The narrow width in these shoes fit my "A" width feet well. I've worn 1260's before, but this is the first time I ordered the narrow width. I wish I'd have done it long ago. As these are mainly for casual wear for me (knee surgeries limit my running), wear is not an issue. These have quickly become my "go to" shoes for shorts and jeans. I really notice the difference in fit across my instep and in the heel. I'll not buy another pair of regular width athletic shoes. I appreciate the selection NB offers in narrow.

I get this shoe for my husband who is a big guy. It comes in extended sizes. It provides great support.

Love the 1260 series. I have each version. It's a shame it's being discontinued. The replacement is nowhere near as comfortable.

Best fitting shoe I’ve ever worn! Light weight, excellent style; only slightly low in the heel though.

2nd pair, each pair lasts little over a year. Great support and cushioning for overweight flat footed guy.

A more "substantial" sneaker than others. Well crafted and well cushioned. A keeper.

The color of the shoe shown is not the color that I ordered. I have these in a dark gray. I first ordered these in a wide with which I usually where. When they arrived they were too wide. I returned them and ordered the regular width shoes which fit me to a tee and are very comfortable. New Balance is the only brand of athletic shoes that I have worn for many years.

These are my third pair and they are some of the more comfortable I have ever walked and run in. I have pain in my heal and these shoe and other New Balance shoes keeps that pain away. Thoroughly enjoy them.

Bought for my husband. He loves them, but will be putting insoles in, as he likes a more “squishy” feel.

I've worn several versions of the 1260 shoe, and it's perfect for my feet. I bought them a half size larger for running/walking purposes, but they're great! They're light-weight, have good support and look great too.

I love these shoes these are the third pair of this model 1260v7 that I have owned they are the best with support mobility stability. I love these shoes and can't picture myself ever wearing any other brand.

I generally wear an 11.5 but need a 12 in New Balance. That's consistent with their shoes though, ie, I'm always 12. I need a narrow, which really limits my options. I also were a custom orthotic insert, which adds a bit of height.
So, my running shoe options are really limited. These are pretty great so far, and feel more supportive/substantial than my outgoing shoes (1260 v5's). They can accommodate the insert without pressing the top of my foot into the shoe-lace area.
It's too soon to tell how my feet will fare after a year of running in these, but they seem great so far.

I liked the style of the shoe and it felt comfortable on my foot. I wear orthotics and they did fit in this shoe. The sole of the shoe was too "soft" for me as I have back issues and need a firm, supportive sole.

New Balance 1540 V2 is good for me

The 1260v7 is an excellent running shoe. I run on an indoor track and a treadmill. The fit is fine and they look good.

Although these are slightly heavier than my favored running shoe (1080s), the extra support and cushioning make them a winner for brisk long walks.

I only buy these shoes now. I have been buying them because of the stability for years now. This was the coolest color in my size. I get compliments all the time on them. I just wish the bright yellow ones were available in my size. I have pronation and will continue to buy these until they stop making them.
