The construction of the sneaker is great as always. The one issue is size fit. My old 940's were a perfect fit, in this model, same size, my feet slide, they are longer..

The shoe seems heavy to me when walking. I like the look but not the weight of the shoe. My old 680's seemed much lighter.

I am a long time New Balance wearer and these gave me blisters to my left instep. My right foot is fine and the shoe feels amazing but I have flat feet and these shoes just didn't agree with me. I thought if I continued to ear them I would break them in but 2 weeks and still getting blisters. Be careful buying these if you have flat feet :(

first time buyer of New Balance. The shoes look nice, fit nice and feel good, however I walk about 6-11 miles per day, depending on the day. Twice I've worn my new shoes and got a very long blister along the inside of my heel. I stopped wearing them for about a week to let the blister heal, now I am easing back into them wearing them on short walks and increasing my time with them hopefully to break them in or whatever so that I don't get a blister the next time I wear them for a long walk. If that doesn't happen, I'll be looking to return them. If everything seems to adjust fine, they'll be great.

I walk about 20 - 30 miles a week and I use this pair of shoes for walking. It gives me good support and is comfortable.

The shoe feels looser and does not provide the same amount of support. I might have to add to the insert. I do appreciate that you carry shoes in my size 12 Narrow

I use for walking and around the house. The shoe is large/wide in the front for a narrow, also it doesn't support the foot as well as the older the model shoes. Also, it is on the expensive side for what you get.

I use these to run a couple of miles at a time, and to work out (HIIT/lifting in my living room at the moment!) I've experienced some "denting" along the toe box which has become very uncomfortable. Sometimes my toes snag on these plastic corners on the inside of the shoe. In terms of sizing, these are actually smaller than my typical NB size (10 narrow) - I purchased a 9.5 narrow, so I don't think its a matter of these being too big... Unfortunately it is too late for these to go back.

Very disappointed. Have worn 940 v3 for many years And have been quite happy. Fits my orthotics, motion Controlled, soft inside. This new version has Much less room in toe box And by end of shift my feet feel like they will burst out of shoes. Have ordered next size up in Hope they sized differently. Not optimistic.

I normally buy the 11.5 Narrow & it usually fit before this shoe. This shoe is sliding off of my heel & usually NB 11.5 AA shoes fit me perfectly. I think NB has made changes to the sizing that they didn't inform customers with large, narrow feet about recently.

Wish I could keep- I typically order a narrow, sometimes a medium width. Ordered this shoe in narrow- too wide.

These seem to run very wide. I returned them because my foot had too much lateral movement in them.

These run long and wide for my narrow foot, even with my orthotic in. Wish Saucony and Mizuno still made narrows.....

Needed a run/walk shoe with more cushion and better support since I have flat feet. I bought wide widths because my foot tends to need a bit more room in this kind of shoe. These hit the mark on the first two items. The wide width is too wide for my foot however. Wish now that I’d stayed with normal width.
I'd also recommend:

I like these shoes. They're relatively supportive. Not as much support as I'd like, but the best shoe I've been able to find to date. I wish they came in more colors although this color is pretty basic, and I wear them a lot.

I always wear a 9.5 N in New Balance and these ran short. The toe box was deep causing a wrinkle when I walked. And they look very wide from my vantage point looking down on them. Just not happy so sent them back.

I really wanted these sneakers to fit.the toe area was good but the heel was gaping.I've been wearing a 10.5 2E new balance and these ran quite wide in the width and overall big.

I need a size 12 Narrow in a running shoe. This size is difficult to find so I was excited to order the New Balance 940s and had high hopes for these shoes to fit. Sadly, these shoes were still way too wide. I wish New Balance still made the 860s in a 12 Narrow. This model fit perfectly!

Guess I don't need a shoe for overpronating because it did make me underpronate too much it was like walking on the outside of my heel..better look for a neutral shoe...thanks Zappos for your quick delivery!!

This shoe was very comfortable, however the toe box was too wide for me. I found that my forefoot moved too much for my comfort.

This is a well-made shoe but the color scheme was not attractive and the padding was not comparable to the discontinued 1080 which I love.

I ordered 11 1/2 AA but they don't seem like AA. My feet slip around in them. I will try them with heavier socks and hope they feel better.

I hope this review can help someone else...my feet are flat, thin and an 8 - 8.5. Ordered these in 8.5. They are long, wide in toe box and cushioned -not enough arch support or stability. I had one of these on and one of the OnCloud Flyers (those too are going back)..the OC were more supportive.
Waiting on the Rubix to arrive.....
I have run in Asics Gel Kayano, and Mizunos.....

I walk 10 miles a day. I've been using Version 3 and loved them. This new version is good except I don't like the fabric and the light color which is already dirty after two days of walking. They don't seem to have as much support as the Version 3.

I am very unhappy with the mesh on the toe part of the shoe I have not had them that long and my toe poked through and made a hole which gets bigger and bigger! I would not recommend the shoe for that reason. Plus they seem to be wearing out quickly.
