Comfortable shoes with good support. I was looking for shoes that were wider in the toe area while providing stability with a comfortable sole. These shoes do that!

These shoes are superb! I ordered them after a foot fracture when I had to turn to sturdy shoes that supported my foot while being light. These NB shoes are wonderfully cushioned and light, and yet they provide excellent support and are very comfortable. I do wish they came in other colors. The style is not the most trendy but the comfort makes these shoes special. After this foot fracture I have become a NB fan.

I love this walking shoe so much that this is the 3rd pair that I have purchased. I purchased the black and pink pair and now the 2nd gray pair. I wish NB would make more colors in this style and in a size 5AA. I would purchase more. I do recommend this product for walking.

I followed prior reviews and added 1/2 size larger. Width was good! Walking on a hard surface was very easy—shoes comfortable right out of the box.

I only wear New Balance sneakers, and these 1865s are great!

My wife's on her feet all day every day and she absolutely loves these shoes. Most comfortable she has found after many years of trying.

I have wide, problem feet and these shoes are the most comfortable walking shoes I've ever had! Nothing rubs, the arch and sole feel like they were made for me, and they are lightweight and good looking. I'm so glad they come in a WW too. I sized up a half size in these.

For those of us who wear 2A width walking shoes, NB is THE BEST, and it's nice to be able to have more than just a white or black shoe.

These are so comfortable: I am so glad I bought them. A little on the pricey side, but worth it.

Wasn't sure about the color (medium lavender) especially since it was lighter than the picture. It's a great neutral color! Super comfortable as are all my NB shoes!

I was looking for an athletic walking shoe to wear while walking on a steep incline on my treadmill. I was getting bad shin splints and had read that walking shoes worked better for my purpose. I'm very pleased to say that, with these walking shoes, my shin splints are gone! HOWEVER, I did heed the advice of many reviewers and ordered the shoes 1/2 size larger and wider than my normal size and they fit perfectly. (Usually I'm a 7 1/2 M..I ordered an 8 W). I would recommend you do the same.

We needed a sturdy wide shoe for my daughter to wear with AFO's The doctor checked them and said they were perfect. The shoe should bend at the toe, but have a stationary heal. It also had a good depth. My daughter wanted a bright pink glitter pair but she settled for these and really liked the pink and orange combination.

I have bought several pairs of this shoe over the past two years. It does run a half size smaller as mentioned by others. I replace the shoe liner with orthotics and wear the shoe for approximately three months before replacing. I walk and average of 12 miles a week in addition to wearing them while running errands.

Fit and size were fine BUT both the pair I originally ordered and the replacement pair you sent squeaked badly. Best not to buy this model.

Loved that I could replace the inserts with mine. Shoes look pretty good. They look just like the picture. I wish they had a little less height.

A great shoe. I have a narrow foot and NB tends to run a little wide or roomy across toe area. Otherwise very happy with this purchase.

I needed a shoe that has good cushioning under the ball of my feet as I am on them for at least 8 hours a day at work, sometimes on a good antifatigue mat and more on cement floor. All the years of doing this has taken its toll. The 1865's have really good cushioning under the whole foot! I definately recommend them and will be purchasing another pair! More color choices would be fantastic!

These sneakers are great. I have flat feet as well as a titanium rod in my leg and these sneakers have great support and don't look orthopedic and look sporty. Great sneakers. Will buy again.

Switched from the "812's" (2 pair) to this lighter, more cushioned 1865. Definitely more spring in the steps. I walk at least 3 miles daily on street pavement in our neighborhood and needed more padding in my shoes. Rcvd them in time to complete my Dash challenge through work. Love this shoe. I bought the "Elderberry" color, and I love it!!!! So fun! Great shoe for narrow feet.

This is my second pair of New Balance walking shoes. I wore the other ones out. I like these because of the soft toe inside the shoe. It doesn't hurt when I walk and I walk approximately 10 miles a week. Thank you for creating a comfortable and durable shoe.
