The width was fine. The heel depth was too deep. The toe box felt cramped. Had to return these.

These seem to run wide, I tried them out at home and when walking they bunched up at the toe box. They also look very geriatric....but I could have overlooked it if they worked!

These shoes are very stiff. I need more flexible shoes.

Just not the same shoe I have been wearing, so will return. Color is not white, and it feels like plastic....not the same quality I have seen from New Balance.

This is the best walking shoe I've ever worn. These shoes never let me down — until recently. They used to last me a year, but now I'm lucky if I get 6 months out of a pair before the cushioning is gone. The rest of the shoe is still in reasonable shape, but aching feet at the end of the day is the sure sign that it's time for new shoes. I'm looking for a replacement that will last longer.

I have balance issues, following a back surgery 8 years ago. I have always ordered New Balance for the stability and motion control features as well as pronated toe. I am finding it difficult to find the comfort I used to. The quality of shoes seems to have declined in the product. I returned my favorite style for this 840v2, and although the width is better the comfort is not as I liked in the 857.

I ordered the 840v2 in a 9 W and received them today. I have an older model of this shoe which was a 9 W as well as other New Balance Shoes. I have always worn a 9 W. When comparing the new shoe with the older shoe, it was obvious that the new shoe was cut narrower than my older shoe and my foot was hurting. I called customer service and spoke to Ben. He was not helpful at all. I've returned these shoes and reordered them in an extra wide.

The fit was good BUT it lacked the cushion that I was looking for. They seemed a bit hard and unyielding.

wanted so badly to love these after reading positive reviews but after 2nd or 3rd day of wearing these to work my feet are still sore and my big toe too, my legs are tired and sore from working on my feet and really prayed for a pair of sneakers that would make my feet not hurt after being on feet for hours, unfortunately my feet still hurt. Also, didtn have these in black in my size.

Problem is I needed to return the shoe and it did not come with return label, upon calling cs I had to give them all of my personal info over the phone just to get a return label. Too much trouble!

Unfortunately for me the shoe does not have enough flexibility. I have an ankle issue and it keeps it too rigid.

If you're looking for more stability then cushion I would say this is a good shoe. Not enough cushion for me and just too uncomfortable. Will be sending back.

I have a bunion on the left foot so I'm problematic to fit. However, I used to be able to rely on New Balance walking shoes almost exclusively, but over the last 2 years NB hasn't had one shoe that I can wear comfortably. Even to the point of the last pair severly hurting my feet and ankles. In desperation I went back to EasySpirit which I had worn years ago, and whew! What a relief. If my feet were still a perfect 10, the Romy would be perfect. With the bunion, the size 10 W is a little tight, but I'm wearing them loose for a bit and they're feeling like they will work, and after just a few days my feet don't hurt. So totally worth it.

I do not know why buying the same model varies so much the size of the shoes

The sneakers didn't fit me. So, I sent them back, and the credit wasn't issued for two weeks. I've been wearing New Balance sneakers for a long time, and can't understand why when they take my money out right away for a purchase, it takes over two weeks to get the credit.

Comfortable Leather shoes for winter is what I wanted. These shoes are stiff, hard, inflexible. I'm on my feet all day and need good support and good feeling shoes. These shoes are definitely not that. They don't smell or feel like leather. The size is not consistent with my other two old pairs of NewBalance shoes. I returned them. So disappointed.

As much as I would have liked to write a positive review, these shoes crippled my foot. Couldn’t walk for two days. They have now been returned. Can’t say I would recommend them to anyone.

This is the third or fourth pair of NB840v2, size 8D, that I have purchased over the last few years. This newest pair is much, much wider than the previous pairs. The shoes are so wide that I wonder if the size were marked incorrectly or if New Balance actually changed the dimensions of this shoe. I am very disappointed.

I was extremely disappointed in this shoe which has very little cushioning, and it is nothing like the 847v2 that I have worn and loved. I spoke at length with customer service, and the young man was very helpful in doing his best to try to find something close to the shoe I had been wearing. But, it looks like New Balance is not making anything like the 847v2 anymore. Too bad! After many years of wearing and praising New Balance shoes, I may have to find another brand.
