I have a very wide foot with bunions on both feet and severe hammers toes. Obviously very hard to find a shoe that fits and these fit perfectly. I can wear all day long with no complications.

Ordered both sizes 9.5 EE and 10EE after foot surgery. Usual size 9.5 fit fine due to roomy toe box in this style. Somewhat disappointed with buckled material on right shoe which appears to be from poor workmanship. I will keep this pair though as I need them now for physical therapy. Plan to return larger size shoes.

These were recommended in an article about shoes for heavier people, unfortunately, unlike the many many pairs of New Balance I've had in the past, these just don't have enough support. My arches collapse and these did nothing to help prevent that, if I had kept them I could see myself wearing them out very quickly (and injuring myself) by walking over them on the arch side. This won't deter me from New Balance, but these aren't the shoe for someone with overpronation issues.

I wore NB years ago until they changed the style I liked. I saw this and decided to give it a try. Was so excited when I received them because they were super cute. I tried them on and had to double check the size because my toes were so cramped into the end. Very disappointing, as I wear the largest size they come in.

I’ve worn one version or the other of these New Balance shoes for years and years. The last three pair I bought had issues with delamination of the souls, but figured it I’d give New Balance one more try. First, I agree the toe box is rather large. Since I appreciate not having my toes smashed, I didn’t mind that. But, the material the shoes are made of feels and looks cheap; certainly worse than any other pair I’ve ever had. The “leather” is stiff and already has an odd crease over the toes of the right shoe after the first day of wear. The insole doesn't seem to have the support or cushioning of previous versions of the shoes. Since I have to wear black shoes for work, I am keeping them but will actively be looking for another pair of shoes. Very disappointed in these shoes - sizing, construction, and materials. Don’t waste your money.

Yuck! This is a disappointing replacement for the 847v2!! More cheaply made; material on the vamp is tacky-looking. I spent ten minutes trying to lace at the top, but the holes are not aligned. Will stock up on the 874v2!

Very light and comfortable. Use these every day for work. Would buy and did buy again. Fabric on an earlier version wore out a little too soon.Hopefully these will wear better. Sole started coming apart but Garilla glue took care of that.

I have a wide foot with several toe issues and therefore need a more rounded and deeper toe box than other brands offer. These New Balance 847v3 fit the bill. They are comfortable, stylish (not the plain white or black), and allow for the use of orthotics if I decide to put them in (so far seems very comfortable without).

I'm an EKG tech and I am on my feet 13 hours a day.My feet were comfortable all day and I have had numerous foot surgeries so comfort is key for me. Love the colors, the design, and the support that these shoes provide. I will always buy these shoes and so glad they come in size 12! I'm a very happy customer!

I have really wide feet and have trouble finding comfortable yet supportive walking sneakers. These are perfect! Lightweight with plenty of cushioning.

I had this style before, and it wore extremely well. Therefore, this is the second pair, and I hope it wears as well as the last. It is a nice looking sneaker, and goes with everything.

These shoes are great if you have wide feet with bunions and crooked toes. This particular shoe is the only shoe I can wear and walk comfortably. Thanks to the mesh in the sides in the toe area, there is just enough give and stretch to make my walking comfortable. Please continue to make this particular shoe.

I really like these shoes. I bought my first pair last summer, and recently purchased a second pair in a different color. They provide both comfort and support.

Always have worn New Balance, but first time wearing "walking shoes." My feet are very happy. Putting about 30 miles a week on them. Helping to alleviate my plantar fascitis. Well-made shoes and sizing was pretty true to size (perhaps a tad large). Easy recommendation. I will reorder these again, no doubt.

I just filled this out and proceeded to delete it. So, assuming you never actually got it - here's my story again. I've been a daily walker, usually a couple of miles/day, for several years. Also have completed a number of 5K races with Rock' n Roll/Ironman. Finish time is always between 14 and15 mins/mile. Never more. Almost always won my division-women - ages 70-74. Now in the women ages 75-79 division and I'm still winning!
Early on I had tried other shoes...FEH! There are no walking shoes better than these shoes.
So, please don't stop making them.!
But, now that I've told you all that - perhaps you can tell me why the list of NB products on your website does not even include the sport of walking or the availability of walking shoes. Makes no sense!
