These shoes are awesome! Very comfortable, great support. They even help reduce the pain I have while I work out, from a foot problem I have. Highly recommend these shoes!

These shoes are the best fitting walking shoes I've ever had. I have narrow feet and need good arch support, and these were great on both counts. I tried Saucony shoes as well, but they weren't as comfortable.

I love this shoe. I have hallux rigidus in both of my big toes and these shoes make walking and/or jogging a painless breeze. Thank you Zappos for finding me pain-free exercise and for carrying these in a narrow width!

Recently purchased new balance WR817 for flat footed person. I love them. I have a hard time finding comfortable shoes and these really work for me. Now when I'm at my Zumba class my feet no longer cramp up. Thank you for a great fitting shoe.

Hi, I'm back - the girl from Boston. I kept the 8 1/2 WR817 but returned the WR1123. Needless to say, what this all boils down to, is what works for your foot. New Balances do run differently according to styles. Be patient and find if you need a larger or smaller size; do you need to wear thicker socks etc. Zappos is a great place - I call it now my Foot Support Group! I don't feel so alone with my flat, pronating, orthotic needing feet. Just to add, podiatrists I've seen, will quickly suggest "surgery"; shoes can fix a problem and shame on them for being so ignorant or not educated enough.

Just got these sneakers in the mail. Ordered an 8D (had the right fit with 8D in NB model 927). This size was too small. Just ordered 8 1/2 D and hope it fits. I have flat feet, pronation, arthritis and wear orthotics. I like these because they are not as "orthopedic" looking as the 927. And I like to make a fashion statement! Good luck! My advice: If not sure, order BOTH sizes.

This is my second pair of these same shoes. They are great for my extremely flat feet! I use them for running and have no problems with my feet, knees, or back.

Great shoe! I picked these shoes for training for a 5K after reading lots of reviews of different brands/styles of shoes. I am a larger girl so I need a shoe with good cushioning and support. I also have short, wide feet with almost flat arches. These shoes fit great right out of the box, walked 3 miles immediately out of the box with no breaking in and they were wonderful. Also, kudos to Zappos. I ordered these shoes at 9:30pm on a Tuesday night and had them in my hands by noon the next day; Zappos upgraded my shipping for free and shipped them at 3am to get them to me next day. I don't think I'll ever buy shoes anywhere else again.

Great shoe for overpronators! It's kind of clunky looking, so there's no fashion statement here. But if a person is looking for stability, this is it. The shoe is pretty roomy with its wide toe box, but I always order a half size up anyway to accomodate custom orthotics in addition to the liner that comes with the shoe. I prefer that my shoes be too long rather than too short.

I tried this shoe as my other New Balance had been discontinued. New Balance, with pronation correction, has cured my knees from pain while walking. I started with the New Balance 587 shoe 25 years ago. This 817 pair offers good support and of course is a model with pronation correction. I read reviews that indicated the size ran small and ordered them 1/2 size larger. I would not feel that necessary upon reorder. Initially, my foot slid a little, so I would stick to my usual size. I would recommend this shoe especially to anyone with a pronation problem.

This is the first time I bought a New Balance running shoe and am very happy that I did. I am an over pronator and the shoe has provided great support and motion control. I'll definitely buy these again.

These shoes are very comfortable and I like the way they look. My doctor had this style on his list of recommended shoes for people with problem feet. I think they are great.

These shoes are quickly becoming an all-time favorite. I have a lot of foot issues and any time I can put on a pair of shoes and comfortably wear them right out of the box, well, then they are a winner! I recommend these shoes without reservation.

This is my first pair of shoes to help correct my over-pronation. They are great for this purpose. I have stability like never before. I also feel this shoe will help prevent worsening of my problem. \r\n Zappos is great, too, in handling shipping orders.

Brooks is another good shoe for pronation although thet tend to run narrower.

Both the WR1011 and WR817 were selected because of my wide flat feet with bunions and narrow heels, plus my current (painful!) plantar fasciitis (both heels). While the WR1011 ran a half size too small, the WR817 ran totally true in length and width. I'm rating these 5 stars after taking them straight from the box to walk the dog tonight. My feet actually felt better from the much needed support these provided. I'll be replacing the insert, like always, with a gel product. New Balance inserts don't do the trick for me, but I wouldn't trade their shoes for anything!

Good shoe for overpronators and those who use orthotics. Quality cushioning and stability for heel strikers. Unable to comment about whether or not it is a true high mileage shoe, but New Balance continues to live up to its reputation of making a quality shoe for the individualized runner.

Comfy and keeps my Plantar Fasciitis from flaring up. I love these shoes. They fit just right (I wear a wide) and I have very high arches.

Just what my flat feet needed! These are a delight to wear, supportive, breathable, and there was no breaking-in period. I love them right down to the twisted laces that don't untie themselves. Buy them!

I loved this shoe. Looks great, feels great. Runs true to NB sizing [I always order one size larger in NB than I wear in street shoes. I wear thick Thorlo socks]. I liked everything about this shoe. It's very well constructed.

This shoe is the only shoe I wear - unless I have to dress up! At 58 I have numerous foot problems - post tibial dysfunction, a bunion, and several stress fractures in addition to the wide, flat, over pronatating feet I was born with. These shoes accommodate my custom orthotics easily and provide lots of support. I own several pairs so I can throw them in the gentle wash cycle as needed.

As recommended I ordered a 1/2 size larger and the fit was perfect. They required absolutely no break in time. Right out of the box I started to wear them for my walking routine approximately 2.5 miles daily. They are very comfortable, they provide the support, & the extra sole cushioning that I was looking for. Thank you to Zappos customer service for helping me find these shoes. I'm walkin with a smile.

I love these shoes. This is my second pair, and they fit and support like a dream. I am overweight and have trouble with my ankles and arches. With these New Balance shoes they both get support. They are also stable for when my husband and I go trail walking.

I needed a supportive shoe for my arches. I also use orthodics. These shoes fit the bill. I was able to run in the sand and my feet felt great!
