I have a collapsed arch in my right foot that leaves me walking on the base of the tibia. To accommodate my orthotics I need as much width as I can get. The 6E width in the New Balance models works perfect for me.

I don't understand some of the negative comments on this model. This is a high-quality, top-of-the-line shoe. I wanted a really, really good cross trainer shoe for everyday. I have bought this model and its predecessors (855 & 856) for about 10 years now. Not one complaint. Fits and supports really well. Stylish too (IMHO). You only have 2 feet. Invest in a cheap shoe and you might start having feet, leg, and back problems. I'll still with this shoe. I've been very happy with it.

Because I have such a wide foot with bunions there are not a lot of tennis shoes available offering much style. I can wear these all day because they are so comfortable.

These non-slip soles are safe and the comfort level is strong

I saw reviews from folks complaining about this shoe being too narrow. This is by design! This shoe is excellent for those with long and narrow feet with high arch. It is not a shoe for every foot. The style and appearance are gorgeous as I prefer suede over the popular mesh materials. You can run in it on the road and on a trail, although it doesn’t appear like a true trail shoe.

Have worn the same shoes for at least the last 10 years. Best shoes on the market.

This new issue shoe is quite possibly the best NB shoe ever matched to my needs right out of the box. I want comfort and support for every day use.

I love these shoes, they are so comfortable. I needed new shoes for the gym. The last pair I had had worn out within 4 months where my toes were on the mesh. The new balance customer service are super nice people. They got back to be about my claim in such a timely manner. I was worried about the mesh on future shoes but this shoe has solid piece of material in place so I am pretty confident these will last me awhile.

My teenage son loves these shoes! He has extremely wide feet, so the XXW were perfect for him. He says they're incredibly comfortable. He loves the style and color, too.

I have "hughmungus" bones especially my instep. These shoes fit OK given my sorry history of finding shoes that actually fit my feet. One thing I noticed is that the heels elevate me about a good inch. That's good because older age has reduced my height by about the same!

I had got these shoes for my dad as he wanted a comfortable, leather everyday shoe. He loved the shoes and they fit perfect to the size he ordered. They were comfortable to him and even relieved some of his back pain. A great quality shoe for everyday use.

I am pleased that my narrow width sneakers enhance my workout peerformance and enjoyment of exercise. The high quality new balance shoe always impresses me.

Great shoe, I ordered my normal size (9EE) and the shoe was a full size too small (my toe was directly on the end of the shoe). I re-ordered a 10EE and will see but I am sure it will be right now. The shoe (grey suede) isn't the best looking if looking for a fashion statement, but I prefer a subtle running shoe rather than neons and the like.

I am 69 year old golfer with a supinated foot that does a number of a regular golf shoe so much so that they only last for about 10 rounds before breaking down. Several years ago I started playing in the New Balance 857 and found it to be much more sturdy and last me for several months before breaking down. Were it not for my foot condition the shoe would last a lot longer, but going through four pair of sneakers in a year is a lot better than 10-12 pair of golf shoes. Very supportive.

Finally found another pair of New Balance shoes that fit according to size! I almost gave up on New Balance. But, this style fits fantastic, feels great, and looks very nice! And, my orthotics fit like a champ. Thank you, Zappos, for allowing me to order a few different styles and keeping just the ones that fit.

The width was good compared to the Drew Boulder 12 1/2. Not nearly as much toe room but still the width was good and comfortable. I ordered 12 1/2 had to return them and get a 13 which was a much better fit.
This is a much lighter shoe than the Drew, it will be nice to have this as a lighter alternative.
