I liked the first pair so much I decided to buy the other color. Oh and I still don't run, well unless it's to the fridge

I have been jogging regularly since about 1970, originally to stay in shape for football. My first "jogging" shoes were Pro Keds. When New Balance first appeared I saw them rated Number One in Consumer Reports and tried them. I could not believe the difference. I went from jogging one mile to jogging 5 miles/day in the first week without the shin splints. Although I have used a few pairs of competitor's shoes I have been primarily a New Balance customer since. I must be going on 50 years and probably 100 pairs of shoes; 6 pairs right now and one on the way. My kids and grandkids are also into New Balance.

I have a very narrow foot (11.5 A/B) so it's extremely hard for me to find athletic shoes that fit and are comfortable. NB is the only company that makes a narrow width shoe, though not many, so I have bought NB 11.5 Narrow for years. Because of toe box variations some shoes have fit well with ok comfort while others have not. The 840V4 is without a doubt the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I am 70 yrs. old and not a runner but I power walk 15-20 miles a week in these shoes with no foot or leg fatigue. My only negative comment is I wish NB would make the shoe in multiple colors.

I bought these for my son - who is in high school. He has wide feet and does not like shoes that feel constricting in any way, shape or form.
These fit the bill! He loves them. These are honestly a wide shoe (not a shoe that runs narrow and is now called wide). Super comfortable, holds up well for P.E. class and doing whatever else boys do to their shoes. I imagine, though, give us 4-6 more months and we'll need another pair. But glad to know these work and I can reorder them.
Thank you New Balance for making great shoes for wide feet. You have no idea how that has helped me as a mom of 2 boys with wide feet. THANK YOU.

I bought these for my 15 yo son and he loves them. He has another pair of New Balance shoes that he loves and I got these to replace them. So far so good and he's SUPER picky. Hope that helps. He's a 13 wide, btw.

I have 840's in both colors offered and have worn them for about three weeks. Size 13 XW fits perfect right out of the box. Great padding and support combined with great looks make the 840 a real winner. Just make more colors!

The 840's have to be one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! I have large wide feet (13 XW) and it is hard to find great fitting shoes. These fit the bill perfectly. Great looking with great support as well. My only complaint is that at present they only come in two colors.

It is very difficult to find sneakers for my 12 year old son that are both stylish and comfortable. These are wide enough for him, comfortable and get his approval on style.

This shoe was as expected being from NB! Bought for husband who is very happy with these shoes. He had worn NB in the past and tried some other brands and nothing has fit as well as NB! Color and styling are very good also. Would recommend.

Great fit right out of the box. I have two very different feet and it is hard to find a shoe that works for both but these feel great and give needed support.

Have worn this shoe for years with great results. Local NB store closed so my convenient supply dried up!
Have a wide forefoot and high arch and these shoes have kept me from foot problems I have had with others over the years (including Plantar Faciitis). Last time I bought this style my store told me it was due for an update and this one is it! The 840v4 continues a long line of good NB shoes for my feet. I have an orthotic that fits perfectly and makes the wearing of this shoe even better for me. I like the color change and design features on the shoe. They are so comfortable. I have worn them out several times to break them in and will start running in them soon. I am certain they will wear well like my former versions. I usually buy a new version each year.

I have a wide foot and run with orthotics. These are only the second neutral show I have found that are wide enough for me and allow for my orthotics. The last of the 840’s is perfect. Even 4E’s in other NB’s are not wide enough. The onset arch support is poor but I remove them and use my orthotics to get the right support

These fit perfect (ordered my usual size). The standard width is a little wider than other brands which adds to the comfort. Really nice cushioning and arch support. Lightweight and well vented. Comfortable to wear all day. Have not tried jogging in them yet because I like them so much I'm trying to keep them nice for normal daily wear. Just wish they were a bit cheaper!

Great shoe! I’ve had several pairs, in succession, of the 840,v.3...no longer available. THESE, the v.4 are comfortable, yet supportive! They are stylish..even my husband commented positively on them.I need the men’s 4E, as the women’s New Balance in this style doesn’t come in the extra width. Keep producing this shoe...nice wide & deep toe box!! Thank you

Received these shoes 2 days before leaving for 3-1/2 weeks in Berlin and Vienna. Lived in them for those 3-1/2 weeks. Couldn't have made a better decision. As I have 4E feet, I've bought only NB athletic shoes for several decades. These have to be among the very most comfortable.

These shoes are the absolute best I have found to accommodate my gnarled toes, two of which have been pinned in conjunction with the two bunionectomies I have had. My walking gets more stable day by day. The tall toe box helps my toes get into more normal positions.
They’re just what a chiropractor and a podiatrist said I needed, but I didn’t find them till ZAPPOS.

I broke my ankle and New Balance are the only running/ exercise/ walking shoes that don't hurt my feet when exercising.
