Customer Reviews New Balance MX857v2

I wear this shoe all day every day at work. Great support and a pretty durable shoe. My only gripe is that it only comes in a VERY VERY limited colors.

Use this shoe at the gym - a little cardio, mostly weight training, core work and stretching. Nice well made shoe. Solid feel when doing leg work - squats, deadlifts. Very comfortable. Fast on-line ordering service.

Good looking shoe. Insole not great with stiff curled-in ridges that hurt the insole of your foot. Removed and put in Sperry canvass shoe after cutting off the ridges. Substituted "10Seconds Arch 1000" that runners use, much better than NB.

When purchased in black, this shoe is rated as slip resistant. Wearing this shoe in a manufacturing environment, the slip resistance is just ok. There are better slip resistance shoes available. These shoes are well built and comfortable.

Love these trail shoes. I logged 47miles on them walking/running on asphalt and sand over just 5 days and my legs and feet barely felt the affects... I did upgrade the insoles to my superfleet orthodics as the inserts that came with them seemed quite flimsy but I think main reason for comfort was the shoe itself.

Like the tread and overall fit. I need wide width and new balance always has a great selection to choose from.

Nice comfortable shoe, size was correct and so far seem to standup well working out. Good arch support also.

Fits well and is comfortable. Excellent daily exercise shoe.

The shoe has great support and breath ability- the only reason I didn't give a 5 star is bc it runs a bit wide

Great fitting trail shoe. I ordered them in wide and have lots of room for my wide toes. Great grip on the trail and fairly lightweight for a trail shoe.

This is second pair. Comfortable, but sole is failing on first pair even though they are NOT worn out. Still like the comfort.

My physical therapist said I needed a shoe with excellent support and lateral stability for my Jazzercise and Zumba classes (instead of the forward/back stability of running shoes). The 857v2 fits the bills, my knees and ankles are happier. Just note that it runs much shorter than the 990 series (running) and the 928 (walking shoe).

Just used these today for the first time. These were purchased to serve as my tennis shoes (play 2-3 times a week). The main thing for me is comfort as I have neuropathy in my feet and so many shoes are just rough on my feet. These shoes provide very nice comfort as I played 3 sets in them and then kept them on and went out to dinner with my family- all the time these shoes were perfect. As far as sizing: so many shoes seem to be running narrow, but these seem true to size. They look great too. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I have had very few 5 star shoes in my day and I have only worn them once. So far so (really) good.

I have a lot of health issues with walking and leg pain. This shoe with the rollbar has greatly reduced my pain and allowed me to walk much further and enjoy life. It could use a bit more cushion, but overall it's the best walking shoe I have come across.

Still don't have anything that fits properly and is comfortable to walk in since you discontinued Dr. Gould's 587 shoe that he designed for his foot surgery patients. He said that I would never be able to walk comfortably in any shoe other than the 587 for the rest of my life, after 17 foot surgeries. Boy was he right!!! He had a contract with NB to make 587s till 2020, and obviously NB reneged on that contract. Since he died 2 years ago, there is nothing he can do about that now. What a shame! This 857v2 is closer to fitting like the 587 than anything else NB has had, but is still not quite there. It is still too tight in the toe box. I'm sure I'm not the only foot surgery patient of Dr. Gould's that got screwed over when the 587 was discontinued. He performed 2 major surgeries on my feet to correct the damage done by 2 podiatrists after their 15 surgeries, 11 of which were attempts to correct their botched up first 4 surgeries.

Fits excellent, price could have been a little less

I have shoes just for the gym: aerobic-treadmill days, and resistance days [Nike 3x black Tns]. these shoes are for use on the treadmill and replaced some old Adidas. the fit is a little firm and even after a couple of weeks, I'm not liking them. they're also just a smidge wide for me but otherwise, the length is true to size. not in any way relevant to performance, but they're a little chunky-clunky aesthetically [still loving my NB Audazos and the skate shoes I wore through a couple of years ago though which is why I gave these a try]. no points were accepted for this review.

Found them to be too narrow for comfort even though I ordered the wide.

Been buying 'the better quality', 'more expensive" NB wide trainers and I have been happy. This pair of 875 frayed on the ankle upper sides and isn't as firm or supporting all around as previous NB trainers. I don't work them hard and use 'molded' to my feet orthotics. Next purchase will be a less expensive pair of trainer to compare. Happy with the width, the reason I buy NB shoes.

The shoe is Ok, but not as comfortable as my prior experiences with a NB shoe.

This is now the only training shoe available with stability features and it's OK+, but not great. It lacks the cushioning of the 900/1000 Series shoes which I have worn from 901-the1211s that are no longer offered. It's just not the shoe those were. But it's at the same high price. But, if weight training is an important part of your gym routine, this is your only choice from NB. They'll be OK, but I sure wish the 1211s were still on offer.

Less cushioning than I wanted. I'm really disliking the online purchasing. For me the finding the right size is becoming a problem.
