Customer Reviews New Balance 857v2

I now have sent back two (2) pairs of these because the top line deteriorated within 90 days of use, light use at that.

I have been purchasing these shoes for years now, was very disappointed in the last purchase. The soles started coming apart within the first week of usage. Customer service has not been helpful.

Hurt outer midsection of my feet at the area where heel flap ends inside the shoe and interior sole. Inserts did not help and am returning them as well as 928s. Unable to break in the shoe to my feet/vice versa. A wider shoe would not have helped. However, loved the toe space and especially the anti skid soles which allowed me to easily move tall rolling ladders and power lifts on concrete floors while the shoes were killing me. Low rating due to pain caused.

I've had many foot surgeries and ordered these using the same size of the other New Balance shoes I've gotten. These are almost a full size larger than what I usually get. I compared them heal to toe to my present new balance and there's no way they are the same sized shoe. I really wanted to try them because I need a wide heal due to neuropathy in my feet. So I bought a new pair of the ones I already have. Disappointing cuz I have odd sized feet and don't have many options......

I found this product on your website, but it doesn't exist. I would like to see it, but I won't ever be able to.

Completely undersized and was really looking forward to these for work. $93 wasted

Poor customer service experience. Shoe not comfortable

Feet hurts after 15 minutes into aerobics workout. Contacted New Balance several days ago but I haven't heard from them yet. Shoes may be bit too wide for me (4E) despite last New Balances shoes that is same size and is terrific. I got the email asking me to review. So here's my review. :(

Too heavy! My previous NB shoes were canvas top and lighter. The tops wore out and that's not good, but they were light on my feet. This new pair 857v2 is much heavier--even through they were promoted as being light. I am 88 years of age and balance is[ becoming a problem. That problem is aggravated by these heavier shoes!!!!!!!! Would much prefer the 6e width.

I've worn NB for years and actually upgraded when I ordered these. A blister about the size of a half dollar was rubbed on my left heel during my daily three mile walk on the second day of wearing them.

I've been buying New Balance shoes for a long time. I have found them to fit well, very flexible and comfortable. This model 857v2, is stiff and clunky and not very comfortable.

I loved this shoe. I wore it every day, all day long, for many years. I evened ordered them 3 pairs at a time, They were comfortable right out of the box. Then last year I received a pair that killed the bottom of my feet. The Number on the shoe was MX857WN2. When I called NB they said the design had been changed. I called today and the 857 V2 is the same bad design. A good shoe bites the dust. Do not buy.

There's nothing blue about this product! ITS CHARCOAL MEDIUM GRAY!!!! ITS NOT LIKE A DARK JEANS COLOR BLUE AT ALL!!!!

I have owned three pair of 856's. They were the best shoes I ever owned. Unfortunately they wore out and I needed to replace them. NB no longer makes that model. The 857 is the replacement and the 857 is a terrible shoe. The foot bed is uneven and lumpy, so much so that I can feel it through a pair of NB cushioning insoles. The tongues roll to one side when I wear them. They move so far that the laces become exposed. There is nothing between the lace and my sock. To add insult to injury I ordered them in the same size and width as my 856's. Those 857s are both wider and longer than the same size 856. Why did NB stop making the 856? It was a great shoe. I have been a loyal NB customer for more than 30 years. NB golf shoes, running shoes and cross trainers have been in my closet. The 857 may well result in a change.

I purchased NB Shoes for the first time because there made in the USA. These are Overpriced Junk. I was very disappointed. Returned the 2 pairs of shoes and will never buy NB again.

The quality of this shoe is that of any dollar store.

Within 2 weeks one shoe the outside N started peeling. A week later over half was pulled away so just pulled it the rest of the way off. Not much later the other shoe started doing the same. Go back to stitching your logo on if you want free advertisement!

I purchased my 857V2 last December for step class and walking. The shoes are falling apart. There is a quality issue materializing at New Balance. I do not recommend purchasing these shoes.

I was surprised by the shape of the shoe. They were so wide as to be misshaped and looked like clown shoes. They were returned.

The shoes were good but the glued on sole pieces are falling off. I had one glued back on but now another fell off. Clearly the glue used or the process was defective in my case. I'm buying another model after checking to see if the same kind of glued on sole pieces were used or not. I hope this was an isolated issue with this particular model.

Shoes way too firm,,hard to walk in them so I sent them back. The 623 are the best shoes

My adult son has been wearing NB with the role bar for 6 years on the advice of his Orthopedist. I bought these shoes 857v2 on March 19, they arrived on March 26. Today is July 11, the tread is completely gone so they have no traction (even on sidewalk), heel is totally warn down. The shoes are now unwearable. Very disappointed

The previous 857 was soooooo much better than this new version? These were a great sneaker for people with flat feet, no longer the case, All the support is missing. I'll never buy this style again,

I have worn new balance shoes for over 25 years and have had no problems. The quality is gone last two pair the soles have come apart never buying NB again
