Ordered and received two leather walking shoes. Size was fine and the shoes are reasonable quality. However one pair squeaks as I walk. It's not really a squeak but a rub of some sort. They are reasonably comfortable, unlike mesh sneakers, they help keep my feet warm on cold days and dry in the rain. These shoes were NOT made in America as I thought they would be.

I needed a large toe box but surprisingly the shoe ran small where my toes were hitting the front. The styling of the shoe is a little clunky and not very attractive. It was returned.

I have worn New Balance for many years. I am 81 years old, I think your cutting corners in manufacturing. Not as good as they were in thepast

I have bought New Balance shoes for over two decades. One primary reason was they were always USA made. No longer. Very disappointed that this latest pair was made in Indonesia! This will probably be my last pair of NB shoes...

813 fits and feels fantastic. It is lighter in weight and appearance is comparable to previous styles. If this shoe holds up under working conditions it should be okay??

The 813 quality is not as good as the old 812s. The tongue is poor quality and not as substantial as the 812. Not sure I would recommend the 813.

I had originally purchased model MW928BK1 (maximum arch support) at a New Balance store. I have extreme pronation issues, so I need that model, but I noticed this model when looking through the support shoes on the New Balance site. When I asked about it when I purchased the MW928BK1, the manager said they didn't carry it, but looked it up on the Zappos site, which I suddenly realized I could have done myself in the first place. Anyway, despite the fact that it has noticeably less support, it is much lighter in weight, has a perfect fit, and is easy to walk in. I guess I'll use it for shorter distances, but I am definitely happy with this purchase.

I purchased these for my husband, who is handicapped, and at first he loved them, after about 3 days he was complaining that they were too loose and he felt insecure while wearing them. When I looked more closely, the strap is attached with a piece of elastic and it was very stretched out, when I tightened the Velcro strap it extended well past the contact point and it caught on his walker, even though I had trimmed it to the shortest length indicated. He really liked being able to get his shoes off himself and I'm sorry they didn't work out for him, possibly there will be a design modification in the future and we'll try them again.

Don't buy these if you're obese. Get the taller, more cushiony New Balance MW928.

The MW813 was not my first choice (MW928, ruinously redesigned by NB), not my second choice (MW857, not comfortable) but it is the shoe I ended up buying. I can't lace it as tight as I like but I can wear it all day without pain and cramping in my feet.

Expandable stretchy anchor loop for the straps is so stretchy as to be useless. Straps over shoot and stick out, ruining looks.
Shoe construction and fit are good, New Balance quality.

I purchased the NB 813 since the NB 812 was no longer available. The difference, to me, was the 812 was produced in USA. I do not like the 813, it does not have the same feeling as the 812. I am still wearing the 812 over the 813. It is a different shoe.

I have always preferred NB to other brands, but the 813 with the loop & Velcro straps are not as form fitting or as comfortable. Both pair cause pain in the small toe of my right foot, whereas my laced NB shoes do not.

I had read some reviews that said that the 813s were a low cost replacement for the 928v3 model.
Well, not even close. I wish they'd continue the 928 line. Pricey, but exceptional quality

Arrived with a velcro strap that was folded back over the shoe. Although I attempted to straighten the strap, it remains curled up, which is extremely unsightly. I am very unhappy with the lack of quality control prior to boxing up the shoes.

I have owned New Balance shoes for decades, most notably every incarnation of the 990 running shoe and some others. These days I mainly use the shoes for walking. I was excited to get New Balance walking shoes to wear everyday with jeans. When I tried these on, I had difficulty getting the right shoe to feel comfortable. I finally noticed that the tongue on the right shoe was sewn in such a way that it curled even with extra effort trying to prevent it. The left shoe did not have this defect. So, I returned the shoe without ever wearing it.

I am a 2 wide and these newbalance are a little too wide from ,the other new balance 928v3. I love the 928v3 they are perfect I have been buying them every year since they made them ,I use them for work,but the new balance 813 not that great but the best part of the 813 nb. Is the shoes laces , they should put better shoes laces on the 928v3 cause the stink , they don't stay tied , and a lot of people are saying the same , stop being cheap new balance I will pay 50 cents more for better laces the new balance 823 not that comfortable on a scal 1-5 I score them a 2 1/2amd that's because the laces are high quality great laces that stay laced all day, again put those laces on the 928v NB.
