Customer Reviews New Balance 1165v1

I have recently had to switch to wider shoes because of arthritis. They are difficult to find and although these shoes look wider than they probably need to because of their design it was a blessing to find them because they accommodate my orthotics and they are very comfortable. I highly recommend these shoes!

My very first NB and I'm impressed! Haven't yet put these shoes on an actual used since I just received them yesterday. But by just trying them on, I can tell they will do a fantastic job on my feet. They feel super light and cushiony, just wonderful. I picked the neutral Castlerock color and it didn't disappoint.

I needed extra wide tennis shoes to work. This goes well with scrubs, but they do look like extra wide indeed, so not the cutest shoe. But the fact that they are super comfortable made this shoe a keeper. I work in a hospital on my feet for more than 12h/day and occasionally my feet get swollen. This shoe doesn't hurt anywhere, even by the end of the day. Arch support is average. Other good thing is that the insole doesn't get too smelly, so that's a plus! Got it on 9WW, which is my actual size. Recommended!

Ran small. Returning for a half size larger.

First time I tried extra wide and my feet feel so much better! I have pinched nerves so Dr recommended extra wide and my feet do feel better. Thank you!

Arch was too high for my daughter’s low arches. Please give suggestions.

Originally I ordered the shoe in my regular size of 10B. When I put them on, they felt very comfortable because of the mesh tops. But after walking around in the house a bit I felt that they were a tad too short. This surprised me, because I've always needed a 10B in New Balance. I ordered the 10 1/2 B and they feel much better. Small length difference and very small width difference, but enough to give me confidence that wearing a thicker sock won't be an issue and that as I walk in the summer and my feet expand, they will still be comfortable. The only reason I didn't give them a 5 star in 'Style' is that I think the shoe would have been more attractive with dark gray sole, rather than stark white.

I really loved the look of these shows but the arch support on the insole was just too high. It felt like my foot was rolling over it and that my ball and heel couldn't both stay flat on the ground when standing.

Needed extra-wide, comfortable shoes for daily walks. These fit the bill, plus, they are lightweight and stylish. Loving these NB shoes!

This shoe is extremely comfortable. The mesh top makes it wonderful for those of us who have bunions. Nothing presses. It's a light, airy shoe. If you're looking for a shoe to wear in the rain, this probably isn't the one. But for dry days, this is a great shoe for walking distances or just milling around town.
