I wear them virtually all of the time. They are the only fitness/whatever shoe that really fits and can accommodate my insert so well. I wish they made a tennis shoe with exactly the same foot bed, just a different sole.

My feet are very wide (EEEEEE) and finding shoes has been impossible until I discovered these. The expandable material at the ball of my foot stretches to fit. I'm so satisfied.

Love the feel of this shoe, although could only try on one since I broke a bone in my left foot. Looking forward to walking in these when I am healed.

Love the toe space and the looks of the shoe. Color is understated and just a bit of blue splash with the laces. More importantly for me, it fits my orthotics perfectly without losing fit.

The arch support is great in these shoes, I just wish the insert inside the show lasted longer.

Poor SupportGreat Support
The fit and size felt true. I’m a 7-4e for women. I did notice that the tongue on my shoe comes up a little more than the on on the men’s shoe that was posted with the tongue complaint so it’s possible his was an isolated incident or maybe an issue with the men’s shoes? In any case my feet had ample room to move without feeling pinched or restricted while wearing my favorite thick athletic socks. I’m VERY happy with my purchase and am considering buying a backup pair!

I've worn the 1540s for the last 5-6 years. They fit my wide feet perfectly, providing great support and comfort - I can wear them all day long. Since I'm now WFH I am wearing them almost every day. (Flip flops the other days.)

I use these shoes for power walking. I like the room bar that is built in the shoe. I tend to pronates and this shoe keeps my foot more stable.

Poor SupportGreat Support
This model New Balance shoes is so worth the high price. They wear for at least 3 years, all day long, rain or shine, at work 8 hours per day. The wider toe box means my toes have plenty of room to spread when I climb ladders, etc. with all my weight on my toes. They don't have gel, but the cushioning they do have seems just as good, overall. The heel platform isn't too high, so I don't feel like I am walking on a slant, and the arch support is there but not noticeable, which is fine for normal feet. Nothing is exaggerated, the shoes are just plain comfortable and very long wearing, very wroth t he cost.
I'd also recommend:
These are all I wear to work or for play or shopping.

I bought the this shoes because it was USA made. My son is in the Union and went to a Union meeting and asked me to buy USA made product. They spoke on how many jobs are saved if you buy USA made product. I use the shoes daily. The shoes is comfortable. Very quality made. Fit size is good.

Thank you, New Balance, for offering narrow sizes for many styles! This shoe is rock solid yet comfortable. The price was a hurdle to overcome, but worth it for the fitness benefits. Please keep making it because I'll be a repeat buyer!

I love New Balance Rollbar shoes, I have bought them for years. They help support my feet. If you have any problems with your feet wanting to roll to the side, these are your shoes. I will not buy any other shoe. The only problem I have is I wish there was more variety of colors in the rollbar shoes. Something bright and colorful for woman.

These shoes are just what I was looking for to use on camping trips. They broke in quickly and are both supportive and confortable. Extraordinary for women's athletic shoes in narrow width

I've been wearing different versions of this sneaker for over 15 years. First started when I got plantar fasciitis. I have never had an injury and I credit that in part to the stability these provide.
