Customer Reviews New Balance 857v2

I like these shoes I use them for work at Wendy's I put my own insoles in them and away I go.

I have bought several pair of this shoe over the years. They fit correctly, are durable, and the Roll bar is great for people with weak ankles.

I work out in these shoes and they have great support and feel good on my feet!

Third timing buying these same shoes. Work great. Quality shoes.

My feet are 4E-6E in New Balance shoes. Using these for functional fitness-type training. Very happy.

This is the only shoes I can where. This is the only footwear that work for me highly recommended.

I have wide feet and the 6E works well. Would like more styles. Will continue to order these.

These shoes took care of my problem with plantar fascitis. They are very comfortable

I've been buying 857's ever since they came out and have put them through just about every environment you can imagine, except for extreme winter wear or wet (walking through swamps, etc.), so you're not going to get any complaints about them from me. HOWEVER, I've noticed a small glitch in the NEW BALANCE system, and that refers to your shoe sizing charts. My feet move around in sizes (based on bodyweight changes); I've had as small as size 9, and as large as size 11. I've had no access to a shoe store since the pandemic, so I've taken to using the website to order shoes. When I used the sizing instructions, the result was that I had an indicated size 9.5. When those shoes came in, I could barely get them on. I've had to order a 10.5 to get shoes that are any where useful. And, this applies throughout the entire line of NEW BALANCE shoes. Other than that, I'm satisfied and will be using the website exclusively from now on.

I have been wearing this model sneaker (and its predecessors for years now). I wear them for exercising and for casual wear. I weight 275 lbs and these sneakers hold up great.

We buy these sneakers for my husband - he wears a 16 4 E - hard to find this size any where else - please keep these in stock always

Glad New Balance keeps number system shoes so you can easily reorder and know what you will get.

The shoes are very comfortable and felt good immediately

The best shoe ever for comfort. I have now Purchased 10 pairs of this 857v2 model; I was afraid they would run out and/or possibly change the sizing in the future. I wear orthotics inside a 11.5 4E shoe. The previous New Balance shoes for years I wore were the 1267 shoes. The 1267 shoes pressed on my toes on the sides and top at times. Luckily the 1267 are no longer made so I tried the 857v2. I tried the 857v2 because it was the best quality (highest price) New Balance men's training shoe available The 857v2 shoes are an inch longer than the 1267. This was a concern when I first received them. I did not understand why there would be such a great difference between the same sized New Balance Men's training shoe. The extra inch allows the front of the shoe (called the box I think) not to narrow down up front where my toes are. The narrowing takes place just past the toes. I am now able to move my toes up front without hitting the shoe. The extra inch does not affect my game play.

I have purchased a million shoes in my day, trying to find a good fit for my very wide (EEEEEE) high arched foot. When I found New Balance and began wearing them, I knew I was in heaven. The great fit, no more splitting out the sides of my shoes! I wear New Balance shoes most days, as I am on hard surfaces, climbing stairs, and working out. In short, love the fit, love the quality, love the pricing.

My right leg is shorter than my left, so I've always had to buy shoes with a large toe box for enough room for a 2" orthotic. The NB 888/880 series Basketball shoe was perfect, but the fashion now is for a slim toe box. I called NB and the man said there is a 6E walking shoe. Perfect. I miss the stability of the hi-top but I'm happy. I'm seriously thinking of buying a few extra pairs so that I won't have to hunt for shoes for a while! Thanks, NB!

The narrow size fits my size 12.5 double A width feet like a glove! Great support, lateral stability and comfort. Use them for all my training; running, bikiing, hiking, weights, etc. If there's a downside, I've yet to discover it.

I have used these shoes for last 7 plus years, they are very comfortable and long lasting. They are little expensive but I consider it money well spend.

Purchased online after reading the reviews. I received my shoes in a timely manner and after delivery I wore them indoors on the treadmill for 2 sessions. I was hooked and started wearing them outdoors. I'm a walker, walking about an hour+. I've had no problems, none. Fits as promised.

Wanted to replace a pair of NB white shoes that I've had and used for walking etc,,,,,, a little bit of everything. Don't know the old pair's model nbr. They are almost 20 years old. Now they are just good shoes for yard work; but still going. Anyway; how do I replace them. Well I did. Love the new shoes and in 20 years I'll hope to replace them also. Good fit , support, everything. Only NB can do this!

Very comfortable for my wide feet and a very nice fit

I like to Roll-bar feature since I have weak ankles

I have VERY wide feet.....huge balls (feet!). 6e is perfect. Immediate comfort from the first moment.

Bought these in white just for the gym. They are well made, extremely comfortable, and look great. I wear 1/2 size larger in NB than my other shoes.

The fit is always the same . I use special inserts in them because of a crushing injury 16 years ago. Fourteen years ago I went into a specialty shoe store on crutches and was able to walk out of the store with much less difficulty and pain using your shoes .The roll control saved my mobility . Thanks for a great product.
