Worst shoe laces ever. They will not stay tied.I must tie them 2 dozen times a day.

Although I feel 'New Balance Quality' is not what they used to be, these shoes are perfect. What really frightens me... In the women's shoes, there are not very many white ones being made. It is all the bright crazy colors made for the younger gals.
It's the first time in my life that I order a pair of shoes at night, and the very next morning they are on my front porch. Zappos is the best!

I wanted to like these, but alas it wasn't going to be. I used to wear New Balance 811 and they fit perfectly, you could remove the insole for your own orthotic and the leather wasn't all stiff. These shoes, the insole can not be removed without force and placing my orthotic over the non removable insole made the shoe impossible to get my foot into. Plus, there was no arch support and it made my bunion hurt. Back to looking for something else.

I bought these because they seemed to be the model most similar to WW812, which I liked a lot but are no longer being made. The length feels the same but they feel quite a bit narrower than the 812s, both in the body of the shoe and in the sole. Walking in these shoes feels less stable than walking in the 812s.

They do not hold up. I purchased in June 2020 and in January 2021, the bottoms have a large crack and wear through on one and the beginning on the same on the other. I feel betrayed by the terrible quality of the New Balance brand. I walked about 2 miles on blacktop roads and concrete sidewalks 3 to 4 times a week and this is how they hold up. I’m a long-time NB wearer asking you to beware before you purchase these. (I would have given much higher marks if they were quality.)

Love Zappos. I have Rheumatoid arthritis and have multiple issues and pain in my feet. I have to wear custom inserts to make walking possible. Zappos is the best source to find a shoe that fits the insert. My feet thank you and so do I.

More feminine look than some of the others. Almost a lacey look to them.

The shoes are easy to clean & maintain for somebody for a family member who had a stroke. It's easy to place on your feet.

After having a stroke a few years ago and trying to find the right shoe to accommodate my AFO, I found these which are a perfect fit. And since this is the only shoe I can where I appreciate finding them. Could you make them in a dark blue?

I wear my new shoes every day. They help me with my balance and I have not fallen since I started wearing them. I have CP so that is a concern. My podiatrist recommended them and I could not be happier.

I have been purchasing the same new balance walking shoes yearly for about 20 years now. They always give me the perfect amount of support. This year - I knew I needed some additional arch support so I also purchased the 3/4 New Balance arch stability insoles and they are a winning pair! Perfect!

Love the fit! I feel stable in them. It’s very comfortable with or without my orthopedics in them. Wish NB would design better looking shoes for women in this style shoe with the rollbar

Have only worn once, but love them so far. I have a wide foot and the toe area is very roomy.

This is my second pair of 813. I do a lot of walking and standing throughout the day and these shoes fit my needs perfectly.

I have worn New Balance walking shoes for years and been well satisfied. These shoes seemed as though they would be fine but as I tried them out, I found that the left one seemed slightly short. I have returned them and gone to a New Balance shoe store and purchased style 928 which is great. Very comfortable.

Fit and size were great. These were NOT made in our country - they were made in Indonesia (see tag.) Bought in June 2020 and the soles had worn through the bottoms by January 2021. Very poor quality. So disappointed because I’ve worn new balance for over 20 years for the arch support. I bought a Saucony Echelon 8 shoe as replacement and they’re great!

I walk everywhere and these shoes are the best for my feet. I'm not as tired after a longer walk.

Best place to buy walking shoes especially for people who need width & stability. While vacationing in New York City I walked for hours without painful feet in my New Balance shoes. They look & feel amazing. I was always told never skimp on shoes or eyeglasses !!! These shoes are worth the money.

I am a teacher and do a good bit of standing. Not only do these shoes have cushion but the extra support of motion control is a real plus. I used to buy the 928 until they got so expensive. These do fine.

I've worn this shoe for years, but just moved up to a size 11 D. My old ones are garden shoes and I felt my toes being scrunched, so I bought another 11 and moved my pretty new ones to the garden. Expensive, but at least my feet won't hurt, as my knees already do!!!
