Customer Reviews New Balance 840v3

I have lymphadema and already a wide foot and high instep. I have a hard time finding shoes and these worked for me. Only negative is my feet got really wet walking through wet grass, and in Seattle wet is normal. Lots of compliments on these, I wish they were black instead of dark gray but the pink is a nice pop of color. New balance needs to do more color pops with wide shoes but glad to have found these. I prefer a black base with color which is almost never found in my size so these are close to perfect for me

Very comfortable sneakers..been using every day at work, affordable price plus the material itself is very good.. highly recommended to people who work on retail business who always in the floor..

When the 840 disappeared for a while I was very disappointed because these shoes worked well for my feet. I love walking but I have some age-related foot issues. I could walk long distances without any pain. These shoes work well with or without orthotics. So I was delighted to learn that New Balance came out with a newer version. They run a tad bigger than the earlier version. I measured my old 840 version to the newer ones and the newer ones definitely run larger. There is more room than I like in the heel area but I'm hoping that tying them snugly will do the trick and wearing thicker athletic socks. I would still recommend these shoes as they are a stable walking shoes and finally New Balance is making shoes like these in great colors. They look great!

Not enough room in the toe box, returned them. New Balance makes the medium width smaller now because I can no longer fit into it. yet my current medium width are like slippers.

First pair started to wear and showed year marks w/in two weeks but I live over 2 hours away from the store, so it wasn't worth the drive to return. Not as comfortable as previous purchases and I have been a loyal NB client since 1999. Second pair arrived and is not much different than the first. Comfort level is nothing like NB used to be. Inferior materials and it may be time to look for another go to shoe for this avid runner.

I am returning one pair of two pair that I purchased because they are just not at all what I expected. I am keeping one pair simply because I have worn then at least a dozen times even though they feel no better than they did with the first wearing. The tongue is very uncomfortable, I HATE the elastic shoelaces, and my feet burn the whole time I am wearing them, I have worn WR840WB for many years and NEVER had a problem or disliked a pair of them. I could wear all day long and feet were perfectly comfortable. If I could find someone who had a dozen pair of my old number shoes I would buy all of them!! Needless to say, I'll be looking for a totally different shoe in the future. If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it.

Overall, the shoe is too big. But, I found the heel was too wide. I couldn't walk with them. I wish your shoes could be consistent! I've been wearing runners for 34 years. And the past few years, the quality has plummeted. Nothing is consistent anymore. I am going to start looking at Nike's and Asics..

There is a piece that comes up very high on the inside of the shoe that rubs the foot!

Fit is narrow BUT comes up high on the sides by the ankle so uncomfortable to wear!
