I was informed of your web site by an employee of a New Balance store when they did not have my size in stock. He says he is a former Zappo\\\'s employee! Am I thankful to him for this!! Not only did I save abt $23,The shoe came to me the very next day.Now, my 15 year old son[a shoe-a-holic]is constantly surfing your site for cletes and tennis shoes. I have also shared it with friends and family.

I've had 2 foot surgeries and now wear custom orthotics. Also have to be very careful to get shoes with good support. Since my foot has widened out (a lot) since the surgeries, I now wear a EEE width, which is impossible to find in a regular shoe store. This is my fourth pair of New Balance shoes from Zappos.com and I have ordered EE, EEE and this latest time, EEEE width. They no longer make EEE width, so I just wear 2 pairs of socks. It's only 1/8" difference. I play tennis a lot, and these are comfortable from the moment they come out of the box. I have to keep buying new ones often because hard courts are murder on the soles. Customer service is outstanding and even though these shoes are pretty expensive, they fit and are comfortable. What more could you ask for? I am a huge fan of Zappos and as long as they sell these weird sizes and widths, they will have me as a customer.

This is my second or third pair of these, so obviously I like them. I wear them to the gym and for tennis. The fit is great for narrow feet and they 11 is spot on. Lots of companies making 11s are cutting them too short, NB included, but not on this style!

Vasque also works great for narrow feet!

Best sneaker I've ever owned. I work on floor for 12 hours a day. As soon as I received them the fit was so good you would never think they were new as far as a breaking in period. Very comfortable. I have to also add I have very bad arthritis in my knees and these two days I have worn them, my knees were pain-free when I got home, unlike previous days where I was sore. I highly recommend this sneak.

Not the most stylish shoe, but if you want a supportive and comfortable shoe for a lot of walking then this is it. I have a very wide foot, and this is the best fitting workout shoe I've ever worn. There was no break in period. They fit perfect right out of the box. I would highly recommend these shoes.

I have long and very narrow(4A)feet. I selected this particular showe because one of the reviews said it runs narrow. \r\nAnd it does! It fits and feels great. Usually, the laces are too long because my feet are so narrow, but even that \r\nis not an issue with these shoes!

Nice looking and very stable.
I like this shoe for the looks on my very wide (3E-4E) foot. I ended up with a 1/2 size smaller as I was able to get the actual width needed. I've had lots of NB shoes for avid walking. This is the best looking 4E shoe I've had but not the most comfortable. It is a bit less comfortable as the leather upper is still a bit stiff. Footbed also doesn't seem as cushioned but it is very stable and for the most part I'm very happy. We will see how it wears over the next 6 months. I use Superfeet for best arch support.

I use these shoes for aerobic exercise and find them to be very supportive and comfortable. These are the fourth pair of athletic shoes I have ordered and I was glad to finally find a pair that had the comfort I was hoping for. The lower cut design at the back of the shoe is great. All of the other pairs I tried came up very high and rubbed uncomfortably on the back of my ankle. I generally have a lot of heel pain after exercising and it has been greatly reduced since I started wearing these. This was my first time shopping with Zappos and I was extremely pleased. The merchandise arrived quickly and the return process was painless!

Lovin' these!
I have a size 10 1/2 foot. It is a tough size to find. I bought these in 10 1/2 and they were too small. I returned and got the 11. They fit like a glove and feel fantastic on my feet. I am wearing them to kickboxing today. They needed no "break in" period.

Very satisfied.
I was apprehensive about this order, as the model I usually order had been replaced by this one. Shipping was its normal excellent speed, and the new model was even more comfortable than the former.

Very happy with this shoe -
I love these shoes. I bought them because an article recommended them as the best athletic shoes for weight training, and I agree 100% with that. Where I feel the most difference is when doing squats and lunges - I feel very stable in these shoes and felt that I could increase my weights because of that. And - these are also becoming my favorites for walking and wearing all day long. They are very comfortable, and provide excellent support. They are "motion control" shoes which I haven't had before, and I like the feel of it. I am a teacher, on my feet at work all day, and these feel great there too. If I had to describe the "feel" - they are not "cushiony" - they are supportive.

My orthopedic surgeon suggested this shoe as ones which would help my problem (both a metatarsal arch inflammation and two arthritic toe joints). My custom-made orthotic fits while still giving wiggle room. I did find them shorter than my regular shoes--had to order a half size larger than normal. I only wish something like this came in something other than white!

Great walking shoe -
I have very wide feet and high arches and always have trouble finding comfortable shoes and sneakers for my feet. The NB WX855 is truly a very comfortable and good looking shoe for my feet. Thank you so much NB for making wide width sneakers and shoes for me. Great quality shoe too!

I have had the worst kind of foot trouble and after I did my research, I took a leap of faith and I have nothing but praises. My pain is gone. I only wish it came in other colours.

Performance Plus -
This shoe takes me miles and miles. The comfort and ease is outstanding. When I have put on many miles, my legs and feet tell me that it is time to reorder. Reordering from Zappos is a cinch. Excellent response!

I ordered my normal shoe size (9.5 AA) and worked out in them the same day I received them. No break-in period needed! Great Shoe!

Great shoe -
I am a nurse and work many hours on my feet. These shoes are well worth the price. Fit is true to size and I did not have to "break" these in. Would buy these again.

I bought these for my daughter who has a very wide foot and these worked very well for her. She is very fussy about shoes being too tight in the heel or up top and these had plenty of room in the extra wide size. Looked nice, too.

Just the Greatest -
I have severe foot problems and wear very special orthotics so a comfortable shoe is of most importance. I am rarely satisfied but these are different. They have been comfortable almost from the minute I put them on. I highly recommend.

This was my second order with Zappos. I think the service is excellent. The variety is unbeatable, both in styles and sizes, making shopping for shoes online the most sensible way to shop. New Balance was recommended to me by my podiatrist, but finding my size, 11EE, would have been impossible locally. Thank you Zappos!

Great for odd-sized feet!
I wear a women's 4E shoe, so you can imagine how difficult it can be to find a shoe that fits comfortably. I bought these about a month ago for racquetball and they're great! Aside from a brief issue with rubbing on one baby toe (I stuffed a r'ball into the shoe when I wasn't wearing it and it stretched it just enough), these shoes have felt really comfy from day one. I sold my r'ball partner on a pair easily (she wears a 2E) and she loves hers, too.

Propet brand has a nice selection of wide shoes.

Great Shoe for Anyone with Foot Problems -
This is a comfy walking shoe. I suffer from chronic tendonitis on the tendon that runs along my inner ankle and can't wear most of my shoes. This particular New Balance provides good arch and ankle support and I can wear my orthotics with them. No swollen ankle at the end of the day! There is no breaking in period--just put them on and go all day. Extremely comfortable! I usually wear an 8.5 narrow in regular shoes but I have found that with New Balance I must size up one full size. Width is perfect.
