These shoes have been a lifesaver. After having foot surgery, I had a hard time finding stylish shoes that would accommodate my orthotics and not put added pressure on my toes. These fit perfectly, and the stretchy upper fabric moves with my toes and is not constricting.
Thank you New Balance for offering stylish, comfortable shoes that are wider and deeper to accommodate orthotics.

These sneakers are one of the most comfortable I've had right out of the box. I have a very wide toe box and narrow heel, and these fit great and did not slip in the back. I would recommend for anyone with wide feet.

I love these shoes!!! The fit is perfect (wide) to accomodate my bunions without pinching, also tucked into my shoes are arch supports. And with all this they are extremely comfortable . So comfortable, in fact, this is my third pair.

Purchased the wide, and they were really a great fit. Lots of room in the toe-box. They were comfy from the first day i wore them.

I am on my feet at work all day as a pet nurse, and these shoes have been a solid part of my success! They fit great, offer lovely support, and are great for my “always on the go” job. Love that I was able to find what I needed in my size (12 narrow), so that I can be nimble and comfortable in shoes that actually fit.

I wear size 11, but always order 11.5 in athletic shoes. The 11.5 fit perfectly. The shoe also has lots of toe room for my Morton's Neuroma issues. I walk an hour every day and found these to be comfortable from day one. No need to break them in.

This is the shoe for my feet. I needed a wide and neutral cushioned and this is perfect. Love this shoe.

I have bought this style before and it's great for my wide feet and Morton's neuroma. Hope it is never discontinued.

Fit is great! I have a wide foot and athletic shoe sizing - event those designed as "wide" - are so variable. I needed a decent running shoe to walk, from walking the dog to simply running errands. Lots of comfort and support.

Finally I found a comfortable pair of shoes! The toe box was wide. I like them so much I bought a 6.5 2E for lighter socks and 7 2E for heavy socks. Thank you Zappos!

Out of the box these are great shoes. Wide toe box, removable insole accommodates sports insoles.
I have wide feet, bunions and hammertoes and these shoes work for me.

Loved these shoes from the moment I put them on. I need very wide shoes and I have to use orthotics. These attractive shoes fit the bill. The top of the shoe is a flexible fabric like material so it accommodates lots of issues such as bunions. Love these shoes and might order another so if I wear them out, I have another pair waiting.

I'm recovering from a broken fifth metatarsal, and was looking for shoes that did not compress my mid foot (still tender). These are great- I typically wear an 11 W in New Balance, but this 11.5 gave just enough extra space for my recovering foot to feel supported. I had also ordered an Extra Wide width of this same style and size and what felt wider was the toe box down to probably the second holes for the laces. The mid foot width felt about the same so this size was the winner!

These are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever worn! I wear a 9.5 EE and I have a high instep, and these shoes fit me very well. I really appreciate the roomy toe box. I really like the color combination (thunder/pisces), which looks to me like a dark smoky blue-grey and teal. Even the shoelaces are color-coordinated, with threads of teal in the dark blue-grey laces. The top of the toe box is a stretchy fabric, which I thinks adds to the comfort. It's labeled a running shoe. I am not a runner, so I don't know how they would work for runners. I use them for walking, workouts at the gym and all-around daily shoes. I also have a pair of 840v2 light grey Nubuck shoes, which are also very comfortable.

These New Balance athletic shoes are wide enough to accommodate my bunions. I can now walk comfortably.

I like the way these shoes feel when I walk. I have wide feet (and bunions), but these shoes come in wide sizes which are perfect for me.

This shoe fits well, true to size, and is comfortably flexible, but still offers support. Because of very high arches I replace the insole with one with more arch support and it fits just fine. The more neutral color combinations are also appreciated.

These have a wide toe box for someone with bunions. Often laces on a wide width are skimpy; however, these are an ample length. They have a good cushion when walking and provide good arch support.

I purchased one pair of these locally and came to Zappos for a second pair. The shoes were about $25 cheaper on Zappos. I need a wide toe box and 2E width because I wear a custom and bulky AFO brace. With the insole removed (normal for me), these fit my foot and brace perfectly. I especially like the thunder color.

Not a runner. I am however, a RN who works 18hr shifts regularly and I can attest 100% that these are the most comfortable shoes on earth. I walk miles a day in them through the most unimaginable filth and body fluids.

I have FINALLY found the oerfect shoe! I have a slightly wide foot, but not overly so. The fit issue I run into is that I have a high instep paired with a somewhat wide foot. I'm technically a C width in one foot and a B in the other. I have chronic peroneal tendinitis/tendonosis and wear orthotics, so I need a neutral shoe with a solid base and lots of cushion but not too mushy, PLUS I must have a 12mm drop to take the pressure off the peroneal tendons. This shoe fits the bill perfectly, and because it runs a bit wide, the B width fits like a glove. I've been a faithful customer of another expensive brand, but their shoes have been getting more and more narrow as the new models come out, so I went looking for a new favorite, and I found it! The cushion is awesome, but not smushy-still supportive, and because it's such a good platform that doesn't cut in too much under the arch, it supports my orthotics correctly AND I can even do dance aerobics in these-my foot is supported laterally without too much pressure on my high instep (like all cross trainers do to me). I am beyond thrilled with these. I'm just hoping they don't change the fit or discontinue these, which is often my bad luck when I finally find a shoe that works. Honestly, in 40 years I've never had a shoe that fits this well and performs this well. These are A+++++ EXCELLENT!

After bilateral buniectomies, these are the only sneaker I can wear all day! The wide size is perfect. Only complaint, we need more colors!
