Customer Reviews New Balance WW1442 Rock & Tone

I ordered a half size smaller due to the reviews -- wrong move. Don't pay attention to this order your size. Seems like a very nice shoe. I'll try it in my size.

Fabulous shoe. So comfy. Love the slight rock. Very stable. Wear all day and night after fracturing a metatarsal. Good arch support. Would love to see more colors.

This shoe worked very well with my arthritic feet. They keep the pressure off my forefoot while standing. Now I need one just like this in mesh for summer!

One of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn - from the moment I put them on. I have a wide foot and bunion so it is really hard to find comfortable shoes. Got them in black for a trip to SA where we did a lot of city walking. Must note that I did feel muscles I had not before the day after wearing them so they do tone. Also, they made me taller, which for me was a great thing. I'm getting another pair in white.

I bought half a size larger and they were perfect. I have not been able to find comfortable athletic shoes for years and I absolutley love these. I just purchased a second pair in the tan leather to wear to work. I have knee problems and I forget about them when I am wearing these. Finally I a can begin walking again. They are also lighter than other brands.

Unfortunately, on the first wearing, the shoe pinched my baby toes so much I ended up with bloody blisters. I am so disappointed that my feet are too wide for these shoes. I love how they look, and I like the height of them.

Very comfortable from the first time putting on. They do fit like a glove and like others are saying, going down a half size was the ticket. Thanks for that tip everyone. I love them and love Zappos!

This is my second pair. I have had issues with plantar fasciitis for years, and this style really prevents me from hitting my heel too hard. It has allowed me to get back to walking after dealing with orthotics and physical therapy, both of which did not really help.

I can't believe how much I love these shoes. got them in wide and they fit like a glove immediately, no breaking them in or nothing. The arch support is awesome and the entire sole feels like firm massage gel. Very supportive, and comfortable.

These saved my feet! I have bad bunions and was about to spend a week in Walt Disney World. My podiatrist recommended these and I love them. They look nice, too, which is a plus.

I just got these shoes, I am a 7.5 but the 7 fits perferct. I have a lot of feet problems and this shoe by far is the most comfortable for walking and being on my feet all day, not working out. I can also take out the original insoles and fit my custom made insoles.

Great shoe for walking, exercising, and just about anything else. The low cut around the ankle area is so comfortable--it doesn't rub against my ankle bone.

I usually love anything New Balance, but these are very narrow.

I bought these shoes to help burn calories. I was very pleased to find that it seemed to have extra cushioning that was so much easier on my severely arthritic knees. They are also very comfortable on my diabetic feet. I really love these shoes!

This shoe was comfortable right out of the box! I have never walked in this type shoe before, but am anxious to try it out. I am an avid walker of 3 or more miles a day. I also love the fact that this shoe supports Susan G. Komen. I have walked in both the 3 Day and Race for the Cure and glad to support the cause any way I can! I am walking in the 3 Day again this year, and hopefully this shoe will be a part of that awesome experience!

I ordered a 9M and had to reorder 9W. I usually wear size 8 dress shoe. It looks long, but it fits. The wobble is not readily noticable, or a pronounced as the Avia iTone. I kept both and will see. Am recovering from bunion surgery so one foot is wider than the other, but this was too narrow for both feet in the Medium

I love these shoes! I have knee and back problems and have a hard time finding comfortable shoes, but these fit the bill perfectly. My feet feel very cushioned and padded (I've always liked the fit of NB) and almost immediately my knees feel better walking in them. I'm looking forward to exercising in them too. And thanks, Zappos, for the always-great service!

New Balance 927 8D fit great but this shoe was too tight. This is a way better looking and it was kind to my knees. Liked the less pronounced rocker style and lightness compared to MBTs.

I have always hated buying things online, especially if I had to return it. Then a few friends of mine told me about Zappos so I took another chance and ordered some shoes. Not for sure on the sizing I ordered two different sizes. I wear a size 7 and sure enough the 7 wides where the perfect fit. So far I love these Rock & Tone from NB. Zappos was easy ordering, fast service, and I will for sure order from them in the future. Also these shoes don't look as bulky as the Skechers toning shoe does.

I read that this shoe was on a narrow last so I orderd both the B and D widths. The B fit great, even with a heavy sock, and the length is very much true to size. Overall, the shoe is very lightweight compared to Skechers and MBT and also has less of a rocking motion. For very long walks, I probably will stick to my MBTs and Skechers because the greater rocking motion is easier on my back, but the WW 1442 is a terrific everyday walking shoe and may be preferred by those who value lighter weight over the greater rocking motion. I\'m very satisfied.

Best walking shoe ever! I was a long-time New Balance wearer until I had bunion surgery and was forced to wear custom orthotics. The regular NB walking shoes were too shallow in the heel to accommodate them. Decided to try these: they are extremely well-padded and I walked 2 miles on concrete sidewalks the day they arrived. I removed the innersole and put in my orthotics. These added a new spring to my step. The arch support is great, and the sole padding is phenomenal. Downside is the laces are so long I was stepping on them. The soles don't have real tread, so I don''t know how they would do in slippery conditions.

Being a store manager I am constantly walking on hard floors for over 8 hours a day. I purchased the Rock and Tone by New Balance and right out of the box and after a full day of work, my feet, legs and knees still felt like I could go for another 8 hours. I could definitely feel the difference in my step with these shoes, because the sole and heel make it easier to walk heel to toe. I would recommend these to everyone and look forward to purchasing another pair. Now, if we could get them in black or brown that would be just perfect. Thanks Zappos!

I ordered these and then saw the 1100's. I ordered those and planned to return the 1442's. No way. The rock & tone are so comfortable. I took them on a trip where we walked about 5 miles a day. They were so comfy. Do they "tone"? I don't know, but they are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

I have heel pain and was looking for a shoe to take the pressure off my painful heel. Not only was my heel achingly painful to walk on,but my knee on that side started to feel like it was giving out. I tried the rock and tone with the hope it might help. Immediately my heel pain improved and my feeling of knee instability went away. I did not have to adjust to this shoe.Actually, I was able to wear it to work for a ten hour day on the first day after purchase. I'm in health care and on my feet almost all day.it might work for you if you have heel pain.
