I started using these years ago when I got plantar fasciitis. This shoe corrected my step because of the stability bar. No more orthotics needed. The only thing I would criticise is that the shoe profiles look different sometimes. They are no longer made in the USA so the shoes doesnt last as long they used to. They are also only available in one color.

It is somewhere between difficult and impossible to find sneakers in a narrow width. These fit great!

I love the fact that these shoes with a rollbar keep my feet from twisting during lateral moves while I am working out. I also love that this model comes in more colors than the previous model. Thanks for the update of the shoes with the rollbar!

I was having awful foot pain and went to an orthopedic doctor who recommended these shoes. I can tell a difference and if I don't wear them my feet hurt.

I have arthritis in my feet. My podiatrist sent me to a New Balance store with a list of three possible shoes that would provide the best support for me. I tried all three on and determined that this was the best option for me. I have since that time had at least 6 pairs of this shoe. It is my everyday at home shoe; my walking shoe; my workout shoe and it does the job for me in providing adequate support and comfort to get me through my days. I'm sold on it and will continue to purchase it regularly.

I needed a sneaker with a rollbar and these fit the bill. The quality is good and I can't say enough about Zappos customer service, just excellent. I wish New Balance would make more modern designs for those of us who need a wide shoe, the wide sneaker toes look like orthopedic shoes which I guess can't be helped to give the toes room but I think some improvements can be made, not everyone with special sneaker size needs is elderly.

I wear an Arizona brace on my right foot because of ankle problems. I buy a size larger shoe and these shoes accommodate the brace well. I must wear an additional insole in the left foot so it fits properly. These shoes will work for people who must wear orthotics.

I have narrow feet and heels and they fit me perfect. They also have good support for my high arches. They are very good for walking and work. The color is just right, white with blue trim. they are very comfortable. I bought a 7 narrow.

I have perfectly healthy feet that are also unusually wide. I enjoy playing tennis and pickleball and go hiking and jogging and these are the only shoes that work!!! I love, love, love them.

I wear these shoeshoes for work and every day use. They're soft and keep my shoes from riding over on the side of the shoe. Theyatecasual for jeans or capris. I love the wide ankle area as mine swell from gout. The left shoe has a material defect similar to lint balls but not lint. It's only on the ankle side of the shoe.

This NB WX857V2 in 8WW was certainly wide enough for my feet, however I found it to be tight in terms of height. I do not have a high instep and have not ever had issues in this regard and I am concerned that this feeling of tightness will only cause discomfort while walking. Although this is NOT the reason I would use to not keep these shoes, these are extremely matronly to the point they look like men's shoes, but would keep them if they had been more comfortable. I am returning these shoes.
I'd also recommend:
Still love NB the best

These are more comfortable and cushioned and less expensive than the 947 that I usually purchase. Both styles have both sets of rollbars, aka motion control, which keeps me from rolling my ankles. I walk a lot so a good pair of walking shoes are important to me. I found my new favorites.

I ordered these shoes for work and home. They fit comfortably. I like the wide ankle area. I had ordered the 813 which served me well until the sole started coming off the rollbar area which is why I ordered the 857v2; slip resistant and leather.
