Customer Reviews New Balance MX857v2

I have a narrow foot and these shoes fit great. I also like the look in suede...something I can wear at work. However, I was surprised by the hardness of the sole. There is not much give in the heel and they seem to "clomp" as I walk. I was hoping for some more cushioning due to my plantar fasciitis. My previous New Balance shoes(different model) seemed a lot softer under foot.

The shoe is not comfortable, it does not fit well.

Unfortunately it did not fit. It is not the shoe's fault. I have foot problems and use orthotics, which makes me very difficult to fit. Many New Balance 12.5 B shoes fit me. But not all. The 857v2 was long enough but the toe box seemed slightly too short in height for my odd feet.

They are not as comfortable as they were made out to be.

I walk about 5 miles a day. I have found the soles wearing excessively fast. I'd say they have reached about 50% of their life. The value doesn't represent the price

Price was good but these are not as comfortable as my previous style NB. The support is different but in fairness this is a different shoe. Wide width fits but the ankle support is not as expected.

Bottoms are wearing out very quickly. I use for FedEx ground delivery.

The tongue is thinner than in the past and cranking down laces is a bit uncomfortable initially. Also footbed used to fit me better. This set needs an aftermarket bed. Very good support. 6'2", 200# Will likely but again

Good fit but no arch support or much cushion. Should have stayed with 624.

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.
