Customer Reviews New Balance WR883

I love New Balance shoes because I have a wide foot and they have wide sizes. These shoes are very sturdy and very comfortable. I got them to wear to the gym, and they really give me the support I need. I usually wear an 8W in New Balance, but that was too big in this shoe, so I exchanged for the 7 1/2 W and it is perfect. (New Balance tells you on its web site which last the shoes are made from, so next time I will know to pay attention to that.)

I have the previous version (882) of NB & they are still in perfectly good condition except dirty & I wanted a pair to wear off. I got the 883 & am very pleased. I have tried many other walking & running shoes & for my somewhat problem feet, these are the best! My only critique would be for NB to add a little more padding at the ball & toes of the shoe. I always get an ee width so I have plenty of toe room. Thank you Zappos for free shipping both ways no matter how many times I have to send shoes back!

Zappos service and attention to detail is outstanding. Their customer service personnel take their job title seriously. This company is very well run and their product is as promised. I would highly recommend you save yourself the trip to the shoe store; order online at Zappos.

These shoes rock! This is my second pair of WR883. Actually, first pair of WR883 but I had the 882\'s for two years and several hundred miles and they\'re practically the same thing. These shoes have the widest toe box on earth. I have squares for feet, so I need some extra room in the toe. The middle of the shoe hugs my foot perfectly so that I don\'t walk on the sides of my feet. The only thing I\'m bummed out about is that the awesome braided/quilted/whatever shoestrings from the 882 have been replaced by a cheaper version in the 883. They come untied a bit more often which can be irritating. Other than that, great shoe and definitely worth the money!

I have had trouble keeping on any type of shoe for more than a couple of hours due to a painful Morton's neuroma. I also have a very flexible foot and the arch falls when I bear weight. This is the only shoe that holds my foot upright. A little more arch support and forefoot padding would be wonderful but this is sufficient enough for me to resume running. This is the best I have found that comes in a narrow width.

I have terribly flat feet & also have to have a lift put on one shoe. Because of that I have lots of shoes in my closet I can't wear. (I try them on in a store, seemed good, had the lift put on and then found out they hurt after a short amount of time.) These are wonderful! After I had the lift put on, I broke them in for a day and then the next 2 days I spent tramping around Chicago without a pain! Great shoes and great company as I can wear them in the house as long as I need to before I decide to get the lift put on. I think this pair was the 5th that I had tried from Zappos before I found the right shoe! This is the only way I will shop for shoes ever again!

I work 12 hour shifts and these shoes are so comfortable and breathable my feet do not get hot. The service from Zappos was fabulous as always. Love these shoes.

Zappos is the best!! Fast reliable shipping on every item I have ever purchased. Returns are very simple and customer service is outstanding I used my zappos.com credit to purchase my walking shoes and they came the next day awesome. The New Balance WR883 are true to size they are very comfortable and are outstanding for my flat feet.

I have bad feet, Morton's neuroma, high arches etc. Since I bought these shoes, I can walk 12 hours a day with no pain. They are very well cushioned, have a very roomy toe box, and the mesh is nice and cool. Much better than leather. The fit was perfect; bought the usual size I normally buy and was very happy.

Good fit; runs 1 full size small for me. I like the generous toe room yet snug heel. But I have a condition in the balls of my feet which is aggravated by the built-up arch support underneath them. Otherwise it would be the perfect shoe for me.

Had previously been wearing New Balance 882s that my podiatrist recommended. They no longer make them and I think the 883 replaces the 882. They seem to be ok, but I'm just not sure they are as comfortable or cushy as the 882 was. At the same time I got custom orthotics (that feel like concrete shoes), so that may be part of the problem. Been wearing them for several weeks and they are feeling better, just still not sure that they are same quality as old style. And, the laces won't stay tied well. All in all, they are ok.

I really really like the New Balance system of shoe classification (you can find it on their website) as it has helped me find shoes that are comfortable on my hard-to-fit feet (I have high arches, skinny ankles, but a wide forefoot because of arthritis in one foot and a bunion on the other and I underpronate). Loved the 882 but the inside liner shredded after only one year--to be fair I did wear them to exercise almost every day. When the 883 came out I was encouraged by the sight of a new liner! So far the new liner has held up well but...the non-mesh part of the outside of the shoe has already cracked on BOTH SHOES and I haven't even had them a month! Very disappointing. The right shoe also had glue on the outside. These shoes also look huge on my feet. The 882s were much more attractive. Super comfy, unattractive, may fall apart! These may be my last pair of NB. :(
