Customer Reviews New Balance 940v4

Do not what has happened to NB.... I have worn for years. NB was made in USA and the narrow fits were always fabulous for me. Great fit, comfortable and style. This shoe is not narrow and slips on my heel. Also not made in USA. Unfortunately I am now spending time looking for a new shoe.

I have a narrow foot and I have been very happy with NB until now. I bought the 940 to replace my 1260's and no matter how I tied the shoe laces, or what socks i put on, the heel slipped. I returned them and bought Brooks Ghost 12. Great fit.

These shoes felt great to me--until I started walking in them for exercise. The description says they are designed to correct for overpronation so I tried them with and without the partial orthotics I have to correct for that problem. Despite giving them a go for two weeks, I finally had to box them up for return because they caused me to experience shin cramping (shin splints). Yesterday I had to cut my walk short because the pain became too much. Today, I took the same walk, for the same length of time, in my "substitute walking shoes" (used for when I'm between new running shoes) and had not discomfort whatsoever. I have no doubt my problem stemmed from these shoes. So sad, since I loved how they fit and how they looked! P.S.: I wear 6.5-7 Narrow and ordered 7Narrow. Length and width were definitely true to size and very comfortable.

I was looking for a shoe with room for my orthotic that includes a 1/8 inch wedge lift on one shoe. This shoe was not high enough to accommodate that.

I started wearing these right away when I received them and honestly I was thinking how I should write about how they were just what I needed- but then the pain started. First above my knee, then under. Then up the back of my legs, then my lower back. I would put them on in the morning and I couldn’t wait to take them off. I told myself it was just everything adjusting to the angle of the soles meant to counter my pronation and I’d get used to it but it just got worse and worse until I hurt from head-to-toe on Christmas Day. I took them off and I won’t ever put them back on again. I put my old Brooks back on and that’s it - today, no more pain. Oh my gosh these made me so miserable. And now I’m even more miserable knowing they cost me a chunk of change I’ll never get back Oh, and btw - if you walk outdoors with these anywhere it snows they are like wearing ice skates. The sole is a bit harder than most athletic shoes (for support I assume) and snow accumulates in the open space in the middle of the sole and will take you out if you aren’t careful I used to always wear New Balance but these are probably the last pair I’ll buy. Wish I’d never bought them

These shoes were amazingly uncomfortable. I only had to put one shoe on to know they were getting returned. Most uncomfortable and still around the heal and ankle.

really cramped in toe box -- they really aggravated the metataralgia in my right foot that had otherwise been getting better.

Light weight shoe and cool looking as well as just COOL

these shoes eliminated my neuroma pain. Best shoes ever!

The shoe fit as expected. I've ordered 940s for a while now because I have an issue with overpronation. They've always provided the support that I need.

Perfect fit true to size. Comfortable and durable.

Have a wide foot and some difficulty walking. For me this sneaker works very well . Good support and comfort. Ordered a second pair

I really like these shoes. I've had 2 pairs. It appears they are no longer available.

Third pair of this style that I have purchased. Comfortable and durable. I wish more colors were available.

Everything was perfect except they made the ball of my left foot hurt. No idea why but decided to return them

Keep making this shoe. This is my go to style that comes in extra wide. New Balance is the only brand I buy.

Love these shoes. Great fit, support and comfort.
