I needed a good pair of walking shoes that are supportive. These feel great! I have plantar fasciitis and recently suffered a hairline fracture in my foot. I already had a good pair of New Balance in the 1540v3 but wanted a different style. The 840v4 has good support with a little more cushioning than the 1540. These may run a tad longer than the 1540 which is made in the USA. I was worried about the openness of the mesh because I tend to have toes that want to poke through. I found some moleskin patches that you can adhere to the inside of the shoe and hope they help.

I love these shoes! Right out of the box they were perfect. I have tried so many shoes for daily walks and these are by far the best. I have bad feet- I'm prone to plantar fasciitis and ball of foot pain. These are like walking on pillows. No pain at all. I am also overweight which doesn't help. These fit great and are very room in the toe box. I plan to buy more.

Love these shoes, I have problem feet-bunions, narrow heel & a high arch. I added my orthotic and a thin dr scholls cushion and the fir great! I’m going to order a second pair - they are that comfy!

Fit is perfect with the large toe box I need and this shoe requires no break-in! Lace 'em up and take off. Love the comfort.

I've tried on countless shoes - thank you Zappos and thank God for Zappos! - and this is the one that I finally settled on. I have new custom orthotics with metatarsal pads that are making it hard to find a good fit. They can push the foot up and out inside the shoe and my podiatriast has ultimately tweaked them, which helps a little. I'll tell you about my feet so if you have similar problems you can decide if you want to try this shoe. I have narrow ankles & wide feet with bunions that aren't super big but my little toes are often unhappy with regular width shoes now due to a combination of the bunions and the way my orthotics are constructed. I sometimes get neuromas and lately got capsulitis because the fat pad in my foot is thinning. So, if you share any of these issues, give these a try, and don't be afraid to try the extra wide. I needed that extra wiggle room.

I always buy New Balance for the wide toe box. Nothing else comes close to the comfort. These shoes are good looking and very comfortable. I bought 2 sizes just in case and will be returning the ones that were too big. It’s a great option to have!!

My short, wide, high arch feet are very happy! I wear a 5 1/2 2E - not an easy size to find. These shoes are supportive and wide enough. I do wish the tongue was a bit wider. Have to tuck it in just right to cover the top of my foot.

New Balance has really great shoes; the thing I like best is that I can walk miles in New Balance shoes because their extra-wide running shoes are comfortable for my bunions! I have several pairs to go with different outfits. I wear them when I go for walks or when I go out to eat! They look good, and they are versatile.

I Just bought another pair. I tend to wear out the outside heel on my shoes and have wide toes but narrow heels. I also need some height in the toe area and often feel pressure on the top of my toes. In other words, I am hard to fit. These shoes are perfect for me.

This is my third pair of this shoe and it is my favorite in my running shoe rotation. It is comfortable, wide enough for my wide feet, well cushioned, and durable. My only concern is the size. I previously purchased a size 8 and then a size 8 1/2 and both fit me. This time I purchased an 8 1/2 and it also fits fine, but comparing it to the prevous purchases, these new 8 1/2 shoes are closer in size to the previous size 8 than the previous size 8 1/2. So although I would definitely buy this fantastic shoe again, I would probably want to try it on for size first.

Great shoe for people with wide feet, high arches, and narrow heels. Lots of room in tow box.

This shoe style, with a wide toe box and a lot of cushioning and support, is perfect for my painful feet (I have had several foot surgeries). These are my everyday shoes, and I can walk three miles without pain in them.

I bought these because they were recommended for knee pain. I also have very wide feet, so I was really happy when I tried them on and felt how well they fit. I've been wearing them to work for about a week, and they have made a difference in my comfort and lessened the knee pain. I stand and walk quite a bit, so I really feel like these are a great choice. I might even buy a second pair.

The toe box is both wide and deep, while the heel box is narrow. The sole is thick and cushioning. Wish it came in more color choices--this is your best style for those of us who need a neutral cushioning shoe.

I am an avid runner with several foot issues. This is the only shoe I have been able to run in—pain-free—for the past few years. I wear customs orthotics in them. Roomy toe box is the key feature for me. And the style is not bad.

It's early on to discuss wear and other issues, but after just a couple of 5 mile runs the shoe is very comfortable and I haven't had any issues. I like a wide toe box and this shoe delivers on that.

I like these shoes. I wasn't sure of the size I needed because i usually try on shoes before I buy, but because of the pandemic I'm pretty much stuck at home and my old shoes were in very bad shape. I ordered a 7 and a 7.5 wide and the 7 fit perfectly and accommodate my custom orthotics. They're very comfortable for my daily exercise routine, with plenty of cushion. The style is a bit boxy but I don't care.

I usually stick with NB tennis shoes and these did not disappoint. I always order 1/2 size up in this brand and they fit great. I really like the gray color.

Fits great, looks great! Good for women with wide feet, has a high toe box and still fits well at the heel. Accommodates orthotics very well. I wore the shoes for hours the first day I got them. I'd buy this shoe again for sure. I had trouble getting a shoe that fit my new orthotics but remembered how helpful NB customer service had been in the past. So I emailed them questions and got a couple of options of which the 840v4 was one. Kudos to your Customer Service department--they come through even during a pandemic!

These sneakers are great! I have wide feet that need a large toe box. These fit the bill. I ordered a 7 WW and they are perfect. They are wide only where they need to be and the back part of the sneaker is supportive without risk of rubbing up on the back of your ankle. I will definitely be buying a second pair for the treadmill.
