Very comfortable and was a perfect fit. Unusual for me since I have wide feet. I would recommend you buy these shoes.

Love these shoes. Although they are not as cushioned as other New Balance shoes I've owned in the past, that is compensated by being lightweight and having great heal support. I think they will probably soften as they wear. I love the shoes though and would highly recommend them.

These are my second pair and they have a great feel to them. Not ultimate arch support but good and comfortable. Once you adjust to them they are fine.

Shoes fit well and they are still comfortable several weeks after purchase. Purchase and Delivery through NB went well also.

The runners are gate they are comfy and are wearable almost anywhere. The tung however is just a little short for a person with mobility issues.

A Good shoe
Not the lightest around by far
Pricey, and that isnt due to the labour rates they pay for the workers who make them.

These really are great, comfortable sneakers, but I have one qualm with them. On every pair I've owned (3), the the tongues always curl in underneath themselves, creating a gap between the lace holes . It doesn't affect comfort, but it's is aesthetically displeasing.

I wear this style of show everyday. For work and play. I think it is a great shoe, but there is one very small design flaw that I wish New Ballance would address. The top of the heel when push your heal into the shoe tends roll down inside the shoe causing the material to bunch and put pressure on the back of your heal and tendon. As long as you are careful and pull out on the back of the shoe or use a shoehorn no problems.

I wear 857s while standing all day. This is at least my 7th pair. They provide good stability and support. However, they could use more cushioning.

Like the style, but these do for some reason run smaller in length than all my other new balance.

They are a little narrow for being a 6e but other than that they are comfortable. They fit better than an extra wide but could be a little wider being I have very wide feet

I have been wearing the 857 for a number of years. It is a very comfortable. The reason I can not give it five stars is the eyelets. A couple years ago the shoe came with metal eyelets at the top. So when you pulled the laces tight they would not tear the shoe. The shoes made now do not come with any reinforcement. When you tie your shoe the laces will eventually break through the leather. I also wear the 928 and they have a reinforce eyelet. Hopefully New Balance will read my review and maybe do something about reinforcing the eyelets at the upper end.

I like the shoe but it definitely runs a bit on the narrow side. I do not think they will stretch out much and the leather does not really have much "give". There was no problem with sending them back and I ordered them in wide width and they fit like they should. I wish my podiatrist would have told me that before I ordered - when I told him that I had to send them back, he said that they run narrow - so, consider this your buyer advice! Mine was a size 12. If you like them snug, order in your same width, but for my taste, way too snug and the wide was just right.

So good to have a 6e width.
Last pair had great wear longevity. Far better than the Brooks Beast.
Only down side on this pair was one of the laces was partially melted through. It will break soon.
