Customer Reviews New Balance WW1765

FYI, these are dark grey, not black. Without any advance wearing, these shoes were perfect for tromping around Ireland. They are light-weight, cool and look great. I bought a pair of purple/pink NB "bubble laces" to jazz them up here at home, but the laces that came with them did not come undone.

Great solid shoe! Exactly the right size in fit and width. I walk dogs so this is a very comfy shoe for walking.

I saw this shoe recommended on The TODAY Show as a great walking shoe. I have been looking for a replacement to a pair of shoes that I walked to death and was at wit's end trying to find a pair that worked until I ordered these. The are flexible, supportive, comfortable, stylish and I do love the color. In fact, thanks to the first reviewer who was disappointed that they were not black, alerted me to the fact that they were charcoal grey with orchid. I did not want another pair of black shoes going into the spring. (They do look blacker in the photo.) The fit is true to size. I have walked about 8 miles with them so far and I am happy with the fit, support and comfort - no regrets.

Love this shoe in Black/Pink combo tried to get it in the Black/Purple combo and was shipped Black/Pink two times, so I gave up and had to return them. The website says the Purple is available, but when they arrive, they are Pink. Something is messed up in the inventory system and I can't get anyone to look in the box before sending. I'm trying to find them in Purple elsewhere before the style gets discontinued. Disappointed.

These NB are so stylish and I love the color. But...back they go. I wear orthotics, and the heel was not deep enough even with the inner liner removed. Thanks Zappos for free shipping and easy return.

Comfy shoes, true to size/width (I wear a wide) & room for an orthotic if necessary. I have a high arch so I bought a Dr. Scholl's fitness insert and they're perfect fit. Good quality & lack of breaking in period surprised because normally it takes a few wears for this to happen. Love the gray/pink color for any time of year. Going to buy another pair for a backup!

A little disappointed with the quality for price I paid. I ordered wide but they run slightly narrower than other New Balance ordered in the past. They are light and feel like walking with canvas shoes.

Shoes look purple in pic but are really more pink when they arrive, disappointed. Otherwise seem like a good shoe.

I usually love New Balance shoes, but unfortunately these shoes just did not work for me. Way too uncomfortable and the color is really gray, not black.

This is a great shoe (ordered it in blue/white also), but the color name is incorrect. This is NOT black. Charcoal grey is a better description. Disappointed.

I ordered my usual 7W and these shoes are still too narrow. I wore them around the house and by the end of the day my heels were hurting. They felt good in the beginning but as the day progressed it got worse. I am returning them today. I ordered two other pairs that hopefully will be better.

I bought these shoes because I wanted a shoe with a roomier toe bed and had always experienced more room in New Balance. However, these shoes don't seem to be any larger in the toe area. Probably ok for the average foot but not good for me. They aren't comfortable and hard to work out in them.

I have owned numerous pairs of New Balances through the years, unfortunately this is the first time I don't love the shoe! The color combination is great (pink and gray)! However, the fit isn't great! I've been running and working out in them for about 6 weeks. They have stretched a lot, plus the support in the heel bed is minimal. I can use them for day to day activities, but I had to buy another shoe for working out purposes. Kind of disappointing since the shoe was not cheap.

I am so sorry to have to return this sneaker, but the D width does not feel like my previous NB wide. It is nice and lightweight with excellent arch support. Thanks Zappos for being the best of the best!

Very disappointed. I have been using New Balance for 20 years. Not the quality I am used to - not enough padding in footbed, narrow toe box, hardly any arch support.

This shoe is good for running errands but lacks the padding I have come to expect from this brand. Normally the size I ordered - 8 1/2 wide - gives me room for orthotics. These did not -- but they are comfortable for routine every day use. I will not be using them for my 3 plus mile walks. New Balance discontinued the style I had been wearing so I'm still looking for replacements.

I hate the shoe. It does not have enough cushioning for me. After walking less than 1/4 mile both ankles and back hurt. Please design a shoe like the old rock and tone's.

I really love NB shoes. But these were just too stiff for me. I learned from a pro that walking shoes should be "twisty." Meaning you should be able to easily twist the shoe with your hands. So sadly these are going back.

Run narrow. Ordered wide, but they feel like regular width. After a few hours of walking in the mall, my toes became numb. They are cute, so I can wear them for short outings, but not for an entire day. I'm disappointed.

I just recieved this shoe in blue. I have worn NB narrow, size 8 1/2 for years with my orthodic inserted, but this shoe ran narrow and short. I should have read more of the reviews.

I was happy to find this shoe in a 10.5 size, as that's a hard size to find, but I'm glad I went a half size larger because this shoe has little to no padding inside (that's what keeps it lightweight), so I needed the space to add insoles and arch supports. Due to the lack of padding, after walking for exercise, my feet and ankles hurt, even with the insoles. I was sad because I was led to believe New Balance were the best walking shoes on the market, but I think I'm going to go back to my old Nikes.

This is not a wide width, nor does it have the toe box room New Balance used to hail in a walking shoe. New Balance no longer provides shoe last info so I imagine in an effort to save their a**es they only use one shoe last now so it's no longer and individualized fit. NB was the only shoe I could fit to my funky feet... so thanks for nothing, NB.

Sorry to say that I must return these shoes. They are much too wide, a lot more than the usual medium, especially in the heel where my foot slips up and down, even with thick socks, a recipe for blisters. Also, they don't provide enough overall support.
