I have ordered these same sneakers for a number of years. They provide the proper support for active people.

I have one foot that turns in, which has become very painful. These are the only shoes that take away the pain.
They also look stylish with nice colour.

I love the color and style of these shoes. I having been wearing New Balance running shoes for years. These feel slightly narrower and a bit lower in the heel. I worried about the heel slipping but it seems to be working out fine. I remove the insoles and insert custom made orthotic insoles so I can't comment on the arch support.

Have been wearing this shoe for >6 years and works great for me. Problem has been finding my size & width due to supply chain issues. Applaud your search engine for finding this (2nd) pair for me! Have passed along your name to friends with similar problem. Keep up the good work

None. This is "go to" item for me

My feet are narrow and these are the only shoes that are narrow! They are very comfortable and have a nice high arch. Love the shoes!

The fit is great. I've always had trouble finding a size 10 1/2 N and my foot always moved around in the M width sneaker,
Thank you New Balance for providing a well fitted 1/2 size narrow width sneaker.

This was a gift for my older sister. I called her for the ratings. She always brought New Balance 1540 before and is happy with them.

Great fit as usual with New Balance. I have very narrow feet that are hard to fit and these work!

I’ve been wearing the New Balance 1540 motion control shoes for many years. I have an ankle instability problem, and these shoes are wide enough to accommodate my custom orthotics.

No others, can only wear New Balance 1540’s.

I have difficult feet that are wide and flat. These shoes in a 4E wide are perfect. I also have a small bunion on both big toes and the mesh on the side gives that extra room to expand and not push on it. Anything else I have tried hurt my feet. Very impressed with New Balance quality.

I have been wearing these shoes for years because I can use my orthotics
with them and they were recommended to me by a podiatrist. They give me excellent support so my feet do not hurt when I go for long walks of 5 miles or more. They are not highly cushioned.

I love the fit and style of this sneaker which is very helpful with plantar fasciitis. Fourth pair:) So very comfy and good cushioning to assist with my fallen metatarsils.

Love these shoes! They fit very well and are of high quality. I love that the toe is roomy, but not too much so. Several friends are complaining of toe problems....not sure if that comes from too tight shoes, but the rounded toe creates comfort and stability. I fell and broke a kneecap almost two years ago and also injured the meniscus. Good fitting shoes are very important for walking the dog, etc. These are great!

Ordering was simple & delivery on time. Comfortable sneaker especially since I replace insole with a prescribed insole. Would like to see diverse colors in the future.

The fit is perfect. Very comfortable. Great shoe.
Some people complained that the laces were too short when laced through the the last hole. I did not put the laces in the last hole and the length of the laces is perfect and does not slide off the tongue of the shoe.

True to size and width. Lots of support with active lifestyle - being on my feet walking much of the day. Helps me not to pronate too much when I walk.

Fits true to size. Lots of support for those of us who tend to pronate/ roll inward when we walk.

I originally ordered this shoe in a 12, 2A, because New Balance seems to run short on me. The 12 was too big and I tried to order an 11.5 but they were not in stock. I decided to try the 11, 2A, hoping it would fit but it was too short. ASICS is no longer making 2A narrow shoes and New Balance isn't far behind. I loved the 1540V3 for comfort and love the roll bar. Don't know what people with narrow feet are supposed to do about athletic shoes. I have a 4AAAA heel and can absolutely not wear medium shoes. Guess we're out of luck! Thank you Zappos for carrying the ones they do make.
I'd also recommend:
ASICS but they have dropped the 2A shoes.
