These are comfortable, a little bit roomy in the heel in the wide width, but I need it in the toes. I'm not crazy about all the new sneakers with the extra thick soles, which make the shoes bulkier. I wear a large size, so I'm always looking for shoes that make my feet look smaller and these definitely don't. My old NB's that are wearing out look slimmer and less massive. I'm keeping these for my daily walks though.

These are comfortable and have a stable footbed. The entire top is fabric though and my foot moved around a bit.

Loved the shoe but after wearing, it appears to have too much cushioning. I could feel it in my hips and lower back. I need a firmer sole. Trying to find one in hard and soft has been very hard.

I normally wear a 10.5 in running shoes (10 normally) these felt just a little bit big for a 10.5 but a 10 would have been too short in the toes. They did feel comfy but the squeaking. These shoes squeaked horribly, on every surface. I work in a hospital and don’t need to be heard from a mile away! So for that reason I did have to send them back

When I first bought these, I had to get adjusted to the sole. I wasn't accustomed to wearing such a thick, supportive sole. I've gotten used to them now, and they feel great. Next time, I'll order a half size down, since they are a little longer than my other sneakers.

These are so comfortable but too large in length and width for me. They could be a bit more supportive but the arch support and subtle style is what I was looking for. I don't know why it's so difficult to find a sneaker that fits this year. I have worn New Balance for years and always wore a size 6 but these are huge on me. So disappointed that I have to return.

This show is comfortable and helps reduce pain in my knees and feet. Like all running shoes though they wear out pretty fast. Otherwise it would have been all five stars.

I normally wear a 5 or 5.5 medium. These shoes run small and I had to buy a size 6.
The fabric is nice and not at all stiff. Shoes appear to be well made.

These “regular” width were a full 1/4 inch narrower than their predecessor. You nay need a Wide, whereas my wide feet previously took regular. Great structure.

These shoes are super comfortable. I love everything about them except I think I need a tad bit more support. I am an EXTREME over pronator and these do a decent job of supporting me but just not quite enough. So if you over pronate some but not to an extreme amount, then these might be the shoes for your

I always need a wide shoe, but this NB "wide" is really wide! My toes can actually wiggle and I have a lot of room at the widest part of the foot (almost too much room I worry but maybe that's because I've never had shoes with room). I don't dare go down a size and will report back if it's a problem. Just know that their wide size is truly wide, not like other brands. Enjoy!

Pretty sneaker however the toe box is too wide for very narrow feet! I bought them to see if they fit like the 840V. Therefore, I must return this.

Originally bought nine since my old New Balance are nine. Ties came up to front so exchanged for 9.5. I might’ve even been able to wear ten. My shoe size is 8 or 8.5. Truthfully not much difference between 9 and 9,5. but heel was looser. I like to put Dr Scholls foam inserts in since these are not super soft underfoot. It makes it a bit tight to do this with these new 940’s. I’m recovering from knee replacement and also have peroneal and Achilles tendinitis. Have to wear a brace that goes inside the shoe so on the affected foot, took out the liner. The sneaker gives very good support and seems to help stabilize. Do think front toe region could be slightly roomier and I have a slim foot.

This is the first time buying the 940. I already have a pair of 840's, which I love. The 940's are a will made shoe, but the inside feels pretty stiff. I bought them online, so I probably would have gone with the 840's again if I had been able to try on the 940's. Again, the 940's are not bad, just not as comfortable as the 840's.

I have a very long, extremely narrow foot. Shoe was not available in double narrow, so I took a chance on narrow. So glad I did! With my orthotics and some heavy socks, they fit fine ... a little roomier in the toes than ideal, but they work. Plus I love the look.

Nice shoes...stable BUT better cushion than the 860s. My daughter needed more shock absorption to counter some lower leg issues that hampered her during the XC season, and the 940V4s seem to be the answer!

I really like this shoe in a size 10.5N,but my toe was right at the tip. I sent them back for an 11N, and was disappointed that they were much wider than the 10.5N. The shoe looks nice and has a sturdy/ hard sole, which is very stabilizing. I would rate this a 5 star if it were truly a narrow. As a girl with a long skinny foot, I know how hard it is to find a shoe that doesn’t look like an orthotic/ geriatric shoe that fits.

I use these shoes for aerobic and floor exercises as well as for casual wear. I have a pair of 840v3 that fit me well, but when I tried to replace them with 840v4, I found that the design had changed in the toe area. The toe area of the 940v4 is similar to the 840v3 and seems to fit without rubbing the tops of my toes. I am giving it 4 stars because the colors available are limited and not as interesting as my old pair.

These shoes were very nice and I am sure will be great for the right foot. Due to bunions I wear a WW or XW; however, these were not wide enough for me and not as wide as my previous NBs.
