I have wide feet and have been wearing New Balance footwear almost exclusively since 1980. Last year I bought my 2nd pair of the 1450WK. This year I could not find the 1450WK on your website and therefore ordered the1400DB. I have worn them on 3 short hikes and will not wear them anymore. They are tight on my toes causing bleeding. I cannot get the uppers tight enough and suffered a slight rt ankle sprain. For some reason the 1450 has 8 eyelets/hooks providing more support than the 1400 which has only 6. The shoestrings are more slippery also. If I could return these shoes, I would-VERY DISAPPOINTING

Nice looking boot, but I received it and even though I ordered extra wide, it was still too narrow.

I ordered these for my husband, for Christmas. I orderedwa size 11/4E. They were not wide. He could barely get his foot in. We have to return them and go to our next option. Nice looking boot though.

Didn't fit the way that I expected they would. I ordered the extra wide but they were too tight a fit. I also didn't care for the looks of them. Very plain!! I returned them for a refund!!

These shoes ride too high on the ankle and rub, making them uncomfortable. I have purchased two pair of New Balance 911's in the past and loved them. They were cut lower and didn't rub. Unfortunately, New Balance no longer carries this model.

I bought a size 13 extra wide and it was not wide at all. It looked and felt like a standard width. Most of the time a wide is plenty big enough let alone an extra wide. I was shocked by how narrow these are. As soon as I took them out of the box my girlfriend commented on how they didn't look even regular width. Anyway, just be aware they are very narrow.

I received an email giving me the opportunity to submit a review after returning this pair. I cannot tell how this pair would hold up but from having successive iterations of this model from NB and seeing the shorter life and lesser build quality of those iterations I suspect this one to follow that trend. I suggest buying MW978 which somehow has been reintroduced and had much better build quality and durability than either of the 2 later iterations. Sadly, if you need a narrow size the selection is slim and the quality is declining so you might purchase hoping it will be better than the next.

I have been wearing NB shoes and boots for 25 years. My favorite hiking boots are NB but unfortunately, they no longer make them. I purchased these to supplement my other boots but unfortunately, these are very wide. I wear a B width. I even checked the size to be sure that they had sent me the correct size. The quality of the boots also looked to be sub standard. I will be returning them.

I've ordered New Balance footwear in a 13B for years. I ordered these boots in a 13B and the width was fine but otherwise the boot was uncomfortable and felt almost a full size to small. I've returned them and look to another brand for a hiking boot.

This is a good looking, sturdy shoe. Too bad it runs small and narrow. Despite ordering EE width, I felt my toes pinched on the sides while they butted up against the toe box. Returned.

I always buy NB shoes that are size 11.5 6E but this one was too narrow and tight, so wanted to try a 12 6E but it's out of stock

Disappointing. Excessive arch support and dole design forces a wide foot to the outside of shoe defeating the purpose of wide shoes. Very heavy, bulky, and stiff. Width seems accurate (but see observation above). Not comfortable.

They felt really good at first, but in the end did more damage to my feet. That has taken a month to recover. I would like to return them but believe I have worn them too much because they were just such a good idea. The characteristic difference between these and other New Balance shoes is that these were make in Vietnam. New Balance shoes made in the US were the best. Those from China need to be a half size larger and a full width wider. Vietnamese shoes are even smaller. This is not an indictment of China or Vietnam, but of New Balance.

I have had 2 pairs of the old model and 3 pair of of the current style. These boots, fit and feel great on my feet and have keep them dry in major rain storms and walking through 2-4 inchs of water. How every after about 3 months, it seem the sole comes apart and I have had to glue them back together and every returned one pair. The old model had the same problem. The trouble with this is the sole shows no wear. Should whole up better than 3 months.

These are hands down the most comfortable boot I've ever had! Unfortunately for the price it seems like they should have lasted longer. They lasted under a year and now have a seam coming apart on the top toe area.

New Balance: MW1400v1 SKU# 8603939 I received these 15 Feb 2017 (6 months ago) I walk my dog 2 miles each morning 6 days a week. The walk is mostly on asphalt with play time in a grassed (with dew early) field. I estimate I have 312 miles on them. The bottom black sole is wearing thru to the red on each of the heels. The NB 754 walking shoe the MW1400 replaced are showing some wear on the soles but they are over 4 (perhaps more) years old. I would not purchase the MW1400v1 if you are going to be walking on asphalt surfaces. Having to replace a $150.00 shoe/boot in 6 months is not enjoyable.I would give it 1 Star but they may last and wear well if one only walked on dirt trails. It would be nice if they came in a 12.5 size.

I'd love this boot if it had aggressive tread. It is a much better boot than others I have purchased, but I can't hike off-trail without worrying about slipping. If this boot had an aggressive hiking boot tread, it would out-perform any of the boots in its price range. I'd probably be a lifelong customer if this came with an aggressive tread.

Ordered up from 7D to 7EE and width and toe box too small. Same as occurred for my spouse. Nice looking boot, but not a fit for my foot. Returned the boots to look elsewhere.
