Customer Reviews New Balance BW1000v1

Very comfortable well made boot. I can fit my very thick orthotics inside this boot. I originally tried size 10D which was too narrow with my orthotics and a thin sock. I sized up to a 10.5D and the fit was comfortable with my socks and orthotics. I wear a 10D in New Balance running shoes and an 11B in Brooks with orthotics. These boots are soft under foot and warm. I have severe fat pad atrophy and metatarsalgia, so these boots are a life saver. Personally, the black color looks better than the brown. I tried both colors.

This is such a comfy boot, feels just like an athletic shoe, but a boot. Really warm and the fresh foam sole is great just like all the fresh foams. I got these to walk in the winter and so far it's like wearing a normal shoe except you have weather protection!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these boots! I have a wide foot from RA and have plantar factitious - I was worried I wouldn't be able to get my foot into these boots. Hooray! I can. They didn't slide right in, but a little tug/pull and I was good to go. These are by far the most COMFORTABLE and SUPPORTIVE boots I've ever owned. Got them in the shorter version too. It's like wearing a super comfortable tennis shoe that is water/snowproof. I wore these on a field trip standing for 7 hours straight and they were so supportive my feet didn't hurt. Can't say enough about these awesome boots!

Awesome, well made, cushier footbed , lightweight. Sadly They won't tighten enough around my skinny calves. Really nice boots though.

I've had these for 3 months now. I need arch support so once I took out the insert and put in my orthotic this was very comfortable and wide enough without feeling too big. I walk for 45 minutes for exercise and these are so warm and comfortable to wear. There have been days that I've worn them for more than 8 hours running errands and going through the mall. I'm very happy with them and considering a second pair.

the most comfortable snow boot I've ever owned. They're not quite as cushy as my New Balance running shoes, but they're such an improvement over every other stiff snow boot.

Just wore these for a week on an Alaska trip and they kept my feet warm at -20°. I was outdoors for six hours at one point in below zero temperatures and my feet were warm and comfortable with these boots and one pair of wool socks. Very flexible and fit like a glove once I walked around in them for a little bit. First impression out of the box was that they felt a little loose in the heel and ankle, but that was solved by walking around in them for at least 30 minutes. They were so comfortable that on the way home I wore them on a 16 hour plane multi airport plane flight. I have Sorrels and other boots that will go on the back shelf now that I have these. I wear a 7.5 W and have large calves. I ordered a 7.5 W.

I bought these for my daughter, who's 12, but I really wanted to steal them for myself! They're very cozy and easy to get on. We both have a wide foot, and this boot fits us.

nice boot, but too hard to get on and off! wish it had a side zipper.

I was excited to find wide width winter boots with the added benefit of New Balance sneaker cushioning and thought these were going to be the best winter boots ever, but not to be. Wearing them around the house I found: - my feet were getting cold the longer I had them on (I had on heavy smart wool socks). Maybe they aren't breathing at all letting my feet get sweaty? - I have big calves and I'm short. The boot tops just barely fit on my calves, so no room for tucking in pants and the big (fake) fleecy top would mean they wouldn't fit under jeans - because the tops didn't move loosely on my calves it made for more wrinkling and some rubbing on my ankle bone (also could have been caused by the way the ties work just scrunching up the fabric) They'll be going back. If a winter boot doesn't keep my foot warm then it doesn't belong in my shoe closet. The fact that they really are pretty ugly didn't help their case.

felt super comfortable. but it looks like a shoe and then they tried to make it look like a boot. It just wasn't my style
