Still need some arch supports & heel stickies to narrow up the heel - but happy feet makes me & everyone around me happy. I'll be ordering another pair soon.

I buy these because they are just about the only ones I can find in a 4EEEE. Glad they came in grey this time. Don't like white in the winter.

1540's work well for me. Just keep hoping you will come out with something in a black trim neutral with a little pop to go with black exercise tights. Great shoe.

I use to wear the 928 but when v3 came out those no longer fit. I love the fit of the 1540 I do wish there were more color choices something darker would be great.

This is my go to running shoe because I need a big toe box and I am an over pronator that runs mainly on roads and sidewalks. I would love, however, to have more choices of color in a woman's shoe. I wear a size 12 and have to have your major stability shoe. I had to settle for the grey which is still a great looking shoe, but I'm all about color.

I bought these for my wife and she absolutely loves them. The 1540's were recommended by her podiatrist and they have made a world of difference in how her feet feel. No doubt we will continue buying the NB 1540.

I bought these because I over pronate when I walk and recently sustained an injury because of my tendency. I selected this model because of its motion control feature. These do feel solid and stable and they are very comfortable. I love the blue laces but had to replace them with a pair of my own because I need to lace them up to the last hole; the blue laces can only be used if you lace them up to the second last hole. With New Balance it's been my experience that you must order a half size up. Fortunately the width is accurate--I wear narrow and there aren't that many companies that make that width.

For severe pronators, I found it was too stiff around the ankle

My Chiropractor and Foot Dr recommended the New Balance Store, and the machine recommended these, and my feet feel so much better! Not to mention my knees hips and lower back. I found another pair in PA while I was on vacation and I love those as well.

Since my doctor suggested these shoes for me years ago, I buy a new pair every 6 months. My doc said I should be wearing them 90% of the time. Since doing that, I can now walk around my home barefoot with without knee pain. The doc said these have "trained me to walk the right way". I walk alot and absolutely love them. Please make them in colors that are on trend like black and white. Thanks New Balance!

These are the most comfortable shoes I've worn in a long time. I've had several pair of the NB 880 but wanted something less bouncy for my knees. I love these 1540 because of the motion control and support. I walk a lot and on my feet at work. Like other reviewers, I'd buy more pairs in different colors if they were available. That's the only change I'd like to see.

Great for those with wide feet. Roomy square toe box. A bit heavy, but very manageable, worn gradually to break in. Only down fall is a short tongue, not much to hold onto to pull up.

I wear these shoes daily, workout, shopping, volunteering, work, everything! My feet fell well supported and light on my feet. My orthotics also fit in the shoes great'

These are a little heavier than most of the New Balance running shoes I have been wearing. With the rollbar they might take a little more breaking in. Overall New Balance are my running shoe of choice!

I bought these under advisement of my podiatrist. I have extreme over pronation along with some tendon issues and these keep my foot in place at all times. I work on my feet and even though my feet are still fatigued after a long day, it's not nearly as bad as it has been. I highly recommend these!

I've been buying 1540 2V for the last several years on the advice of my podiatrist. I wasn't sure about the 1540 3V upgrade. I ordered via online for the first time rather than going to the store. They came promptly but not laced. It took a few times before I realized that I was lacing them differently than my old pair. Now that I've corrected that minor detail they're exactly what I was looking for -- comfortable and lots of support. And i like the slight change in color.
