Customer Reviews New Balance MX857v2

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.

Had problems with them, hurt my toes on both feet, and that my good foot. I would not recommend them to anyone, I return them for a full refund and got another brand.

I think there very uncomfortable The are very stiff. I have other new balance which are very comfortable. I wore them to work my feet were hurting I could not wait til I got into my work boots that's how bad my feet hurt from these shoes

I use them as every day walkers and the black doesn't seem to hold up very well . I am pretty disapointed with this purchase to be honest

Walking, Xcross training. I have bought this model for over 10 years. This time was the 1st time I returned because within 1 month of use the lower right side thinned out, leading to me getting blisters.

These shoes were very disappointing. My regular size, with ordinary socks were too narrow, and short. The overall quality was more like that of bargain shoes, but at high price. What's going on, NB?

I don't like the support. not a lot to choose from when your width is B. you need to offer a better variety of colors for B width shoes.

I use the shoe for long walks and found them to be mediocre at best. The shoe is uncomfortable and is not conducive for the comfort of the foot.

Planned to use it as a cross trainer. But, it's not nearly as comfortable as it's all leather predecessor. Would not have bought it if I had known.

Good shoes, good shopping experience, good delivery, good deal - use them for walking, exercising, and casual wear. And thank you for the discount. That helps a lot!

I have previously purchased the New Balance 857 (white) from a store. This is the first time I purchased a black pair on line. While the back heal usually wears down over the course of several months, the rubber on the back heal of this pair is actually flaking off in small strips in less than a month. I have never had this problem before. I hope this is just a bad batch as opposed to an overall reduction in quality.

I purchased this shoe to replace my New Balance 1300. It feels comfortable like a casual shoe. For walking it does not give good support. I waisted my money.

My shoes were to small and too tight on the exchange. I ordered my size that I usually wear in a D width the shoe runs small.

The shoe feels very hard and uncomfortable. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.
