My third pair! NB makes the best wide (4E) running shoes. I put lots of miles on these and they are comfortable to the end.

I am not using these New Balance with the arch support that came with them. I substituted custom made supports. The specialist that made the supports recommended this model New Balance. I am very pleased that I followed the recommendation.

I've always had multiple problems with my feet, requiring cumbersome and complicated orthotics. The difficulties lessened in some ways, but increased in others, after two knee replacements. As per my podiatrist, I needed a straight- and flat-last shoe with good motion control, a fairly narrow width, sufficient room in the toe-box, etc. He recommended that I look into New Balance's offerings. According to both my podiatrist and my physical therapist, who've examined this shoe and observed me walking around and exercising in it, it's excellent for my needs and purposes. Like all shoes, especially with the kinds of changes that I've been going through, it seemed a little uncomfortable, or maybe just unfamiliar, at first, but after a week or two of wear and walkiing, I've settled into it. And I'm thankful for it and its various helpful features. My one quiibble about it is one that other people have had about it: the laces are good, but too short to take advantage of every eyelet for max stability, especially if you're inclined to tie your laces with a double bow.

I wear a brace for a condition, known as drop foot. I went to a specialist to get a pair of shoes, fit it for me for my dropped foot and diabetes. They're very hard to get into. This new balance shoe work extremely well with my brace and is easy to get on.

I've only used them for a while but I love how bouncy the shoe is and how much support it has. Especially on the outer edges for those of us who pronate. It feels comfortable and light to wear. Plus I love how stylish it is

Felt comfortable right out of the box and had extra space on the top of my foot where a lot of shoes feel narrow or tight.

Been wearing 1540s for several years, they help a lot with Morton's Neuroma (+custom insoles). Never seem to be on sale. But proven with my feet so just got new ones.

These are 6E fit great I wear them at my workout no more chafing or callous on the side of the toe. I'll order an extra pair before this style is discontinued.

I work on concrete all day, have concrete floors in apartment, my feet were KILLING me! Started having hip, knee, back pain too. Dr. told me to get a job sitting down...HA!...., sent me to physical therapy, didn't help so much. Got these New Balance shoes and that has made a world of difference. I am on my second pair of same style and they have saved my ability to walk. Oh and for at home I tried a pair of the Oofos sandals too, OMG, they are a must have, around the house, shoe also. The company calls them a "recovery shoe", and Im telling you, I don't walk barefoot on concrete any longer. LOVE, NEW BALANCE & OOFOS

I have one pair of these that I use for running and one pair that I use for walking. They are great for cushioning and for stability. I also like that they come in an extra extra wide width.

My husband loves these shoes! And he is extremely picky about his shoes!! He says they fit well (he wears 14EEEE) and are comfortable. He is able to place his orthotics inside these shoes with no problem.

Normally wear 7.5, but 8 works great with this shoe. This shoe is extremely stable, emphasis on pronation control.

I wear every other day or every day if I can get the blue/gray color. The sl-2 last is by far the best fit for me(size 10.5 6E). Since making in Vietnam I haven't been able to get blue/gray in my size and tried other models that don't fit as good. The Vietnam ones fit perfect and I am on the wait list for a blue/gray pair.
