Customer Reviews New Balance MW1400v1

Looks better in person. Don’t overlook that the black ones are (slightly) insulated. Not enough stability (although more than the 989’s). I’m still over pronating ever with custom orthotics. Not slip-resistant for the workplace.

I wear size 10 in 5E width in New Balance running shoes, but the MW1400v1 in size 11-6E seemed no longer and too narrow in the toe box, tapering in uncomfortably on both sides of my toes. Merrill’s wide boots, for example, have a more rounded toe box and fit my wide feet better even though they are only 2E width. I wish New Balance did as good a job with hiking boots as they do with running shoes.

I was surprised because I have bought other New Balance shoes and found the sizing to be as described.

For a very wide shoe this wound up cramping my foot. Chinese foot patterns strike again!

I ordered a size 11 4E which is my normal size. These were way too small for my smaller foot, and I couldn't get it on my larger foot. While they looked good, the size was so far off, I returned them and am looking for a different boot.

The toe and heel box were perfect for me, however, the seams in the footbed were excessive and painful.

I ordered these shoes in 4E because lately my 2E shoes, from another manufacturer, where starting to feel a shade too narrow. However when I got these shoes, although they were marked 4E, they measured out to be exactly the same width as my 2E shoes. In spite of that I wore them for a while around the house to see if they were somehow more comfortable. They were more 'cushiony' than my other shoes, and didn't feel bad. I still felt like I would send them back even though there was no packing slip with return labels. Then I made my mistake. While wearing them around the house, my dog decided it was time for a walk, and I forgot to change in my older shoes and wore them outside. It was a rainy day and I got mud on them. So now I'm stuck with some nice, but not very wide shoes. I even found a site that showed the standard US widths of various sized shoes, and no, they didn't measure near what a 4E shoe should be. So I'll keep them, and when my budget allows I'll try to find another pair of hiking shoes that are as wide as they claim to be. I think though, that I'll go to a shoe store, if I can find one around here that sells the kind I want.

These seem to run wide. I ordered a "B" width and it is still too wide.

These are the first of three pairs of New Balance senakers that I have had to return. The only shoes/sneakers that have ever fit me in these past years were New Balance 8.5 EE, and Rockport 8.5 EE. The New Balance no longer fit. They seem cut a full size smaller and they are uncomfortable. I just orderered a 4th pair, diffrent style, in my size and I'll see. If that doesn't fit I'll try one size eihter bigger or wider. Hopefully one pair will work out. I have never returned a pair of these walking sneakers in all these years. I hope it works out but it's not looking good!! Maybe a new company has bought them or they have been totally redesigned. Who knows--they are not the same!!

I have had this shoe before and need a new pair. I think I have owned at least three previous models of this boot. However, this version is definitely being made cheeper than the previous models. The upper two hooks for the lace were space wrong in my opinion. Hard to lace, really had to work to get the lace in the top hook because the space seemed too close. Also, the laces were too short, hard to tie. Construction seemed of a lower quality than others boots I have looked at in this price range. Too bad, really liked previous models of this boot. I returned them.

I wear a size 15 narrow shoe so I was looking forward to this shoe. Unfortunately they feel like a size 14.

This is the worst designed shoe I've ever worn. The hooks for the laces are on the sides of the shoe, guaranteeing that they will catch the shoelace loop of the adjacent shoe and trip me. I've had to tuck my loops under the criss-cross ties, but doing so tends to loosen the lace over time; and sometimes the loop works loose and I trip anyway. The design that this replaced was perfect (model 1569BR). Why did you have to replace it? I need new shoes and I'm disappointed to see that you haven't abandoned this model and returned to something more functional. Also, the width is narrower than my other 2E New Balance shoe, pinching my toes.
