Customer Reviews New Balance WR859

Perfect fit for narrow feet - Since I have a difficult time finding shoes which fit my narrow feet, I was pleasantly surprised by this shoe. They fit perfectly from the moment I put them on. The heel cup hugged my foot with no slippage and the toes were wide enough to give lots of room. Plus, they look great! New Balance is the only brand of athletic shoe I have found that still makes a narrow width.

Good looks - NB is one of the few athletic shoes I can wear with my size 10 AAAA flat feet. I get them half a size bigger than my regular shoes and put my orthotics in them. The don't make my feet look as big as the Saucony or Asics Gels did but they are not quite as supportive as those were. Being somewhat vain I kept the NB! The Gels felt especially great in the soles, too but of course with the orthotic that would have been lost to me.

Very comfortable shoes - These trainers were the third pair of New Balance I ordered, having returned the other two which just didn't feel right. I was looking for cross-training shoes, which would allow me to run sprints or short distances as well as work out in the gym. I had always worn NB shoes because the other brands have just never been comfortable. These shoes have a got a nice roomy toe box and use exactly the same technology as the pair I had before (walking shoes), except these are running shoes. For running, they are excellent and feel great on my feet. For walking and gym work, they are okay, although not the best as the toe box can be too roomy for that purpose. I really wanted the WW759 instead but they were not in stock for quite a while and I couldn't wait anymore, so I bought these to match the technology I had in previous shoes which were made in England. Overall I'm really happy with them, especially as I tend to run a bit more these days, but I'd still like to try the WW759. Zappos has an excellent customer service so I hope they will become available again soon in my size (9.5).

Buy the way this shoe looks to be pink, but it is orange. I was happy. I wanted these but did not want pink. It is solid orange no pink tint at all.

Great, comfortable shoe, but lacking in arch support - I bought this shoe when I got a retail job where I would be on my feet for 8 hours a day. It's a very comfortable shoe for the most part - well-cushioned and supportive. However, it's lacking in arch support. I have high arches and had hoped for more than what I got. I'm going to try some arch support insoles, since there's plenty of room for them in this shoe. Other than the arch support issue, I love them! I can't remember the last time a shoe was truly wide enough for my foot, but this shoe certainly is (in a double wide size, of course)! I would definitely recommend it. Zappos is awesome!!!

Awesome Shoes - For someone who has very flat and wide feet with plantar fasciitis issues...these shoes in a wide are incredible. I feel the toe box accommodates my wide feet and the arch supports my flat feet without any foot pain. I would highly recommend trying out this shoe if you have been looking for a one quick fix.

Awesome sneaker!!! True to size - After buying and returning three different pairs of Asics (thank you Zappos for your awesome return policy) that just did not fit right, I finally found the perfect sneakers. These are the most comfortable sneaker I have ever owned. They are like walking on cloud. They are very nice looking too, even better then they look online. I found they run true to size. I took other reviewers advice and ordered a half size up and they were too big. I had to return those and order my usual size and the fit is perfect. I would recommend ordering your true size.

Excellent shoe - I've had problems for years trying to find a shoe that fits me and offers support. This shoe definitely is it! Very comfortable, doesn't rub the heel, perfect fit! And they look awesome too! And kudos to Zappos because they got my order to me extremely fast! I will definitely use this site again as well as pass along the word to friends!

850 series still rocks for comfort and stability - I have been wearing the New Balance WR85X series since they were called the 851s. I have never found a better shoe to help prevent pronation (it also works with my custom orthotic) while providing instant comfort. I have hyper sensitive feet, and I can actually run and walk for extended periods of time in these shoes. As usual, Zappos.com shipped promptly and demonstrates excellent customer service.

Roomy toe box - These shoes are very comfortable. My foot is wide in the front with a narrow heel and high instep. The toe box is roomy. The color is good. I like the type of laces that don't come untied but don't like that they are white. I am on my feet most of the day, and I walk back and forth between buildings. I have had them about 2 weeks. There is a wrinkle on the toe of one shoe but it was too much hassle to send them back. I would buy these again if they don't change styles again.

If you can only own one pair of winter boots. These are the ones! They are warm, comfortable, will keep your feet dry lightweight (weigh less than Baffin hunter).This matters if you are walking lots of miles. I use them for deer hunting, ice fishing, snowshoeing and snow removal. The one drawback as in most rubber pack boots is that you don't have a lot of ankle and arch support. They fit more like a big comfortable slipper. The liner pulls out of the boot for easy drying in the event they get wet. My previous pair lasted for 5 hard years. Zappos sells them at a great price with a great return policy. I wear them from October thru April.
