Customer Reviews New Balance WR1012

I have had a lot of New Balance shoes and these are just not comfortable for me. I have somewhat flat feet, and I think it is the arch supports that are uncomfortable. I trimmed the removable insoles a little and that helped, but they still are not great.

I could scream from frustration. I have worn NB for 30+ years and the shoes serve me well because of the last. Small flaw but: black indelible ink from inner sole on past 3-4 pairs of NB bleeds onto soles of my expensive Wilson double-layer socks. Cannot get the stain out with anything. I recently replaced my socks, forgot about the label bleeding, & just ruined 2 pairs of brand new Wilsons. Complained to NB a couple of years ago; got no response. Maybe Zappos customers can convince NB not to economize with this type of Chinese ink. Any ideas how to avoid problem without removing inner soles?

I bought this shoe thinking 'severe over pronator' would be a good thing for my condition, but it turned out this was too extreme compared to the 'moderate pronator' shoes I usually wear from Asics. I have worn these shoes for maybe 2 weeks now and parts of my foot are now hurting more then usual. The soft squishy part on the outer ankle joint hurts especially at night feeing like mini charlie horses. The top of my foot hurt when I put pressure to stand on my feet (I think its the cuneiform and metatarsal areas). I also had green superfeet inserts I wore from my previous pair of Asics in them. When I went to take the superfeet out today, they were severely bent where the ball of the foot starts. The construction looks as if it mimics a platform shoe (raised in the back and the toes are off the ground more then regular shoes). I'm going back to Asics.
