Customer Reviews New Balance MT811

This shoe is great for hiking or even riding on a mountain bike. The fit is amazing, as well as the colors. The shoe has a great traction on the bottom and I like that because it can lock into the pedal. The laces stayed tied as well. They are not too heavy as well. The top of the shoes with the mesh provides great breath ability and again these shoes are not very heavy. I love these shoes.

New Balance shoes - These shoes were perfect fit for my large sized son. He wears a 14 EE and these were perfect he put them on and never complained, they were so easy to break in.

If you were a fan of the 810, then you'll definitely like the MT811 as well. I'm happy that NB now offers 2E in black. These shoes accommodate my orthotics, and are very comfortable for someone like me who has high arches. Another fine American built shoe from NB.;)

Very satisfied - First off I'd like to give Zappos a big big thanks for the always fast shipping. No one else does it like them, that’s why they are the best. As far as the shoes great shoes, New Balance are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. You won’t be disappointed with these either. They fit great, are comfortable, and look good also. Thanks and keep up the great customer service and great products you offer.

Not a lot of experience with shoe, but it is comfortable and easy to walk in.

New balance runners - I purchased the NB runners because I have a "hard to fit foot". Nike's are way too short in a 14, and way too long in a 15. Adidas was not an option because they also were too short in 14, too long in 15. These NB fit the bill great. They are pretty true to size, maybe just a little short in left foot, but otherwise okay. The toe box isn't too wide, and the lacing system gives a little variability to how you actually tie them. They're comfortable for long periods and look okay to the eye. One small criticism is that they are pretty warm. I don't think the fabric breathes as well as advertised, but it isn't a big problem.

New Balance MT811 success! I have no complaints for this shoe other than it sized a tiny bit large for me. I am not sure if that isn't just because my last shoes were so snug. I use this shoe for running trails in Alaska as well as golfing comfortably. I recommend this shoe to active people everywhere.

Ugly, but comfy - Light, well ventilated, ugly, and comfortable.

Great Shoe - This New Balance sneaker is very comfortable. I need a shoe with a lot of pronator support and this shoe works well. There is great ventilation; you can actually feel the wind blow inside your shoes, which is awesome on hot days.

Very Good, but not superb - I shouldn't complain, because finding a 13B in ANYTHING is difficult, and I'm very thankful Zappos stocks as many narrow-sized shoes as they do. Basically the Brooks Addiction 6 is my gym-shoe, and I wanted a shoe for walking, running, hill climbing, etc. The Propét Stability Walker I initially bought didn't fit well, so I returned them and upgraded to this New Balance. Out of the box, they're pretty comfortable, very light, and breathe easily. I'm sure they'll be a good shoe for the SoCal environment. They do feel just a bit small in length, and I sure do wish shoe companies would get the idea that narrow feet usually have higher arches, because the arch support is (as marked) moderate, but not nearly as great as the Brooks. Still, overall, it's a good shoe for a hard-to-fit foot. I'd have bought another pair of Brooks, but they don't seem to have the rugged soles that the New Balances do. Take note, Brooks!

Great shoes, though a little drafty - These shoes are very comfortable and offer better than average support. I'm not a runner so they're used as an every day wear shoe. The fabric upper is very breathable though on colder, very windy days they seem a little drafty, so stick to your boots for those days.

I've been buying NB 13 ee shoes because they've always fit well; this shoe is much wider and has lighter construction than other NB shoes. My feet slide around in them.

Good, not great - I've taken these out in the Hollywood Hills a few times now, and overall they are pretty comfortable with good traction, but probably a bit over-priced from the competition. I've bought Avia and Nike in the lower price range that are equal to, if not more comfortable.

Nice looking - I find these shoes nice looking but a little narrow for my wide feet even in the wider size.

Comfortable, But Not Particularly Supportive - I tried these after using Montrail Hardrocks for some time and guess what? I'm going back to the Montrails. The soles wore out extremely fast and the shoe offers very little in the way of rigidity or support. Very comfortable for casual use, but not particularly well suited for trail running or hiking.

If you like to continually stop to tighten your shoes during a run, then this is the shoe for you. NB did a design "improvement" on this shoe by cutting down on the number of eyes you have to lace up with, thru loops, not eyes in the vamp itself, and trimming back the vamp. The result is a big gap over the tongue with not enough lace crossings to snug the shoe. The lace and shoe loops and material stretch continually while running, resulting in a constant loosening, and, therefore, stopping to tighten up. At least that's what happens after the first dozen miles of break-in by this big, long-time runner, who loved the original 801's. Another flub in the once-vaunted NO 800 trail series. Wait for the 812 . . . or buy the re-issued 801's.

MT811 - These shoes do not live up to my experience with New Balance products. If there was a way to return them, I would. When running, you can feel the road under your feet. This is not the case with all the other New Balance shoes I have on the shelf. My previous NB trail running shoes were fantastic, but these just don't measure up.
