The shoes are strictly for exercise walking, mainly on a treadmill with occasional walks through the parks when weather permits.

Shoe is really good i bought 2 pair. But the only problem is the cushioning.. Not enough for a running shoe. Shoe looks good and made well. 5 stars if it had more padding.

Purchased these to replace worn out Brooks Adrenaline GT. They fit comfortably and have been great to wear running and interval training. Correction for overpronantion is allowing for more solid footing and predictable gait. They styling could be improved a bit by lessening how thick the sole appears to be but overall a nice shoe.

very comfortable shoe. bought two pairs. i have the odd size of 14/4ew and find it hard to get shoes this size. new balance is the only shoe vendor that can fit me. these are the best fit that i've found so far. the tounge is a little short but the shoe is great otherwise.

Nice N-B running shoe. Built for stability. I'm 6'2" and 218 lbs and it gives great support to ankles and knees. This current version is a bit odd in that it has a "low" feel to it in the back of the shoe as it wraps around the ankle, but easy to get used to.

I loved the way these look. I generally purchase the more expensive 990’s, but don’t love the colors, so wanted to switch. I should’ve read the reviews first, as my experience is similar to others.
I needed a deeper heel-cup... my foot kept slipping up and almost out, so I’m returning. I have a weird heel. This has happened in other shoes as well, but doesn’t in the 990’s, so I’ll stick with them.

I ordered these for my husband because he liked New Balance shoes, but he didn't like these. The back part of the sole had a slight slope to it, and he felt that it might tend to make him turn his ankle since it wasn't flat.

It's a great shoe for walking or running. It provides good arch support. Unfortunately, I had to return the shoe because my heel kept slipping out. I will try other NB and Skechers shoes here, and Reebok at other websites.

Overall, I like the shoe. My problem is that when I wear it for an extended period of time, the outside of my foot gets irritated from rubbing on insole.

I need a wide width but not 4E. These shoes are very comfortable and sturdy. Zappos delivered free in 2 days. Very happy with this purchase.

Good stability, takes some getting used to. Typically wear an 8.5 and it was definitely too big and had to get an 8.

The shows did not have enough cushioning. Not half as comfortable as the Drew shoes I have been wearing for years.

length and width are excellent, but the arch is too high for me. Disappointed as I have purchased NB before and this was not an issue

I have always liked New Balance because of its wide, extra-wide widths, but the shoes NB are producing now are not deep enough. Your ankle doesn’t fit inside the shoe as well as before; your feet almost fit higher than the shoe itself. And when you put orthotics inside the shoe, your feet sit even higher. New Balance, make a WIDER shoe and a DEEPER shoe and you’ll
always have people buying shoes. Fall short of that, and you’ll lose your faithful customer base.

The shoes look good and are made very good but are running a little big for the size I purchased. I will have to purchase a 1/2 size smaller to get a proper fit

I was really happy with the shoes, however after approx 3 months after wearing them, the insole started peeling back and I'm constantly fixing it or else it feels like my sock is all bunched up in my shoe. It's just on one shoe. I'm hoping it's a one off and plan on returning this pair and exchanging for a new pair.

I went to my local NB store to buy a nice pair of shoes, and I founded myself buying these shoes. They were nice and comfortable until I returned home where my shoes became a bit tight. I am not pleased and I should've read the reviews on this shoe first.

Very unhappy that the update (v3) of the 940 now Made in China. Prior version (v2) was Made in USA. I have run in New Balance since 1978 due largely to the width sizing and Made in USA options. I should have checked before buying.

Not as good as the discontinued style it replaced. The laces are shoddy. The cloth parts get covered with fuzz.
