I was not very impressed. The sneaker were not very comfortable for walking.

The shoes are OK, but kind of pricey for just OK shoes. I really do like that they are mostly "leather" and that the N is same color as shoe. They probably offer more stability than the 877's I have worn, but are not as comfortable. What I want is a good, comfortable walking shoe. ALSO, I never purchase white or black shoes and this is mostly what New Balance is going to. Keep gray ones, please!

Disappointing for me. The size I ordered was way to small. I would have to return a size 8 medium and replace them with a 9 wide.
I'd also recommend:
Merrell or teva

Shoe is the 6th one I've ordered in Narrow from NB and from other companies in the last 3 months trying to find shoe that fits my narrow foot. NB used to work for me but now is still too wide in the toe box. I am keeping these anyway as I need shoes.

My heel kept coming out of these shoes, no matter how I laced them. The other problem was the plastic like material at the toe bent in an odd way on one shoe and hurt the toes, the other shoe was fine. Shoe was also wider than my other New Balance shoes.

I've had two earlier versions of this shoe. The first one I liked the best. V2 was not quite as good, but the fit was fine (quality not up to par). This most recent version seems a bit flimsy in construction, but worst of all--the toe box is cut lower than the two previous versions. I could feel the top of the shoe hit the top of my big toe and was afraid that with daily wear, this could become a problem. Since I have bunions on both feet, I need that extra roominess, which was there in V1 and V2, but not in V3. I even tried returning and ordering the same shoe again, but experienced same problem, which is why I could only give it 2 stars for 'comfort'.

The shoe look nice and I am sure it would have been been comfortable but narrow by your standards was still to wide to fit my foot.

Hate when I have to spend over$125 to get a fair pair of shoes and then have to spend an additional $40 to get some real insoles! When I first started buying NB even the low end walking shoes were a great shoe

I'm unendingly frustrated with what the 847 has become. I bought my normal size (6.5 2E) and was swimming in them. I ended up keeping them out of desperation. They got a hole in the top of the she quickly. That's never happened with NB before. I could tell the pleather was cheaper than it had been before. So when i needed new shoes I went down a size (6 2E) and they are much better. NEVER have I had to go down a size. I'm finding the heal cup is shallow which is not what an underpronator needs at all. Now that these are awful, there are no underpronation shoes i can trust. If these were in the $70 range i could justify them but they're too expensive for what you get.

No where near as comfortable as my fresh foams. Unfortunately, I can't get those in all black. These are not attractive shoes, but they will do for work.

I did not care for them . The heel cup felt shallow like my , too wide. the foot was rising out of the shoe too far. Didn't like the way the toe area fit either. I miss the 847v2..

Excellent shoe while it lasts. I purchased the shoe April 2018 and by early Nov 2018 the rear half of the sole on one foot detached from the shoe. I walk 3+ miles every other day. I wonder how long my repair with Gorilla Glue will hold. I had a similar issue with another New Balance shoe.

The shoe is nice, very comfortable. It just had too much space . The size 13 shoe fit like a 13 1/2. I returned the shoes.

Please read these reviews. It is all true. My foot falls to the inside on my right foot. Too much material on side. It is too big in heal. The 847 was perfect. You just ruined it. Why why why? The v2 couldn't wear . Yikes baby boomers lived the old 847.

I have narrow feet. The toe box on these is wider than the 847V2 I have and even wider than the 990V4 I usually wear. I would not purchase these again for that reason.

I need a higher level shoe for working at the Post Office. The V3 is alright, but would have preferred the 847v2. The V3 seemed to run slightly larger than the V2.

They are not the same as the original 847. They keep messing it up. I'm wondering if they do read these reviews. So here goes too much material on side . Also heal is too wide. Toes box too high. Is there another new balance shoe I can wear? I just kept these and am wearing them .Not like the older versions. Not the v2 either that was really junk.. Baby boomers need there old version back!

I have been wearing the NB walking shoes for years. I loved the 847, even though I would have to buy a larger size than all my other shoes. The v3 is back to being true to size, but not in a good way. There is no insole, and the toe box is too big, the shoe longer than before, so beware. And the v3 has no pizazz to the style at all, just a clunky black shoe. I loved the almost patent leather design on the 2, and the stylish print on the soft parts around the heel. This one has no design interest at all. It is ok for walking if I wear a thick sock, but if not, they feel like they could fall off. I am a daily walker and have relied on my NB shoes for years. I am so disappointed with this model....a cheaper version at a higher price.

Have worn NB since the late 80s in a variety of styles, but especially the 84- walking series. The 847v3 is a real disappointment because the heel is does not fit. I have worn a lift in the left foot and have never had the problem I have with this shoe. I kept wearing it hope that it would finally conform to my foot, but no luck so far.
