The wide size was not available, apparently, in the black 813. I regrettably ordered anyway in the standard width. That was a mistake. The shoes are too tight but it was too much trouble to return them. I will use them anyway.

These shoes are so uncomfortable, I bought Dr. Scholls gel soles, and the shoes are still uncomfortable. The shoe doesn't bend that much when walking. Kind of regret purchasing them.

I ordered this shoe because it is hard to find a narrow size shoe. It seems OK so far, but at this price I expected a little more.

Quality nicely designed walking sneaker. One flaw overrides all else and I hope it will go away after a breakin period. Every time I take a step air escapes from the heel making a squishing sound.

It's probably just my feet but my older 813s fit perfectly to size and width but this newer issue, in black, is tighter and even painful for one foot.
I'd also recommend:
I, personally, stick with New Balance.

I bought a 102E which was the size I had in the shoe I was planning to replace. Alas this shoe appeared to run narrow to me and I could barely get it on. I checked that the correct size was sent (well at least it was marked as I expected) and so returned it. But I could feel that the sole of the shoe felt nice as far as I could get my foot in.

Not a sneaker. A work shoe. A little confusing on the site.

This is OK. The quality just doesn't seem to be there. I still use my 812's which are 5 years old and I love them. They used to have narrow sizes but don't anymore except for some styles. I am disappoint in New Balance. Will start hunting again.

Since I have difficulty finding size 16 narrow shoes that fit I typically order several at a time and return those that don't fit well. This was one of the latter. It was too narrow and the toe box a bit tight. I had better luck with the 923 v3 tho.

I wear a size 13 4E shoe. I was hoping for a more flexible and softer shoe due to my having severe neuropathy and Lymphedema on my left side, plus finger toes. I have been wearing New Balance for a very long period. I am trapped because New Balance is one shoe that I usually put my trust into. Lately, your shoes have become inflexible and the leather to hard for the bigger shoes. I should really give the shoe a 2-star rating, but will give it a break.

My only shoes. I love them until they literally fall apart. Planned obsolescence or just poor quality? I keep buying them, but one would expect more from a basic walking shoe that costs a hundred dollars. Perhaps I should switch back to Brooks as they carry a 4E as well. I do appreciate the prompt shipping and always correct order.

I tried the shoes for 3 walks and they now will collect dust. I gave 3 stars because the shoe is well constructed but not a good fit for me. Back to the drawing board.

I purchased these shoes believing that they were a newer generation of the 811's that I have that fit well. They're not the same. Although I ordered the same size (11.5 4E) , they are narrower and uncomfortable. Also, I have numerous other pairs of NB shoes and except for the ones with GoreTex, all have ventilation holes to allow perspiration to dissipate; the 813 has none on top nor on the sides. I returned these to NB.

I loved the last pair. This one is not as comfortable. It was not available in your store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, so I had to take a chance and order it online. Also, one minor but important point about all your shoes: the laces are always too long and I have to replace them.

I previously had the NB 847 shoe and it was great until the sole came apart. These looked very similar with same review ratings and were $ 20.00 cheaper so I thought I'd try them. The first problem was the length was longer -- same shoe size 9 4E -- and I had to add heal pads to prevent excessive slipping on the heal.The width was good but length was long in both shoes. The second was the type of shoe strings used will NOT STAY TIED. When walking the dog at a local park I had to retie both 3 times within a 1/2 mile loop. Replace the shoe strings before trying to do any serious walking. With heal pads and new strings the 813 is actually a good shoe. With different string I would give the shoe a 4 Star rating.

I use these for cycling to replace an old pair of 811s with velcro (to keep laces out of the sprockets). They work for cycling, but I would not be happy if these were used more for walking. The elastic on the velcro does not allow a snug to tight fit of the shoe, which I prefer. The 811s do not have the elastic and allow a fairly tight fit, though never as tight as a laced shoe. These would be great if they did not have the elastic on the velcro. As it is, they are OK.

The 928 use to be a great shoe until they started making the tongue way to short which makes the shoe a bother and not comfortable. I had to purchase the 813 because it has a tongue that is comfortable. It isn't the quality of the 928 as far as sole but at least it is wearable. I have complained for years about the short tongue on the 928 so finally had to try another. Next time will purchase a competitor.

I bought these shoes before and they fit perfectly with my braces when I got them this time, my braces won't fit. However, they are very comfortable without my braces.

The shoe was at least a full size too small and it felt narrower than it should be. I checked the size marked inside the shoe and confirmed it was marked correctly, but it was nowhere close to what I expected it to be. I have a size 11 and I could hardly get my foot in the show. It felt like a size 10 or smaller.
