I am disappointed with these shoes because they are very "stiff" and uncomfortable. They feel too short because of the composition of the material. I had hoped they would be a softer shoe.

After wearing Brooks for a number of years, I switched back to New Balance. I wore my new pair of 813s for the first time walking my dog today and couldn't wait to get home and get them off. No cushioning and too small.

Very disappointed. Can not wear with socks. The lack of support is very disheartening.

First time they were too big, second time they were too small. Guess I'm one of those people who shouldn't buy shoes online. Orders arrived fairly quickly (even delivered on a Sunday), but if sizes are so that odd that from one size to the next that they don't fit, I need to be trying them on in the store, not waiting two weeks for shoes to go back and the next order to finally arrive. I won't be ordering online again.

The fit is great. The problem for me is that I walk in the park trails and the sneakers get dirty. These sneakers have areas that cannot be washed. The sneakers had to be retired quite quckly because of the looks.

Needs more Height in entire toe box but especially by the pinkie toes - but the actual width is fine. It is like the arch support goes all the way across the shoe instead of just in the arch area, which does not feel good to me - however this is true for OBOZ hiking shoes and boots and that does not seem to bother younger women. The shoe does not have enough padding – a hard but flexible sole.

Not so good. I have very low arched, different sized (8.5 and 8.75) narrow feet, so I am a challenge to fit. These shoes gripped my upper feet in a way that hurt. They may have been a good fit in time, but I didn't want to risk my money so I returned them. Hope they work out for someone else!

I’d love to give these shoes the benefit of the doubt, but considering that I couldn’t even wear them around the house when I ordered them, I can’t. I ordered my normal shoe size and width, which is a medium width, and I could barely fit my feet in the shoes. I tried them on with socks, since that’s how I would normally wear them, and the shoes were far too tight and uncomfortable. My toes were right at the tips of both shoes and there was no room at all to wiggle them. The width was also very narrow throughout the whole shoe. Granted, there’s excellent arch support and heel support, but if I were you I’d order a larger size.

The design is poor (especially the toe). When you have the shoe one, your foot looks short and very broad.

Looking for a black shoe to replace and old pair of WW811's. I ordered my normal size 6.5 EE and these were too tight. Wish they still made the 811's. I have New Balance 877SB that fit great in 6.5 EE. I'll keep looking at black shoes.

I ordered these Walking Shoes including the brand because my Specialist Foot Doctor strongly prescribed them. I did not find them very helpful for my condition of flat feet or alleviating impending other foot problems. They were not comfortable for me. My previous shoes that this doctor criticized are more comfortable. So, I returned the New Balance Walking shoes.

I have been a long time wearer of New Balance shoes but this order was a big disappointment. They were a poor quality, very bad stitching where the tongue meets the rim of the shoe and hurt very badly to walk a little. I returned the shoes UPS. The insole cushioning wasn't very good also. Sorry. I wouldn't recommend this model to anyone.

I bought this for my wife. She tried it once and did not like it. She says it is not comfortable at all. She gives it to my 10-year-old son who does not care what kind of shoes he wears. I do not bother to return it. After long time research, I still bought a pair of wrong shoes. It is recommended to try it before purchase. Of course, this is feasible for online shopping.

I tried this on in a shop before buying on line. The usual size 8.5 I wear, felt fine in store. However, the one I received on line felt smaller. It also does not give my feet arch support. I replaced the insoles with orthotics which did not seem to help. It also rubbed my pinkie toe and caused blisters. I guess I just have problem feet

I have worn first the 810, 811, 812 for many years. They were the perfect walking shoe for me. But the 813 was a drastic change. The 813 is shorter. I wear 7 1/2. It's too short and too tight. Tried the 8 and it was too long. Before the heel fit well, now it's too wide. My understanding is the SL 2 last has a wider toe box and narrow heel which the previous models did. The 813 does not. The toe box is shorter and the heel is wider. What was once a good shoe isn't any more.

The shoe is cut a little high on the heel area, so rubs, very stiff and tight. May be ok once worn for awhile, but almost had blisters. Very hard to walk in because they were so stiff. Sure not like my Hush Puppies were. It's a shame Hush Puppie has changed their style and no longer has the good one's available.

I have worn no other shoe than NB for 10 years. This is the first pair I have had for 2 weeks and still cannot wear them longer than an hour before they hurt so bad and have a pressure point up near toes on left shoe. Not even worn them outdoors just around my house. Really needed a new pair but back to the old pair until I can afford another pair.

Width is great through the toes, but can't tie the shoes tight enough to keep my heel in them. I find this happens with most New Balance.

mos uncomfortable shoes everrr. The tongue is just too thick and it's not properly sewed, hurted my feet the whole time. Wore them for a 12 hour shift and I can't even look at those shoes now. They made my feet sweaty too, on top of that after my shift they don't look new and I can't send them back. I'm not the person the kinda of person that reviews about nothing but this time I had to. I mean, does someone even tested this shoes? I can't imagine no one wearing them. First and last new balance item that I bought. Totally disappointed.

I ordered an 8 1/2 2A. They are too small. All of my other NB are 8 1/2. The toe box is rounded instead of pointed and that is making it about a 1/2 size too small. Have to return them.

9.5 regular fits me in all the other styles but this is just short on length and my toes cannot find room to straighten out to walk. Very disappointing. I can wear them but makes my feat ache and swell after a short period of time. Very uncomfortable.
