Customer Reviews New Balance MW813 Hook and Loop

My husband needs these because he wears braces and these are the best fit. It would be wonderful if when he needed them we didn't have to wait 6 months to try to get them

I have a hard time finding shoes to fit my wide feet but thankfully, New Balance has a better selection than most shoe makers. I've worn this shoe in a 10 1/2 4E and its a good fit for me. The one improvement I would hope they could make would be to lessen the upward curvature of the shoe toe. Researchers are finding that the curve weakens the foot and sets the stage for related foot problems. The shoe would be a little more stylish if the curvature was a little less pronounced. I'll continue to buy it but it can be improved.

Christmas gift- early- for my Father. He loves them.

I've purchased these several times and they were always excellent until my latest brand new out of the box pair. Within a a few days the entire sole on both sneakers began to disintegrate and crumble off in chunks. Shoe Mall would not replace them. They were so new they even still had their paper stuffing!

I have purchased this walking shoe many times and never have been let down. It comes in wide sizes, its durable and comfortable. I wear them about town, for work in catering - it's a great shoe!

I have had more than one pair of these and the glue fails, the upper separates or the tread comes off. They are a trip hazard when this happens.

This is a very comfortable walking with good support.

Upon receipt I noticed they looked more like slippers than shoes. Seemed be be of good quality, but don't look like sneakers.

I wear New Balance Model 813 hook and Loop shoes every day. I have three pairs which I rotate. They are very comfortable and give me great support. The Hook and Loop closures are great for a person with arthritis.

I think the shoe is very nice but it did not fit me. The MW813 is too wide in the heel and is way out of the SL-2 last specification, which calls for a narrow heel, which this shoe is built upon. The 8.5, 2E was too big, and the 8, 2E was too small. Also found the white model seem to fit better that the black model. The black had sizing consistency problems with some too big, and others too small. Some black shoes had one shoe bigger than the other shoe. I ended up returning or giving away whatever I had. It was very disappointing to me because I had a pair of MW811 and MW812 shoes that fit fine.

My son has Down syndrome, which causes him to have flat feet. His physical therapist suggested these shoes with 'roll bar' technology. She said that they would help his feet and be more economical than orthotics. We have been using them for years and they work great. The 'roll bar' shoes are the only ones we buy for him. They come in a couple of styles so can be dressier, casual, or walking/running. I highly recommend roll bar shoes.

Have purchased many pairs over the years and appreciate the consistent quality.

First, I'd like to say that I've had a couple of different NB shoes. The "sneakers" always seemed to fit fine and were comfortable to wear. I purchased some Velcro strapped "work" shoes a while back that didn't fit, even though they were supposed to be extra wide, they just didn't have a high enough instep to fit my foot right. WELL, that is the case with these shoes. I have to have black per uniform requirements, so getting all black shoes is a must, but for some reason NB just doesn't design their "work" shoes the same way they design their "sneakers" and as a result, they don't fit right. Now, granted I may have an unusual foot shape, but I'm sure there are other people out there that have a high arch and instep that means that they need support in the arch and room to move in the instep and across the top of the foot. So it is for this reason that I'm giving only a 3 star review. I hope this helps others out there with similar foot shapes.

Have used shoes for years. Now a shoe arrives with flap not sewed and stuffing coning out. Now faced with long period getting through by phone?
