I recently began physical therapy. My therapist suggested the 1540 shoe to assist with walking because I was born with Cerebral Palsy and I recently fractured my ankle in two different areas. The therapist said that the motion control would really aid in my recovery. I must say that she was ABSOLUTELY correct. This show has been a big help on my road to recovery. I wish that there were other color options available in this shoe.

The sneakers I got are great, thank you so much! I have never been treated as nicely by any other customer service in the past as I was when I had to contact customer service. This company is all about their customers and making sure you are happy.

I had foot surgery and have 3 toes fused together and repaired ligament and 8 screws on the top of my foot. I had bought another brand of shoe after my surgery and didn't like them. My foot hurt constantly in those shoes plus I walked with a limp because they didn't support my foot. I asked a clerk in the New Balance store what she would recommend. I was told that the 1540 was a great shoe for fused toes. I bought them and love them. They support my foot and also the 3 toes that are fused together, I wear these shoes all day and my feet don't at the end of the day. I am so glad the clerk recommended these shoes. They support my foot so well that I no longer walk with a limp. I had to go a width bigger but that is because my foot is still swollen from the sugery. Q

I have bought 2 pairs of these shoes now. About to order my 3rd. I love them! The style was recommended to me by my foot-doctor because I not only have a bad back but one of my legs is longer than the other. So I put in a lift to help with that. I wear them daily for back support and I wear them to train for half-marathons (though right now I'm sticking to 5ks). They are all around an excellent every day and training shoe and make my feet feel so comfortable. I have tiny feet too, so I appreciate the size options and extra widths. Normally I am a size 4.5/5 wide, but the 5.5 normals (and I've had wides too) are great with the extra sock support I use. They come with hot pink laces and dark purple laces. Since I'll wear them to work (business casual), I keep the dark purple laces. However, the pink ones are much longer.

I am thrilled with the New Balance W1540v2. I have drop foot in my right foot and over pronate. I have searched far and wide for a shoe that stabilizes my ankle and moderately corrects my over pronation. These do that! The arch support is just right for me. These fit true to size. If you are searching for a shoe that stabilizes your ankle, try these shoes! With Zappos generous return policy you have nothing to lose!

The toe box on these give me the right amount of room. I have wide feet, I order a wide sneaker and still have issues with rubbing when I buy normal sneakers. These were perfect and they give me enough room even when my feet swell.

I am amazed by these shoes. My bunion on right toe is finally happy. I power walk miles and have tried nearly a dozen shoes. After reading reviews on this one I decided to try and am so glad I did. I did have to get use to the weight of the shoe which surprised me, however after a few walk sessions I don't even notice and feel like my legs get an added benefit!

Got these in the blue with pink trim and color is gorgeous as pictured. Ordered my usual 9m and fit was perfect. I bought these for the stiff roll bar because my feet usually want to lean inwardly and these do seem to help keep my foot in proper placement. Good arch support and lightweight. Shoelaces were a little long and come with both the blue and pink. I could walk all day in these! Got lots of compliments the first day!

I had left foot bunion surgery last June and I had a very difficult time finding a shoe to fit my foot. My foot was swollen longer that I thought it would be. Thank goodness for the help that I received from a Zappos representative. He suggested that I try new Balance W1540v2. I have been wearing this shoe for this past year. I am very happy with the comfort and sturdiness of shoe. I purchased another pair recently (different color) and I am going to wear them when I see my surgeon in a few weeks. Highly recommended for use following foot surgery and for use with orthotics

Following my L foot surgery last year I was unable to find a shoe that was wide enough to fit me (due to L foot swelling). I was getting frustrated. I bought a pair of W1540v2 New Balance brand shoes . I have been so happy with my shoes that I just reordered another pair of New Balance W1540v2 They are very comfortable and sturdy. I need to followup with my foot surgeon in a few weeks. I will definitely show him how well my new shoes fit. No more foot surgery!!!!! I usually do not like to order shoes over the internet because I have to try everything on. Zappos makes it easy. They have the BEST return policy

I bought these because I have plantar fasciitis. They have great heel stability. As with all New Balance shoes I went up 1/2 size and the fit is perfect.

These fit me perfectly but I ordered 1/2 a size larger than I normally wear for running shoes (which I always order 1/2 a size larger than non-athletic shoes). They are motion control and do a good job on my low arch, severe over pronating feet, but the stability aspects make my feet look a bit clownish. Color is nice, it’s hard to find something light to help reflect heat and while the turquoise is bright it’s minimal on the shoe. Like these so far.
