Customer Reviews New Balance 1201

Very comfortable. I can wiggle my toes- roomy.

I like the round shoelaces

With my AFO, it fits just right and the shoe is stable.

I am a double WIDE fit; however, thin walking socks (NOT hiking socks) work wonderfully. The fit and comfort in this sneaker is excellent as compared to OTHER shoes advertised as WIDE for walking, hiking, etc.

I walk approximately 4-5 miles on sidewalk surfaces every day. This shoe is comfortable but could use more insole cushion for the ball of your foot. The soles of the shoe should lasts for a very long time. I would recommend but note that it does run more narrow than usual.

These shoes are pretty comfortable. I have a long narrow foot, yet like toe room. The laces are easily tightened or loosened g G or a good fit. They are a little stiffer than my other walking shoes, but I think I’ll Get used to it. Not cute, though.

I have worn other NB walking shoes for years, but these weren't for me, so I returned them. Nice looking, but toe box was tight, and I need more support in the foot bed.

Fit and size seemed true, but I encountered the problem that I often have: my narrow heel kept slipping up at the back, pulling my sock down into the shoe with too much friction. I can't choose a narrower size because of my medium forefoot.

Well-constructed, sturdy shoe, but it felt like a standard width, not the wide (D) width I ordered. Will order in wider size if possible.

Got these shoes for a half sole orthotic an AFO Arizona brace.. The shoes squeak. The shoe w/o the orthotic is moderately comfortable.

I had to go up a half size, and it fits fine and is comfortable for walking on pavement. Styling and color are nice. Toe box is roomy so i hope it will be a good shoe for being on my feet all day.

The style is a little bulky and the color is dull, but in terms of comfort, they are great. I have a WW foot and frequently have problems with athletic shoes. Not these. Great fit and very comfortable.

I bought these because they were the closest thing to replace very old New Balance shoes which had been discontinued. It is way too soon to say whether they will last nearly as long--wonderful, sturdy soles on the old ones that never wore out!—or be as comfortable, but after one wearing, mostly walking 18 holes of golf, they are off to a good start and seem quite comfortable, and my feet didn’t hurt when I tool them off. If I still feel the same way about them after many wearings, I will give them an overall five!

I've only tried them on, but the shoe is a little tight with a thick sock (I wear a EE), which is disappointing since there isn't any option to get one wider. However, with a thin sock I think it will work well. I wear orthotics and haven't tried them with the orthotics, but I suspect there isn't enough room for one. In the past, I always found New Balance shoes comfortable and wide enough, so I'm a little disappointed, but I'm keeping them because this seems to be a problem with all the shoes I buy.

I returned these shoes because they felt short.
