Customer Reviews New Balance WA85v1

I really love these shoes. I was looking for something lightweight and good for waking, but also stylish. These are really cute on, and lightweight. They are breathable as well. I got the wide and there is plenty of room. They feel athletic in that they have good support. I wore them for 48 hours of flying and waking through airports with a good pair of stance socks and my feet were perfect. They didn't hurt at all and they weren't tired. Didn't swell up because they weren't hot. Bonus is that the laces are kind of flat and thinner than normal and they stayed tied and were easy to tie as well. I highly recommend these shoes.

Very cute, very comfortable right out of the box. Run a little wide, but that is fine with me.

These shoes are really comfortable, true to size and too cute!

Cutest she ever! (For it's type) returning as it rubs a surgical scar. I need a seamless toe box.

Seriously, these shoes are super comfy. I was looking for something comfy due to a foot issue and these are perfect. I am not a speed walker, but not a turtle either. These are just what i was looking for. My only fashion concern is that they are multi colored and I like to be color coordinated and this presents a teeny challenge. ;)

I LOVE these shoes. I think these are the most comfortable walking shoes I have purchased in years; and I have purchased some super expensive styles and brands in the past. Clearly, not all shoes work for all people; however for reference I have funky feet that can feel fatigued by the end of a walk or for the rest of the day after a walk. I have not experienced that foot fatigue while wearing these or afterwards. I got them in the gray/green-a great color for Fall rather than super bright spring/summer colors.

I ordered a 12w shoe, really liked how they looked. However, they were a little too narrow to wear with a thick sock, and not roomy enough in the front.

Loved the look of the shoe but it was too tight across the top of my foot around the toes. Sadly, I have to return them.

I was *this* close to keeping these. Really liked them when I first put them on. Snug enough to feel the support, especially in the arch, but no where near uncomfortable. These would be great for casual wear or a cross-training workout. But I ultimately returned because the next time I put them on they started to look like orthopedic shoes to me. Or ones that you've seen before with two giant velcro straps. I couldn't unsee that so they went back. Maybe that's just my perception though...

I've had these shoes about a week. I kept them because I really like the look and I mainly use them for walking. The insole is very cushy but the upper is kind of stiff in places. Maybe it will improve with time. Another reviewer mentioned the short tongue on this shoe, which is definitely odd. I think if I wore the very low cut ("invisible") socks it would be an issue, but I wear ankle socks. I wish they had a bit more arch support. Basically I just use them for walking three times a week and with jeans if it's cold (here in Florida).

Good, practical, inexpensive shoes for walking. Lightweight and comfortable for wide feet. The color is more gray than green.

Very comfortable shoes and the memory get foam insoles are a plus! Color is much lighter vs the website but will keep em!

I really wanted to like the shoe, but it cut into my ankles so i have to returnthem.
