Customer Reviews New Balance WR1012

These are by far the best walking shoes I have ever bought. I walk 13 miles+ a week for exercise and these are the only shoes I will use. Without them I have suffered from plantar fascia and hip pain and with them no pain. These shoes feature a tiny bit wider toe box with a bit narrower heel which is perfect for my feet. I love these shoes!

I found the shoe to be a good shoe for working out on the treadmill. It is comfortable and has good support. I found the heel area to be a bit wide for me. We used the double holes to make a cinch knot and that took care of that problem. I would purchase this shoe again in the future.

The shoe has excellent support and has an attractive style. This is usually much more than I spend on athletic shoes, but it was definitely worth it.

I love these shoes, just ordered my 2nd pair and hope they fit just like the first pair. I'm finding I have to stick to SL-2, because they just fit my food better. When I try others - PL-1, etc. they are just not as comfortable. I like this rounded toe - better than some of the pointed ones. Fits snug in the heel to keep from sliding and the 12 oz doesn't seem heavy at all till you put on a lighter shoe then the lighter one feels uncomfortable to me.

I love these shoes! This is my second pair. Expensive but worth it. Good support without being too rigid (like a good relationship!).

Great shoes! I put them on for the first time and they fit like I had them forever. Because I am an over-pronator, I need the stability that these shoes offer - comfort and support.

Wide in all the right places. (I am a B+ but not a wide.) Lots of support.

I wear this shoe for step class and walking. It was comfortable without any break-in period. I also own New Balance shoes that are specific for walking and for running. They are great!

Duck feet rejoice! I've got a wide toe-box, narrowish heel, high arches and I over-pronate big time. These are a wide-footed person's go-to shoe.

Excellent and quick service. Product perfect. First time in years that I can depend on finding the right shoe with the right fit without traveling to several different stores.

My workouts have been far more comfortable since I bought these. When I'm finished, I don't want to take them off. If only dressy office shoes could be this comfortable, and make me feel so stable! I have high arches, and these have helped more than any other sneaker I have ever purchased.

Very nice shoe that I use for walking and aerobic exercise class. I normally wear a size 7, but needed to go up one size. Very good arch support.

I have over pronation in my ankles and these are wonderful! My orthotics fit and the shoe is very comfortable!

This sneaker has been wonderful. I have problems with pain in my feet and this shoe has helped significantly. In addition, Zappos quick service and selection can't be beat!

Great product and besides wonderful customer service. Shoe has good support with my inserts. I have a pair for walking and another one for work.

These shoes are very comfortable. I would buy it again. My feet are extra wide but narrow on the heels so I just wear a little thicker pair of socks or lace them tighter. I wear it for walking and even around the house. Nice padding too. Thanks.

These shoes have been just what I have needed. I no longer have blood blister problems due to my overpronating when I run. They are an excellant running shoe and do exactly what they are made to do.

Exactly what I was looking for. Great fit, comfortable, and great price. I have plantar fasciitis (pronation) and these really help. I still use a shoe insert but these are extremely comfortable.

I bought these shoes for my retail job where I'm on my feet all day. They really are amazing and offer great support. The arch support that comes with the shoe isn't great, but the insole is removable and I always put in my own arch supports - there's plenty of room for that. I also have large, wide feet (11½ EE) and these shoes fit perfectly, which is not an easy thing to find! I am very happy with these shoes, and always love buying from Zappos!

This shoe is very comfortable. My foot doctor recommended a running shoe as everyday foot wear for heel spur. These were very comfortable from the first day.

I have severe over-pronation and these shoes brought great relief to my sore feet. Their structure keeps my feet in a good position. My orthotics fit in nicely. I especially like the nice roomy toebox; and the laces have a new type of texturing that keeps them from getting loose. With all their added structure and support, they still look stylish too.

Fantastic. I used to buy sneakers in the $80 range, and was skeptical whether more money would make a difference. But it does! These feel like air.

I have flat feet, a bunion & I pronate; these are the only athletic shoes that work for me. I have 2 pair & got them both from Zappos!

I really like these very comfortable shoes. I am on my feet all day and they are very light. They come in wide widths which are usually hard to find. I would get a half size larger next time. Overall, I love these shoes!

These sneakers are the updated version of WR1011. I will only buy New Balance because of their SL-2 last, which fits me perfectly: great support for my narrow heels, flat and arthritic feet. I could walk in them forever.
