Customer Reviews New Balance WW1300v1

I use this shoe for golf. They are a bit stiff however they fit true to size and are what they say they are, WATER POOF!!

I've been on the hunt for a great walking shoe for 4 months. I like the look of this shoe. I ordered a 12D, my normal NB shoe size. Agree with other reviewers that the color appears more a blue than a grey. But still very attractive. I like the style. They have an excellent arch support and great rigid, but cushiony support under the foot. They feel so much better than the other 12+ NB styles I've been trying over the last few months. Nice rugged sole too. However, they do feel slightly narrower than my expectation of a 12D based on my other NB shoes. The D/wide width feels more like a B/medium width. Also the toebox feels a little smaller than what I would expect in a 12D. Still have room enough room in the toebox, it just feels "close" and would like them just a little bit bigger. I can only wear them with a thin sock which wouldn't work for hiking when I wear thicker wool socks. My other issue with these shoes is the SHORT length of the laces. I barely have enough shoestring length left after lacing them to make a teeny-weeny itty-bitty bow tie in the laces and the bow has no tails. I suspect they might often come untied on a walk and I'd be constantly re-tying them. I don't notice the heel slippage other reviewers mention, but I do use all the lace holes and use a special way to lace them through the last hole (Fleet Feet showed me) to help keep the heel in place, which is also why I probably don't have much shoestring left to tie. The shoestrings should definitely be longer. I guess I could go separately buy longer shoe laces too. Am reordering these shoes in the Extra Wide to see if that makes a difference in fit for me. And maybe I'll get lucky and they'll have longer shoelaces too because of the wider width??? Fingers crossed!!

Almost! Great style/material/look, great structure/stability for hiking. Fit my wide toebox and orthotic, but length was 1/2 size too long, even with a thick sock. Returning.

I was so sad these didn’t work for me. I loved them, so supportive and comfortable. I walked in them with various socks and my heel slipped out. I have never had this issue with any shoe. It was very strange. I may try another pair as it could have been a manufacturing fluke. Very pretty blue.

I've been looking for a navy blue, and these are blue, New Balance shoe for a long time. These fit the bill. I wear an 11 wide and at first the shoes seemed a bit shallow (not deep enough for my feet) and my heel was slipping slightly. After removing the insoles they fit much better. The bottoms are now rather hard, but I'll be wearing these with heavier socks so they should be just fine. And there's lots of room for my toes. Best of all I really like the the way they look with jeans.

Beautiful and warm.
