Customer Reviews New Balance WR768

This is a great exercise sneaker for walking. I have a narrow foot and need orthotics. The orthotics fit well in this sneaker without my heel sticking up too far up the back and rubbing. I usually buy Brooks Sneakers and decided to try New Balance this time and I'm glad I did. I really like the shoe laces too! I would recommend this shoe and will most likely purchase New Balance in the future. Zappos Rocks!

I am an aerobic instructor in Texas and I am always looking for a comfortable exercise shoe. I also have a narrow foot and I am 60 years old, so comfort is everything. I like this shoe because it is true to size and the toe box is a little narrower than some of the other shoes that I have ordered. I truly recommend it to my students.

WR768 is without a doubt the most comfortable and supportive walking shoe I've ever owned. It's snappy looking too! Only negative comment: the shoelaces are too long! (And I can live with that, and shall buy another pair soon.) You're a great company to deal with too!

I'm a new fan. In the past, I wore only Sauconys for their fit and looks, but decided to try something new with this order. Along with two Saucony styles, I added this NB model and found it to be more comfortable than either of the Sauconys. The toe box is high, which is great for me and the tongue of the shoe doesn't come up too high in the front, so there is no rubbing there and more ankle flexion is possible. I ordered my usual size 10 in a D width and was comfortable with a thin running sock. I just ran a few miles in them and no break-in was necessary. Yeah!

Good stability running shoe - This is my second pair of NB WR769. Training for my 4th marathon and helps a lot with my pronation. Less cushioning than I usually like, but good for stability. I have the gray/peach, not the prettiest shoe I've owned, but didn't buy it for looks. Overall highly recommended.

New Balance WR768 - I'm very happy with the shoe. It's very comfortable, fits well. The orthotic inserts I use fit very nicely. The shoes are very comfortable to run, walk, and work out in.

Finally, a good fitting athletic shoe for my short, wide feet! I sized up 1/2 size and tried the double wide with success. After returning (thank you Zappos, for your patience and variety) 5 other sizes/brands, these are keepers. If you have wide feet and/or bunions, you will need the double wide in this shoe. Most athletic shoes just do not provide much selection in your double wides. A roomy toe box for toes to spread out and no rubbing on toe tops. Many thanks to New Balance and my only shoe company, ZAPPOS! The mesh is very cool and light in warm weather. Mesh is also very forgiving in bunion areas. The shoe provides good stability without forcing your feet to DO anything contrary to nature. These shoes fit to your feet and feel like your feet, only better. Good support without added weight. I got the pink and white. The mesh upper is white but the trim on top/sides is SILVER. Not too shiny or flashy and blends nicely. No boring "tennis shoe white" here. Very attractive shoe. The back is high (as many athletics are for support of ankle) so you cannot wear really low cut socks. Thanks so much to Zappos for graciously hanging in with me on my search. You guys rock and I will be back and will recommend to all!

Very Pleased - I found these shoes to be a great fit (I have wide feet). Arch support is good (I stand up all day being a Pharmacist). It's a great shoe. I get plenty of compliments on the peach colored trim.

A Great Looking Fitness Shoe - I was told during a recent podiatrist visit that I needed to get a good shoe for my over-pronating foot. So far, I can really feel a good difference in how my foot feels when walking in this shoe. I really like the styling, too, and am very happy with how it looks. I have long feet, and found this shoe to fit true to size.

Love it! Recently somebody told me New Balance has the greatest exercise shoes for people with or without food problems. I decide to buy it. It's really a great exercise/walking shoes. Lots of padding and room in the toe areas of the shoes.

After getting them in a half size bigger, I love them. They are so comfy from the minute I put them on. No break-in period needed.

Fast replacements - I went to Zappos because my brother told me they were really fast at delivering and re-ordering shoes for you. I just started training for a 1/2 marathon, so I needed some new shoes that weren't going to give me blisters. When I first got them they were a 1/2 size too big, but I had my replacements within 2 days, it was great. I've been running multiple miles at once with these and haven't gotten any blisters at all. They're very comfortable and attractive.

Great running shoe. I run cross country and track and it was very comfortable and cushiony. Also pretty lightweight. Good for long mileage running since it lasted over 300 miles.

Great Shoe - Love this shoe! Wears really great while exercising and even normal activities (shopping)!

I love this shoe! I tend to pronate, so I need a shoe with great arch support and stability...this shoe does both! I also wear orthotics, so I buy a wide size to accommodate them. I usually wear an 8 to 8 1/2, but wear a 9 in this shoe.

Love 'em - and Zappos - I love these shoes. What I've found with NB is that the toe box is high - which is excellent for me since I hate to have pressure on my toenails (too many broken toes in the past). Although I normally order my shoes in Wide, with NB I have found the Double-Wide is the best as I believe they run narrower than other shoes. For years now I've been ordering double-wide in NB and it's worked perfectly every time.

Extremely comfortable and supportive. Best sneaker I've come across. Runs very small.

Very comfortable walking shoe - I love this shoe. I found it to be very comfortable for my painful feet (plantar fasciitis). I had to order a1/2 size larger than I usually wear.

LOVE this shoe! I bought these in Carolina Blue for an upcoming trip to New York City since I knew I'd be walking for miles plus up and down the subway stairs. They worked beautifully. Totally comfortable right out of the box, no blisters or discomfort of ANY kind. And they are so cute! Even my boyfriend liked them.

New Balance WR768 - True to size and width - great walking/hiking shoe.

Stability and comfort - I have chronic pain in my left hip due to a recent injury. The kind of physical therapy exercises I did made me think that a shoe with a stability last would be helpful. So I searched the New Balance line for stability trainers and ordered WR768. The design keeps my foot and ankle from turning inward and that seems to keep my hip pain at a minimum. The shoe is so lightweight and comfortable I hardly know I have shoes on. They look good too.

Excellent - I love these shoes! Mostly, I'm thrilled that I can find very (very) wide shoes to fit me! I can't find anything like this in any of the stores around my hometown. And I work in Breast Cancer research, so the pink looks good with my pink scrubs.

Great Comfortable Shoe - You will not regret buying these shoes. They are sooo comfortable. I have worn New Balance for many years... but these are the best yet!

Athletic Chic - These shoes are very comfortable and attractive! Best of all, they were delivered to my door within 24 hours of placing my order! Zappos is the best and knows the meaning of great customer service!

Very nice shoe so far - So far so good! I was a little apprehensive when I read the review about the shoe being much shinier than the picture, but they actually are not that much shinier. I really like the way they look (plain) and they are pretty comfortable.
