Customer Reviews New Balance W1540v2

My sports medicine doctor said that this was one of two shoes for me. I have metatarsalgia so I need a stiff shoe with a toe rocker. I bought this shoe in the navy color with the pink trim. It looked the most like a runner's shoe to me of the three choices. I do have a regular foot width, but had to buy this one in a D because the standard width irritated and caused pain in the ball of my foot. I would recommend this shoe if you are bearing all of your weight on the middle of the ball of your foot. Hooray for New Balance, the shoe string is 53 inches and long enough to actually tie in a bow. The other shoe the doctor recommended is 1540, but it looks like a hospital shoe.

I went into the wide shoe store near me prepared to purchase the comfortable white but if It new balance shoes I haves worn for 25 years . I wanted color I wear a 12 4e women's with orthodic and trust me colors were white taupe ugh black and brown . I was delighted to find 3 color combos I got Both the dark blue fucia and the grey and Aqua! I was in tears as I felt like a girl finally . N ow for fit not as deep as previous so heel pulls up a bit . The insoles already have a rub hole inside by big toe My orthotic covers most of it but really need a better insole material . The show has rough edges at seams by little toes that area needs attention . They feel pretty good overall please fix the above New Balance and bring on even more colors please . Happy to wear in nursing field.

Love the feel and look of sneakers. They give my problem feet much needed support. One problem, the laces are too short.

I have owned many pairs of New Balance shoes over the years and I find the 1540 line to be an exceptional shoe especially if you have any foot problems.

My doctor recommended the 1540 years ago after hurting my heel running and playing tennis. I have bought other styles and brands but no other shoe keeps my heel pain free like the 1540. My only complaint is that the available colors are very unappealing. PLEASE redesign and add pretty colors!

This shoe is great for comfort and stability but I will not wear white as it gets dirty too easily and the mint green does not match any other article of clothing I own. NB, please make this shoe in darker gray with dark pink accents and I promise to buy them. I passed them up yesterday because I just cannot do the green again, and the white and light gray colors of the mesh look dirty within a short time when I wear these all day every day.

I like1540V2. The toe is a smidge narrower. I feel it will stretch a bit. In a week it is less noticeable. The heel back is lower,my heel stays in the shoe.I do wish they hadn't changed the 587. I was very disappointed the discount did not apply after $173.00.

I have had these for 5 weeks now.. I wear a 4e and have to have a rollbar.. I work on cement floors 10+ hours a day and with a bad back and so on I have to have the right shoe. I have been wearing B shoes for 13 years now and the last few have been a struggle to find a quality shoe in my size with the rollbar from NB a few pairs only lasted about 8 weeks and at these prices thats nuts.. I think this shoe will finally fix the problem! Thank u NB I had almost given up hope!

I have always had wide feet. I went from store to store asking if they had any 9.5 4E shoes and the answer was generally no. Thank you New Balance for having shoes that fit me. Thank you for having one pair that is not just black or white. I have given up on stylish shoes, I just want ones that fit. I will continue to buy NB for the rest of my life.

I always knew my feet were wide but I only realized a few years ago that I really should have been wearing a 7 2E. Prior to that, I had worn 8.5/9 regular width, depending on how narrow the shoe was. I also have flat arches, and these shoes provide decent support. I walk a lot because I live in NY. I really wish you guys would make these shoes in black. Although you have the postal shoe and another style in black, they don't give enough support and don't fit me as well. I would love it if you could even customize as I have bought tons of other shoes from New Balance, but I can't wear the other styles anymore because my feet are actually in more pain. Please make this in more colors! Even if it's just black.

The width of this shoe is great! I'm glad this is not white. I wish it had a thicker insole.

My feet feel constricted and get sore after an extended period of time in these shoes. I bought another less expensive model, and they fit beautifully

I purchased these for the first time and got the same size as I get in the 928. I wanted some different color for summer. I wore them first with the laces just as they were out of the box. They gave me a red hot spot under the tongue. I finally removed the laces from the place holder sewn on the top of the tongue. That did help some but this is the first time I have gotten red hot spots from the ties of my laces on any athletic shoes on top of my feet. I am not sure why it happened. Otherwise the shoe is now comfortable enough to wear all day but the 928 is more comfortable for me when I spend all day on concrete. I do add the Pressure Relief Insole to all my shoes. They do seem a little smaller then the 928

Runs way way too large. Huge toe box. The heel doesn’t have a lot of give.

Had to orde 4 E because of bunion . Shoes are wide enough, but feel clunky need longer tongue.
