I have used the 940 for quite a few years and reorder because it meets my needs for cushion, wide toe, support for foot that turns inward. BUT please bring back a leather patch over the toes. I seem to break thru with big toe on one foot every time. Doesn't look good and seems to allow dirt in. I order a men's style for the width. Overall very happy with this shoe.

As usual, these New Balance shoes look & feel great. I'd not tried this particular model before, but was very satisified upon arrival and trying out, now over several miles of jogging.

Generally, these shoes feel pretty good but I am having an issue trying to isolate my left heel and keep it from slipping inside the shoe as I walk/jog. Generally, New Balance shoes have a very similar feel/fit and with a bit of string adjustment and lacing pattern, I'm set. With these, I have to cinch things down almost uncomfortably tight across my instep to keep the heel in place. Also, unfortunately, this is an issue that didn't really manifest until I'd broken the shoes in a bit, so they are not eligible for return. I'm hoping I can get this worked out and/or that fully breaking the shoes in alleviates the issue but these may not be my longest lasting pair of running shoes if I cannot get this resolved.

I've been a runner for nearly 60 years, and New Balance has always been my choice for running shoes and will continue to be (Can't teach an old dog new tricks). The 940V4 is a great shoe, but I encountered a problem only with the right shoe in that it was rubbing on the inside of my right ankle. I returned the shes to Zappo and was granted a full refund which I will use to make another NB purchase again from Zappo.

Have a hard time finding shoes that don't make my feet hurt. These shoes are great, no more hurt feet.

They look great but they aren't as comfortable as the 993's. I am diabetic and need really comfortable shoes and these just don't cut for me.

I got these shoes at the direction of my foot doctor. I was having severe pain in my left foot when I walked; I was even limping it was so bad. He told me it was because I was over-pronating. He took my favorite NB 574's and twisted them to show me how easily they would bend and give me no side support. He said I needed a stiffer shoe that would retain its shape. He recommended the New Balance 940. They work! I still have some pain of course but from the first time I put them on I could feel the added support. They definitely do NOT bend! Frankly I liked the look and feel of the 574's much better. More comfortable and more stylish. I have a couple of pairs of them. I guess I won't be able to wear them anymore. Bummer. But it's a trade-off. I'm sure they'll get more comfy as I wear them in, and I'd much rather be able to walk again in comfort than to look cool....

Size, fit and support are good, but paper lining in the left -toe area is rubbing my big toe. Going to require some modification.

I initially ordered a larger size because my size was not available, and ended up keeping them for over a year. I say it is a solid shoe. A little more pricey than the other running shoes, but feel that the quality and durability make it pretty worthwhile.

These shoes fit a little snug at first. They have a cool design but they work for walking. May have to look into more colors.

I have very narrow feet, so I am hard to fit. The "narrow" shoe, of which there is just a smaller sample to choose from, is never narrow enough. That said, I am used to shoes not fitting my feet exactly. As these are, they are more narrow than the regular width, so I'll take them!

After wearing NB 1080's for a couple of years, I wanted more stability and less feeling like walking on a cloud (kinda) feel. I think these are good for me, I have plenty of toe room and I love the stability in the heel that isn't there in so many shoes. And it's not a stiff, blah shoe. It has a little style, on the conservative side... looking similar to old New Balance shoes. I also have a special metatarsal insole I have to wear, and these shoes are accepting them fine. I got these shoes to try and find some that will work better walking a lot since we are planning a vacation out west where we will have to walk a lot. I feel good about these shoes.

However, I have never quite found the one shoe that compares with the comfort for walking, golf, etc which was your 1340 v2/N2. As u can see the cushioning of the 940v4 is close.
