I love the look of this shoe, but they were just too wide in the toe area for me. I have wide feet too, so that’s saying a lot. If you need a bunch of room in the toe, you’ll probably love these.

Size 11 Wide, good fit (width and length). Nice looking shoes. However, I am returning the shoes. The deal breaker (for me) was the shoes arrived in a basic shipping box - not the original shoe box.

My shoe size is a 7 or 7 1/2, depending on the brand, and I needed a 7 1/2 for these sneakers. With my customized insoles for plantar fasciitis, these sneakers are sufficiently comfortable, but I don’t love them enough to try them again.

I had inadvertently ordered identical pairs of the 840v4 (obviously didn't have enough coffee!) I was going to send one pair back but, since I love NB, decided I might as well keep the identical pair for next year. Glad I did. Had to switch the left shoe when I developed a heel blister from the original pair. I wasn't happy about that. It may have something to do with the factory insert. At any rate, I am good to go!

This is at least the sixth pair of this sneaker I have purchased. The fit is wonderful with a high toe box that doesn't crush my toes. The only thing that keeps me from giving them a five star review is that the tongue tends to shift to the outside after prolonged wearing. Please never discontinue this model.

I really like the style and appearance of this shoe. I wear orthotics because my feet overpronate, so they don't fit quite as well as other models because the sole is so cushy- which feels good, but over time doesnt offer quite the right support for my feet. While I love the appearance of the mesh and it offers more comfort for my bunions, it makes the shoe a little less supportive for my feet.

I bought these to replace the same pair I've been wearing to work for a year. I love them, super comfortable. I knocked one star off for the online shipping experience, though. The incorrect shoe was in the box (box was correct but shoe was not what I ordered). Returned at my local factory location but the fact that they can't process a refund for 14 days after they receive the shoe back (factory had to print a label and "ship" it back to the same location). The shoes aren't cheap so now I have to wait for the refund to process before I can re-order them for something that was an error on their part. Highly annoying. Will not stop me from shopping with NB in the long run as long as this was an isolated incident.

Had to order 1/2 size larger, 8.5N, because my toe was at the tip of the shoe in my regular size. Comfortable, with adequate padding and arch support.

Wide and comfortable with a pretty cushy sole. I find NB runs a bit small. I wear a 9.5 W in other brands but need a 10 W in NB. These are no exception.

I have a bunion and need extra wide shoes. Thankfully New Balance makes a shoe that is comfortable.

I almost kept these. The shoelaces are stretchy. The ankles are heavily padded. A little longer than I'm used to and I was afraid I will trip. And they just look soooo wide. Couldn't do it.

Bought these to replace my beloved NB 1540v3, which sadly are apparently no longer being made. These are almost as comfortable as the 1540’s but seem to be slightly narrower in the EE width I need.

The fit and size were just right for me. I've bought several of this exact shoe for walking and find it is easy to order and know it works for me every time. I recommend it for walkers.

Fit & comfort good. Roomy toe box which is not always the case. Only slight issue...the tongue doesn't stay centered.

I liked the feel of these shoes on my feet comfort-wise, but they felt heavy on my foot. I need a lightweight shoe with the same comfort as these.

The New Balance 840v4 is a very good shoe. For me the shoe size ran smaller so I had to return my usual size and get a size .5 bigger. It fits and it is very comfortable . I am glad that I was able to get a wide width because I have a difficult time finding shoes my size and extra width. I love that I can step down and it doesn't feel like I can feel every stone I am stepping on. A very good shoe which I would be more than happy to recommend it.

These shoes fit perfectly for a narrow foot and are true to size. The toebox is roomy and orthotics fit nicely. Not as cushiony as Brooks Ghost or Levitate, but still comfortable. My only criticism is that the color blue is not stylish like Brooks shoes. Style should not be sacrificed for Comfort and fit . Why are there not more shoes in narrow width?

The shoes fit well. They are running shoes so I think they are good for running and aerobic exercise. I wore them to work and after a few hours my feet were bothering me. I have very narrow feet. Therefore, I always tie my shoes tight. I think part of the reason my feet hurt was because I was working in one area and not walking a great distance. I am a sales associate at Belk. Maybe I could of loosened my shoes a little bit. There is plenty of room in the front of the shoe which is good. The laces are pretty easy to tighten and loosen, but they are too long. I'm still breaking these shoes in. I need more time to wear them before I can give a full review on them.

I play pickleball 3 hours a day. 6 days a week. These sneakers are very comfortable but because of the quick movements needed in pball, I can only get 3 months out of them before the tread is bare. Wish they could be designed to last longer.

My end goal with shoes is to find one that is both supportive yet comfortable. I want one I can wear all day and have no aches or pains at bedtime. I want cushioning but not sinking. I want width in the toe box but no slippage in the heel. This is my first purchase of the NB 840v4 and I'm happy with them because they give me all of the above. That being said, I also like a shoe that is flexible and not bulky so I can put it on in the morning and wear it for everything from walking about to taking part in exercise class. The 840 isn't that shoe for me. I don't think there is that shoe for me anywhere. So, for general all day wear I love the 840v4 but trade them out with my old discontinued NB Vazees for exercise class. The 840 is great if you're on your feet all day and don't mind a little clunky looking shoe.
