These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. Went for a walk that evening and they didn't bother me a bit. Sadly, after only having them for about a month or so, the area between the laces and the end of the shoe has started to tear. Comfort -- two thumbs up; durability -- not so much.

I wear a 10B and used to buy NB 608's. They fit perfectly, but when the shoe was changed to the 608 NV or something, the arch support was basically removed. So I tried the MX 855 based on the reviews for excellent arch support but am not happy with them in two ways. First, there is very little arch support. The shoe is basically flat with a little bit of an arch on the very inside. Second, the tongue always slides to the outside no matter how I lace the shoes to try to prevent it. I will not buy these shoes again and wish I could get the old 608's back.

I purchased these in black about a year ago. I only wore them for 2-3 months during the summer and then started wearing them again this month. The shoe is wearing a hole out from the INSIDE at the heel tab. At the price this is unacceptable. Cushioning and arch support are fair. I had to purchase a pair of SOF cushioned arch supports to make these more comfortable. If these had more cushioning and some arch support they would be great. I like the solid black which allows me to wear them at work and they could pass for a dress shoe if I keep them clean. Zappos is GREAT as always with 24 hour shipping. They get 5 stars. Tony S

Good sneaker -
It would be a 5 if there were more cushion inside. That said they give me good support & stability.

Needs More Cushiness -
I have bought NB for years. This model is not cheap and seems to need more cushion in the sole. I have bought about 5 or 6 pairs of MBTs through Zappos and am always in search of a shoe that’s cheaper but has some padding. The new NBs are not so hot. Good fit overall. The wideness is their best selling point.

Had to return the MX855. I've been wearing the MX853 and had hoped that the MX855 would be equivalent, however they're not. The MX855 doesn't have the same arch support as the MX853. I am going to try the MX854, and hope that they're better than the MX855.

I wear a size 15/narrow and I DO NOT like this replacement model of the MX854. The primary reason is that the heel appears to be about a 1/2 inch lower than its predecessor model. I feel unbalanced as I take a step, as if the majority of my weight is on the heel instead of the ball/toe area. It is so uncomfortable that I actually went back to wearing an older pair of MX854s. I wish that I could buy a few more pairs from closeout, but, you only have a size 10 & 18 available!
