I wear only NB because I have a Morton's neuroma and need the wide toe-box. Thee shoes do not disappoint in that area. True to size, easily fit my orthotics, great stability, and a nice look to them which is great if I need to stop off somewhere before or after going for a run. Worth the extra money for a high quality shoe.

This shoe is great for those who need stability and motion control. Once you remove the insole, the shoe comfortably fits custom-made orthotics. They are also good for a narrower foot. I tend to find other NB shoes a bit wide but these fit perfectly.

I ordered a 10WW. The width is great especially the toe box. Having wide flat feet the arch did take a day or two to get used to but now is fine. I wore them for the first time walking in Vegas for 3 days and never had to break them in. I was afraid they looked too masculine but the gray is more silver and they are more white in person. I love Zappos service and will order many more times.

was experiencing foot pain with aching feet and knees after I walked. Decided I needed more support so looked into this shoe. I ordered an 8.5 and after walking around for a bit had foot slippage and returned for an 8 and they are really comfortable, they have great support, no foot slide and great for long walks...yes they are a bit more but our feet and knees are worth it. My husband has been wearing the same model for over a year. We both would recommend this shoe. It would be fun to have it come in some zippier colors like RED or HOT PINK with black!

The running shoes were purchased strictly for working out. I have been very pleased with the performance of the shoes during my workouts. I tried another brand first in the extra wide, they were not wide enough. I have the width I need in these shoes. The shoe strings are neat in the design which keeps them from coming untied without double tying.

I bought these shoes because I have arthriits in my big toes. I needed a shoe with significant pronation control to help shift the weight off of my inner-foot. These shoes are excellent. I would highly recommend them to those with pronation issues.

I have very wide and sensitive feet and it is very difficult to get EE shoes that look good and are comfortable. I found Zappos on the internet and got exactly what I wanted in a running shoe and I received them within 5 days I am very satisfied with them as they are good looking and most important very comfortable. I will add that shipping is free which is also a big plus.

This is an awesome running shoe! I love it and would buy it again. This shoe is great for over pronators and people who need extra arch support. They are very comfortable. With New Balance shoes I do have to go a size larger, though.

The service is unbeatable. The staff is super. The quality of the shoes is great. And the shipping is beyond belief. I can't say enough about this store. I have told my Podiatrist and all my friends about it. I will continue to buy all my shoes here.

I love NB shoes because they support all different kinds of feet, including my wide (D) relatively flat feet. I used to wear the 1009 2 years ago until I found the 1011s last year. I have literally worn through my 1011s and ordered replacement 1011s as my first order from Zappos. It turns out that I ordered the men's shoes. I called Zappos and told them my error and they said it wasn't a problem at all. In fact, they credited my account with the price I paid for the men's shoes and said the women's pair was on sale. The woman on the phone ordered me my new pair on Saturday and I received them on Monday all before I even mailed back the men's pair. I love Zappos and will use them for all of my New Balance needs. Now the shoes. This is the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. I use them in step and kickboxing classes, walks and runs, and everyday use. It feels like there is memory foam on the balls of the feet. Even after wearing them for over a year, they are still comfortable. I only got a new pair because the netting ripped near the toe (exposing my sock) and they turned completely gray.

I love these shoes. I have a small bunion and the start of a neroma, but these shoes help me do what I love to do with minimal pain: run!

New Balance has done it again! Love these shoes. They are very comfortable. I train dogs and have to be on my feet a lot to do that, obviously. These shoes give wonderful support and are so comfortable right out of the box.

This shoe (WR1011) fits great! I have always worn NB, and SL-2 just always seem to fit out of the box. So I have learned to stick with the SL-2 shoes. Also I am happier this time because NB made this shoe a bit longer. Most of the 8 1/2 I order are just a tad short, but a 9 is too big. So I always dreamed if they would just make the 8 1/2 just a tad longer, then they would be perfect and they have! My NB 844 and WR817 are both short, hitting my big toe, but not these, I have room now! I love the looks of these. I tried Saucony, but just didn't feel as comfy as NB. And I can't say enough about Zappos. The free shipping back and forth and their outstanding customer help and fast shipping, is just unheard of in today's world. Order one afternoon, have shoes next morning. Who would have thunk it? I give Zappos ten Stars! And just ordered my husband a pair of NB to try cause I love 'em, and want them to have all my business.

These are great shoes. They are very comfortable. This is the 2nd pair of NB1011 I have purchased. I do agree with other posts - to order 1/2 to a whole size larger than you wear normally. I went to a local store to purchase the shoes and they would have had to order the size I need (2 weeks for delivery). I looked on Zappos.com, ordered on Saturday, and received them Monday! Super FAST shipping. THANKS!

These shoes are super comfy. I know my running shoes are getting old when my knees start to ache after a run; I've had these for months and they are holding up great. I also appreciate that the styling is not super flashy or girly.

Not the best looking shoe, but it’s great right out of the box. I have a very high arch and minor foot problems and this shoe was very comfortable and supportive while working out. I would, however, consider going up at least one-half to a whole size larger. I will never buy another shoe without these type shoelaces. They never slip and always stay tight. Great product. Now I am searching for all the same features in a cuter style for daily use.

New Balance WR 1011 -
I love these shoes!! They are the most comfortable shoes I have worn in a long time. I have always worn Ascis, and never been a fan of New Balance, but I am sold on these sneakers.

Ascis, Nike are both great shoes, but right now I am sold on New Balance

This is the best shoe I have ever owned. I am a nurse on my feet on cement flooring eight hours a day. I have had fusions in both feet and it is nearly impossible to find a comfortable shoe. I am ordering a second pair.

Good with orthotics -
My physical therapist "prescribed" these to complement my orthotics just before I was going on vacation. I wore them nonstop for a month and was able to walk much more than I expected. Apparently they really hold your foot in place but look like a regular running shoe.

My feet don't hurt when wearing New Balance WR1011 -
Ordered these on a Wednesday, received on Friday. Went to work Saturday with these on my feet for 16hrs. (I'm a nurse...did the same thing Sunday) No "break-in" time needed. These felt wonderful on my feet! I've had a problem with left hip & knee pain from an old injury. Usually by the end of my 1st 16hr shift, my knee & hip are starting to hurt. Not with these shoes on! I also have had a problem with plantar fasciitis & need good arch support. These have it! Would recommend for anyone needing a good, stylish supportive shoe.

Good long distance running shoe -
I owned the previous model to this one and loved them, so decided to go with the newer pair. This model has good, perhaps better cushioning and the midfoot/lace portion wraps more snuggly than the previous model which improved the fit for me. Ended up choosing a half size larger than previous pair.

Great shoes -
Although they may look a bit clunky (soles). These shoes fit from the first try. I have never had shoes that felt like they were already broken in on the first wearing. An A+ for these

This is to thank Debbie at Customer Service for the awesome help received. She used a shoe purchased 5 years ago and matched me up with a very difficult size and fitting. Thank you SO MUCH.

Pronator - wide forefoot - narrow heel - perfect!
This shoe replaces my 766's that are built on the SL-2 last. They fit almost identically to that shoe, and are perfect if you have a wide foot across the toe, but have a narrow heel, and moderate pronation. Also good if you just like a roomier toe area, would probably be good for people with toe problems. I am a walker, not a runner. My foot does slide around a little bit in the toe, but you can easily adjust the laces to help with that. New Balance web-site has instructions on lacing for this problem. Buy your normal New Balance size, which for me, is a half to a full size larger than a street shoe. I might buy another pair before they discontinue this model!
