Customer Reviews New Balance 857v2

Fits well, good looking shoe, sturdy design. I wanted to use the show to walk in each day (3-4 miles), as I could not find a walking/running show in my width. However, Trainers are rather rigid and not all that comfortable to walk several miles in.

Comfortable shoe and gorgeous color....more Air Force Blue. I have planter fasciitis in one foot and supinate (ankles roll in). Yet due to my high instep and use of orthotics (which use up more volume), the tongue of this shoe is uncomfortable and rolls in often. I went for the pricier and made in USA 1540v3, and do not have issues with the tongue, ankles do not roll in with orthotics, I found it just as comfortable as this shoe. I'm a 12.5 and bought the 13.

It looks good and fits okay, but I think I'll need to add a Dr. Scholl's insole to make it more comfortable.

I have an unusually large foot size. Th size that usually fits is a 15 W. In the case of this shoe there was no W width. Apparently the only option is a 6E width. This 6E was way too wide even for me. I am disappointed in the widths available. This model of shoe was otherwise quite nice.

I wear the 1540 and ans was looking for something with more cushion to alleviate heel pain. Unfortunately this sneaker didn't provide enough of a cushion adder over others for me to overlook the reduction in support I get from the 1540. I'll be looking for cushioning insoles instead. Nice shoe and glad it comes in 6E though.

Your 757v2 is not as wellmade or fitting as was the 623s I have wornn for some time

I use this shoe for exercise and casual wear. Shoe is heavier than other shoes I have worn. This is probably due to the leather uppers.

I was drawn to these because of the design and price. But they are ok- not what I expected of New Balance shoes. These are all terrain but they are slippery. Anytime it rains or if there's water around, I have to be mindful. The weight of it is light. But the material is not as great. There is some pilling. I've had other NB shoes that have lasted longer than these.l and do better with hiking, etc.

The material that makes up the heel of the shoe is not holding up

The sneaker is flimsy can't wear them for more than a few weeks then have to toss them

This shoe is very big and cumbersome. Extremely heavy.

All these bad reviews are probably from people who wear these shoes without custom orthotics. Go spend $500 on a pair of custom orthotics, wear them in your New Balance shoes, and you'll be good to go.

Right foot perfect. Left foot has a bump between the toes and heal. Same over two pairs.

Love NB as they have great styles and all the sizes. This shoe was wide enough but a little short. Will re-order the next size up.

I've been wearing the 850 line forever. I think the 853 and 856 were the best models. I successfully hoarded the 853 to get me through those lean 854 and 855 years, but all the 856's disappeared quickly as soon as the 857 was released. The 857 is just plain bad, and v2 is even worse than v1. Ditto most of the other reviews. Punching out that 6th lacing hole must have been getting too expensive! Three stars because it is still a good last and the motion control in the heel is stable. Once you fix the quality, then at least one more color would be nice (and don't even get me started on the suede 857; my 3 pairs didn't even last a month). But I will stick with you New Balance since you are still the only game in town.

Too narrow even though I ordered my usual extra wide (4E) size. I returned them for a full refund and got another style from NB that did fit. Love the style, but can't understand why they didn't fit. All of the other NB extra wide shoes have fit in the past.

Either the Quality Control isn't where it should be (not that it was fantastic with this model to begin with but I'll get to that), or my feet have gotten even wider, because the same size from the same model I had then is now too narrow even at a 6E. It's unfortunate because I did like the ones I had before, though the paneling was falling off within a year of use, they did fit. Now they feel weird on the sides of my feet -and- I'm anticipating the paneling to start falling off.

Shoe was not comfortable will not buy again was loose to the foot

There's supposed to be extra wide But was not wide enough there was a tight fit

The lining of the heel inside the shoe is lose and bunched up. Only wore them for a couple days and it became impossible to wear the right shoe. I hope New Balance will stand behind them. I've worn many of this same shoe and never a problem. ???

Heavy and not comfortable - I wouldn't buy again. Npt worth the money.

it is a challenge with New Balance. They make a great shoe. But, for whatever reason, they change the basic shape of shoe periodically, So, if you ordered this shoe in the past, beware the toe box is too narrow for some. Like me. I take a size 14 wide. This shoe has been my go to. Loved it. Not anymore. I need the wide and the toe box shrinkage ruins the overall shoe for me. Still a great shoe. Just not the same and that is why only two stars. Bummer. I was told to go with a 928 v3 Just wish NB would alert folks to the changes somewhere on their web site. It is a hassle to return them and NB could improve its reputation and customer service. Again, great shoes. Just poor communication with its loyal customer base.
