Customer Reviews New Balance WW1400v1

I was looking for a pair of lightweight, waterproof boots that I could use for snowshoeing. I'm not a fan of other popular winter boots; they are heavy and usually don't fit well because of the thickness of the insulation. These are just right, and I know that they will double as good trail shoes in the spring "mud season" as well. I tried these on in the store in November, but they didn't have them in a D width. They fit all right with thin socks, but I thought they'd be snug with winter wool socks on. I ordered them online, which I have never done with footwear before), and they are PERFECT! My husband thinks they are a little stiff, but I have no complaints so far (with less than 10 miles on the shoes).

I only do "urban hiking" but love this shoe for wet winter weather. I have an older version in nubuck but was pleased to get this one in black with the teal trim. Though not as sleek as my dress booties, I find that I defer to these with slacks or jeans when I am out mall walking or hopping as I finish my holiday shopping, or hitting all the different grocery stores or in the process of getting in my ten thousand steps without having to sacrifice foot comfort. As I hit the parks and streets to take late fall and winter photos much more practical than my standard athletic shoe.

This shoe good fit and comfort and so far well constructed. I do wish they could be resouled but guess it is now a throw away society. I can get about 1500 to 2000 miles from a pair until they start hurting my feet. Mileage is according to my phone health ape. I walk about 5 miles a day minimum. This is pasture land that is hilly, rocky, and sandy, so need a sturdy shoe to last more than a month. New Balance hiking types have done the job for me for more than 5 years now

These look great, but I need surgery on my foot. I can't bend my big toe enough to get it into the shoe.

I purchased the 12 narrow, and though I'm technically a 11.5 AAA, I put true to size because I understand that sports shoes run a half size short. The previous models ran a little short for me in a 12, so I was worried. These are perfect. When I cinch them up, I feel so secure that I'm ecstatic because as far as I know there are no boots that come in narrow over size 11 in the whole country. I've only had them a few days, but they've already been storm tested, and I took them out on a muddy trail. Most women my shoe size are tall, so thank you New Balance for giving us options. These are not heavy back packing boots, but I find them very supportive. I need the motion control for support due to loose ligaments. Many people hike in sneakers these days, so they'd probably work for a couple days trek. It's one thing for boots to fit and another for them to be comfortable. These are both. If you're actually a 12, your toe might touch the end, but I actually have toe room , so maybe they would work for you too. More than just pleased!

ROLLBARS ARE THE WAY TO GO I COULD NOT WALK WITHOUT THEM

I put on my new shoes to break in before I go on a hiking trip, there was no need for it. They are so comfortable. I love them. The only problem I have is that I need a higher arch in them; after I wear them for a while I feel a pull in my calf. This not because of the shoes. I feel it is my foot need a little boost on the side.

There was no adjustment period. Long comfortable "tongue" and the bootstrap on the back is large enough to get a finger through. (Not all are.) And I prefer the grey color to an all black, so I'm happy they went with this color. I go for functionality over style, but this has both.

Love the colors, the fit and especially the look. Lately I'm in between 11ww and 12ww. Ordered the 11ww and had to return it because it fit to snug with socks on. The 12ww fits great. Ordered both colors in 12ww. Very comfortable feel and did I say I love how they look?
