Customer Reviews New Balance WW1442 Rock & Tone

This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn!! Very lightweight but gives excellent support.

I love these shoes! I just got them because my feet got a half size bigger post pregnancy. I used to wear 7.5 and size 8 was perfect. I might order a 2nd pair. They are so comfortable!

I just bought these shoes this week and wore them for the first time today on me daily 3 mile walk. You can absolutely feel the difference and tell that it is working different muscles, in a good way. I have heard that these shoes take some getting used to but I didn\'t have any problem with them. Most shoes hurt my feet and these felt wonderful from the moment I put them on. I even left them on while doing work around the house and I never do that. I would highly recommend these shoes.

Ordered these yesterday at 3pm and they were at my door when I got home this evening. Love the free, super-fast shipping! So far, they are comfortable. Lots of cushioning. I hope they work. I always order New Balance shoes a 1/2 size larger and did the same for these. I'm glad I did.

I was looking for a black leather workout shoe. I was ready to settle for these but I didn't actually like them. I just thought I was supposed to wear this type of shoe. The "rocking" butt-firming business seemed unnecessary because that was my gym plan anyway. And quite frankly they had this "Earth Shoe" lower heel thing I cannot abide.

Searching for a nursing shoe that would be kind to my feet on a 12-hour shift, I tried these and several others. I really thought I was going to love these, but they just didn't do it for me. They were reasonably good - supportive, comfortable, and not toweringly high, but compared to the NB WW1100, they seem a little heavy and inflexible. As for style, and I realize this is weird, when I look down at my feet, they're shaped like a "Snoopy nose." Even my DH agreed, who cares nothing for shoes. Also, the tongue seemed oddly narrow.

I chose the New Balance because they look more like a regular shoe, and are lightweight. The rock is not as extreme as other brands, but it makes for a very smooth walk. The arch support is good, but not enough for me, so I added a little more. Overall, I'm pleased with this shoe. It's very cushioned, which is what I wanted. I use this shoe primarily to walk my dog on concrete or the road. I wear an 8.5, but reordered a 9 because it does feel too narrow in the forefoot, and I have a very narrow foot.

Very comfortable, and arch support felt great. Unfortunately, I will return them because the wide width is a bit snug and I have already sized up.

I purchased these about two weeks ago and have been enjoying walking in them. I have to say, though, that the wide width still feels tight across the instep and they don't seem to provide the same degree of rocking motion that a pair of Skechers did. I gave the Skechers away after just three wearings, however, as they were way tight in the only available width (medium). I hope these New Balance shoes loosen up a little, because I do like the cushioned walk they provide.

I have worn and loved the sueded leather version of these shoes. I just tried the same shoes in black leather and found the uppers to be very soft. The right shoe seems too wide and tends to crease lengthwise in the small toe region, which would become very uncomfortable over time.

Comfortable shoe but my foot moved around a lot in the sneaker and I was concerned about chafing around the ankle.

This shoe felt comfortable initially. I particularly liked the cushiony heels, but after walking around the house in them, I had ankle pain in one foot - the foot I broke this summer, so decided to go with a shoe with a flat platform. I bought the Brooks Addiction V-strap instead. Great shoe!

Loved the feel and support of the sole but the tongue did not cover between the top laces and felt thin and uncomfortable. Had to return.

I got this shoe for the comfort factor and it is very comfy and helps my joint pain considerably, but after only 2 weeks or so of normal wear, one of the shoes is coming apart. Luckily I got mine on sale, and as much as they are comfy I wont buy another pair. My low rating is due to the poorly made shoes.
