Customer Reviews New Balance WW850

A very lightweight and comfortable sneaker for everyday. Depending on the kind of socks I wear, they sometimes squeak...but not loudly. :)

Shoes fit well, comfortable for walking and around town. They are not waterproof, however, so if you're looking for all-season shoes, this isn't it. My feet end up wet a lot more quickly than in my usual work out shoes. Even just walking into the gym on a rainy day, I end up with wet toes/socks. The other thing is that I find these shoes are very slippery on wet floors/sidewalks. There's not a lot of traction on the soles. However, I like these shoes and will continue to wear them. I've worn them around the house and they are comfortable, I forget I have them on!

Had tried an earlier version of the enhanced walking fitness shoe which really aggravated my knees. These don't seem to do that. Walking seems like more of a work out, but can't say what the benefits are to my muscles.

After reading all of the reviews, I thought they would be the perfect shoe, but I think they are just okay. They are not uncomfortable, but they are not the most comfortable tennis shoes have ever bought either. Oh well.

For the average person this shoe is probably fine. I have plantar fasciitis and it does not provide enough support around my heel/back of foot. I noticed it right away but thought I just needed to get used to it. Wish I would have returned them the first week.

These fit well and are comfortable. I like the way they look, also. But I don’t feel they have enough support on the sides of my foot when I am making lateral moves in the gym. The sides of my feet have been aching. I’m keeping them for low intensity activity, walking, or just hanging around.

Not a good shoe for running, jumping, dancing or step aerobics. This is not a flat bottomed shoe, it has an arch to the sole. My feet are killing me from exercising in them. They may be fine for walking around as a tourist but I don't recommend them for real aerobic activity.

Only use these for walking! I made the mistake of wearing them to gym for various classes and it has taken my feet months to recover after only a few weeks of use.

I were these at work, were I am moving and standing all day. I would recommend these to anyone who is on their feet all day.

Owned these shoes for two years before I had to retire them. They were my favorite shoes! Used them for power walking and in the gym twice a week. Support is still fantastic in them. Had to retire them because the inside of the top of the back heal had folded in on itself and would dig into my ankle, but I think that was a result of machine washing them a handful of times (I had a white pair and the trail is pretty dusty where I walk). Only scrub these by hand and air dry them if you need to clean them.

I love these shoes! I am a nurse and on my feet for over 12 hours. My feet do not hurt at the end of the day!

I like this shoe very much. This is my third pair. I use them for walking. They are very lightweight and the material used allows my feet to breathe. They wear well. I think I got about 300 miles out of my last pair.

These New Balance WW850 shoes are very comfortable. I have a lot of foot pain and they actually feel great on my feet. The ball of my feet do feel as if they are not as padded but these shoes are better than most. They are great for warm weather but the cold air penetrates them so they would not be good for winter. They are very light. They are also very cute and do not make my size 11 feet look big like many shoes tend to do. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend these for anyone with foot problems such as heel pain, ball of foot pain, or low arches.

I am a mail carrier and work long days. These shoes make my job a little easier making my feet feel good. They are light and true to size. I will order them again. When I find a style that works for me I order them over and over.

These are really great. You can't tell that they are toning shoes because they are so cute, but at the same time they are supportive and are comfortable around the ankle. I usually wear a 7 in regular shoes, a 7.5 in sneakers and I did the same here.

Very satisfied with these shoes, sold elsewhere for much more money very pleased with service.

Great shoe. I have had several compliments on their look. comfortable. I have a wide and flat foot. Ordered a wide, feel great.

Love these, I was wearing an old pair of NW, and they were I could feel every step I took, these are like walking on air. I'm glad I ordered the Wide width as they are snug, I'm also between an 8 and 8 1/2 and went with the 8 1/2 which fits great.

Love this shoe. I work on my feet all day so I needed a comfortable shoe & this one fits the bill.

These shoes are amazing. They are lightweight and seem to do the same leg strengthening as the Shape-Ups, which I also own. I save these for vacationing because they are lightweight and more attractive than Shape-Ups. These shoes offer a lot of support to the entire foot like a running shoe but at the same time your foot feels weightless in them. I love them. I will be sad when I get the first bit of dirt on them as I have been lucky for the first month or so.

These are the most comfortable lightweight walking shoes I have owned! Due to knee surgery I have one foot that is bigger then the other and the wide fits perfectly. No complaints at all!

Comfortable, supportive, and gives a nice spring to your step. Mesh is attractive and the gray color is perfect for not looking too bright and not showing too much dirt. Excellent price through Zappos. All in all, a great purchase.

A nurse told me that this was a comfortable shoe when you are on your feet a lot. I am wearing these and she is right.

I have a wide foot, and even some wide width shoes do not fit. The wide width in these feels just fine. No breaking in period, just put them on and go.

Very comfortable! No break-in period needed. The toe box is super comfortable. I wear a 7M which is what I ordered and they're great.
