These are nice shoes EXCEPT for one thing: The back of the shoe is too low. It made it hard for me to get the shoe on. Even worse, the shoes wouldn't hold on to my heels as I walked, and my feet kept slipping out. A smaller size wouldn't fit, so that's out. I'm putting the shoes in the mail to Zappos today.

Unfortunately, these were a tight fit despite being wide width. Plus, the new way NB marks the shoe number on the tongue is really ugly.

these are not what i wanted however, i purchase new balance because they are american made and provide great support for someone that has to work on cement floors all day. i am really disappointed that you have discontinued the 801 and 803 shoe. being disabled with serious knee problems these shoe styles provide great support and no lace tying which is a necessity for someone that can't bend or go on one knee to tie shoes. please reconsider this shoe style for those that desperately need it

So disappointed I can hardly stand it. The 811 and earlier shoe where wonderful, the 812 was disapointing, the 813 isn't worth buying (although I now have a pair decorating my closet). I didn't mind paying more for the 811 and previous quality. I'm done - leaving NB to find a good shoe.

I tried these as an alternative to the 928V2. These ran quite narrow, but did have a round toe box. They felt narrow thru the ball of the foot. I did have to return these.

Wish the 840 shoe was still being made. It was my favorite. This is no match for the quality and cushioning of the 840. Must send back.

The color was too muted, the fit seemed too large, and the shape seemed too flat footed.

The left shoe back fell down and won't pop backinto place. Very uncomfortable. Figured couldn't be returned as I've worn them.

Not a comfortable show. I changed the shoe twice and after 5 days on a cruise my feet were so sore. Unfortunately I can't send them back. This was my first purchase from Zappos. I doubt that I would ever buy from them again.

Not much available in 4E, this one is. It's cute, but hard to wear for long. Strong support, no cushion.

A disappointment. The shoes are much lighter, the tongue is not leather and is barely wide enough to fit under the laces, I would return and get 812s again if I could find them in my size.
New Balance is the ONLY running/walking/fitness shoes I have ever purchased because the fit always was so perfect.
,. I do not wear any other athletic shoes but New Balance

This shoe does not fit like a narrow at all. It is actually wider than some medium width NB shoes. Also short in the toe for size.

These shoes seemed to lack cushioning and they slid up and down on my heels. I tried using the outer eyelets at the top in order to make the shoes more snug, but the eyelets (metal) pressed into my feet and were very painful. I am returning the shoes.

Felt a full half-size smaller, both in width and length. (I’m an 8.5 M). As some others have commented, shoelaces are cheap. Also, didn’t have much cushioning; didn’t seem like they would be comfortable even if they fit right.

Ordered same size and width as prior orders that fit well: 7 1/2 W. These came wider, longer. Even with heavy socks still too loose. Because wore them outside, cannot return them. Have # of pairs of NB I likethis was a new big disappointment.

New Balance/Brooks leather shoes have been my go to shoes for over 30 yrs and of course their styles change slightly. But lately I’m having trouble finding a pair that fits & made as sturdy as my last ones. This particular style has fewer eyelets & fewer support bands. I tried to find more expensive styles but no one has them, not Zappos or Amazon or New Balance website. I’m trying another brand but they are such a mess getting exchange or return. I appreciate well made shoes and am willing to pay if needed. I know I usually pay around $150. Is this a supple chain problem? Very disappointed.

I purchases this item as replacement for 928v3 with velcro closure which was not in stock----I was having cataract surgery and was not supposed to bend over--therefore could not tie my shoes
The quality was not as good as all my previous many purchases
sides of shoe did not come up far enough to hold the "tongue" of shoe in place
has elastic on straps--cannot get snug fit
support on sides is less than 928v3

I buy my shoes a half size large and wide because of my orthotic inserts and hammertoes. This style shoe runs small so even though I ordered up, it is too snug.

Hi I just purchased these sneakers but will be returning them because they don't offer enough support, the good thing about them is they were finally wide enough being a 4E, but I will go a half size larger for more wiggle room in the toe area.

Disappointed in the misrepresentation of the width. There is no way these were extra wide! I always buy that width at the New Balance stores, were these seconds? They were barely wide. Come on New Balance !

My disability requires specific features in a shoe which have been present in every pair of NB that I've worn. This particular style lacks any element of an arch support, and the grommets for the laces are placed closer to the toes than to the leg, causing me to walk out of the shoe even when tied.
