Kept the shoe but the toe box is so big that I am not fond of it. This seems a half size larger than my usual New Balance shoe (and I have many of them). Good support but not what I had hoped in fit. If you are looking for a very large toe box, this is your shoe.

Sending these back. NB has a toe box that works for my bunions. But these just feel too heavy.

This is my second pair of this particular shoe, having found something that works for me as a USPS mail carrier, I hope that I can continue to purchase this shoe. In the past I have found one that works, and then NB discontinues that number.

Overall, the shoe is comfortable. I do wish the tongue had a bit more cushion.

I actually liked the comfort of the shoe immediately. However, I ordered the 11N but needed a 10.5N. First I tried the shoe with a thicker sock then I made sure to pull the strings tighter. The shoe felt really comfortable out the box: the toe box was a bit wide but the heal felt snugged. After moving about for 20 minutes the ankle area started to loosen and my ankle didn't feel supported. I had high hopes. bummer......I'm returning this shoe and hope zappos restock my size.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks (narrow and some B width); Nike, Munro

I ordered a women's extra wide but felt it didn't fit any differently than the wide width and I had to return them. It is taking a long time to receive my refund.

These are heavy, stiff and warm to wear. Definitely not my favorite pair of New Balance. The 880s that I wanted were not available, so I unfortunately chose these. I am disappointed.

These shoes are extremely firm, which is great if that is what you are looking for, but if you need a little cushion these aren't for you. The toe box is nice and roomy and the fit is true to size.

I bought a double wide like always, but this shoe fit really snug and was not wide at all. I like the non slip and the all black, but comfort is the most important thing. If I buy this shoe again, I would size up

I am 70 yo and in search of a wide comfortable shoe. This shoe was lightweight and fit one of my feet great. The other foot (slightly longer) was bothered by an area of the cushioning that was too high in the area of my instep. It really bothered my foot. Unfortunately I had to return these.

I have worn 857's in the past. I'm not sure what the change is but the heel was high and rubbed with walking.

I purchased the 857WB2, cross trainer. I usually purchase New Balance cross trainers because they aren't too wide (I have narrow feet) and because they give good support. These shoes, however, are too bulky and run small, even for me. I may try purchasing another pair of cross-trainers, but I am deeply disappointed with the pair bought.

The rollbar was on the inside of my foot, which was not mentioned in the product description.

I have strictly worn New balance sneakers for the past 13+years. I have mild cerebral palsy and walk with a defined gait. During a Susan koman event I purchased a pair of new balance 845. They have since been discontinued amd I switched to another model number. This time I bought the 857 and after wearing for just one week the soles are already wearing down. I will be going back to the other model because the sole hold up longer. However I will continue to purchase new balance

My new balance shoes are leather so they are warm in the cold temperatures. They are also easy to keep clean because you can just wipe them off with a damp cloth. They don't have the great arch support I have come to rely on from New Balance shoes nor do they have a cushioned footbed. I am on my feet 12 to 14 hours a day and after about 8 hours my feet are tired and achy. I am disappointed because I have always counted on my New Balance shoes to last the day with me with continuous support and comfort.

The side of my big toe kept rubbing the side of the shoe, everytime I put it on. And, I thought that it might be because i needed a wider shoe. I kept thinking, but my foot is so slim and narrow... Then i realized that my toe is rubbing because the shoe is too small for my foot. So, I can't really say if I like the shoe because I haven't really worn it. And, unfortunately they don't make a 12.5. I don't want to wear a men's shoe!

I ordered these shoes because they come in AA width. My preference is for the 928 shoe but, unfortunately, does not seem to be made in the AA width any longer. The 928 shoe is better quality.

The shoes are good but not great. I expected more cushion when walking. They seem well made. The size is snug. Beetle than my worn out shoes but going back to runners next time.
