/hiking near my home for exercise but found that my while Nikes that were great for around town they where not up to the task of protecting my ankles and knees. These are! They were comfortable right out of the box with no break in required. My entire foot is cushioned and supported including under the ball of my foot which tends to be an ignored area of impact in women\'s shoes. They have become my weekend shoe of choice for any casual activity.

Wow! Ordered these over the memorial day weekend when Zappos was closed. They arrived today (Tuesday) before 3pm! Amazing! They fit great. Ordered a 1/2 size larger. Lots of toe room for my wide toes. Just the right height. Looking forward to wearing them on my trip to Lake Superior and the Canadian Shield.

I have purchased two pairs of NB 976 in the past and loved them. Tried these 977s and they run very small and will be returned. I was extremely disappointed with the fit. Otherwise, they are attractive and seem as sturdy as the previous model. I would recommend ordering at least a half size larger. As always, Zappos service and shipping was exceptional!

I ordered this shoe early Thursday morning January 20th and was pleased it arrived Friday January 21th! Classic Zappos speedy delivery which I did appreciate! I paid attention to the recommendation to order a half size larger - I usually wear an 11.5 B (which was not available in this model shoe) and figured the 12 B would be perfect - and indeed it was! Not too big and not too small - I was tickled and happy! The shoe feels a little stiff which I assume will go away with time. It does not appear to have a lot of cushioning inside - I recommend a nice thick sock. They look nice on my feet and I expect to get a lot of wear out of these. I specifically got them because I wanted the water proof/ gortex shoes. They will be put to the test in a couple of weeks when I take a trip to the Northern California coast where it rains (sideways rain!) all the time. Thank you Zappos!

Normally, I wear a 7W shoe. I had been looking for a good waterproof walking shoe and tried other manufacturers' walking boots/shoes. Unfortunately, even those 7 EE shoes/boots were too narrow, particularly at the top of my feet. I saw these NB shoes online, and read the reviews. I followed some of the reviewers' advice and ordered this shoe in size 7.5, a half size larger than my usual size. I ordered the EE width. I am so happy! They fit perfectly. They are so comfortable. At first the collars were a little stiff, but after a short time they relaxed and feel soft and comfortable around my ankles. Zappos' super fast service is wonderful, too.

Very happy. Ordered these last evening and received them today. I am amazed with the customer service. I wear a size 10 AAA, but after reading others' recommendations I ordered size 11 2AA. They are great! So comfortable so far. I've been wearing them for several hours and they feel good. Can't wait to go walking with them.

WW977 is an excellent fit and comfortable shoe. I have a narrow foot with tibial tendinitis due to collapsing arches. I normally wear a size 10 in New Balance, but did have to return for a 10.5 AA. Zappos, as usual, is fast and efficient with super easy returns.

These boots were great for hiking in the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon National Parks. A week before our trip I broke one of my toes. Amazingly, I had minimal discomfort in the toe while hiking which I can attribute to this boot. The ankle support was exactly what was required for hiking on limestone trails in Bryce Canyon. My suggestion for sizing is to increase by a 1/2 size from what your normal New Balance size would be. Also, increase width up one size if you have any bunions or extra wide feet. I normally wear 7.5 B in New Balance, but I needed size 8 D in these (I do have bunions). Another suggestion, order 2 or 3 different sizes at once to assure you get the correct one. Then, you can send back the others free of charge and very easily. Zappos rocks with their return policy!

This shoe fits perfectly out of the box. I am a 7EE. Needless to say it is hard to find shoes, boots or sandals that fit. These do. New Balance products run wide so I use their products a lot. The great thing about Zappos is they carried the extra wide boots. I shop at the New Balance store in my city. Zappos is easier to get to. The service is great. They also had a larger selection of the extra wide shoes.

New Balance walking boots have really made a difference in my being able to hike with friends and have fun while taking part in a variety of activities in all terrain and climate conditions. Prior to finding the New Balance WW977 I had to sit a lot of hiking activities out. I usually wear a 12 or 12 1/2 in other brands, but found the woman's 13 to be the right fit with a pair of thick socks. This was a great find.

I love the boots. I have narrow feet and the heels fit perfectly. They are a bit roomier in the toes which is nice. I wear thick socks with them. They needed no break in. The water proofing is great. I highly recommend them.

Problem feet? Problem solved. Problems I have tiny pinky toes, narrow heels, wide at ball of foot, and arthritis in one toe. This shoe met all of my requirements, but not without more than one try. Zappos saved the day by shipping overnight the right ones in time for my vacation. All customers looking for hiking boots should remember that heavy socks usually require an increase in width. I wore these shoes my entire vacation and was really comfortable. No breaking in required.

I have small (5.5) wide feet (EE) and it's nearly impossible to find hiking shoes that have enough room for my toes while wearing 2 pairs of socks; usually my feet suffer terribly. These fit the bill very nicely. On advice from others, I went up a size (6 EE), but I think I would have been okay with 5.5. I didn't even bother with the insoles that came with them, instead putting in a pair of SuperFeet.

These shoes outperformed my expectations. I bought them for our trip to South America. We hiked the Galapagos Islands, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, etc. They provided all the support I needed and were very comfortable while hiking. I even waded through a stream without my feet getting wet. My only problem was that I have arthritis in my feet, so level street walking was not as comfortable as I would have liked. I would recommend these shoes for hiking and would buy them again.

If you have a problem with your feet pronating, you will love this shoe! It helped my foot heal from an injury in just a week. It is so comfortable and supportive. I listened to all the reviewers, thank you, who said to order one size larger as well as wider. That worked perfectly. Plus they're Gore-Tex so I can wear them in the rain. Zappos got them to me overnight with their regular free shipping. Thank you Zappos!

I am very happy and pleased with these pair of shoes. I have plantar fasciitis, heel spur, neuroma, and very weak ankle, but these shoes are the best for all of the above. Protects my ankle, helps my heel for the whole day, and do not have to change my shoes for my hiking trips or even for walking on the curved fields. I can say I am in love with these shoes. Thanks Zappos.
