Customer Reviews New Balance MW558

NEW BALANCE CRITIQUE - I ordered the New Balance MW 558 to replace the MW 557's I have used that are now discontinued. I asked on the website and was told that the 558 was a great replacement. My MW557's were 10 1/2 4E. The first MW558's I ordered were the mesh type and I ordered the 10 1/2 4E. I expected the shoes would be the same as the 557's so I wore then to the bank. These shoes are at least 1/2 size smaller than the 557's. I then ordered another pair of MW558 Leather but I ordered in 11 4E. These fit. At $64- per pair I am not real happy with the sizing and the feedback information from the website on replacement.

Lightweight and mostly comfortable - This shoe is very good for walking on either pavement or crushed gravel (not hiking though). Is lightweight with good support and stability. Only complaint is that the toe box is a tad tight, but that has not been a deal-breaker for me.

Saved My Feet At Disney! I needed a nice comfortable pair of walking shoes as I was heading to Orlando for the obligatory family vacation at Disney. I have big-time ankle and pronation issues, and these shoes allowed me to forget. They were quite comfortable, and even after putting miles on them each and every day for a week I awoke each morning without my feet reminding me of each previous day's step! They did seem to be a bit narrow for what is my usual ordering width (9EE). A good solid shoe - I recommend it and will be looking for other NB styles.

I am returning the shoe, only because it is not quite wide enough for my foot. I feel it is a little bit smaller than other pairs I have purchased, but I loved the shoe. Wish it would have fit.

NEW BALANCE MW558 REVIEW - I was deciding between Nike and New Balance. My expensive Nike shoes in the past have always fallen apart prematurely. After seeing a lot of my co workers in New Balance, I decided to give them a try. From the reviews based on comfortable features and style, I got the MW558. They felt a little tight. Got the next wider size, and no more problems.

New Balance MW558 - Not as comfortable as I would have liked. Like the looks.

Narrower than billed - I switched to New Balance years ago because they come in wide widths. I thought the MW558 would be no different, however they felt smaller and narrower than the size and width ordered (9 EE). I am returning the sneakers and trying a different NB style.
