I ended up returning these they did not fit correctly trying a different style and going a little bigger. The return system is great though really like NewBalance they do take care of you

Shoes fit. Liked Zappos display. Needed size 4-E with box toe. Could rotate shoes to see box toe.

Seems pretty good but better quality laces would be a bonus on a shoe of that price point!!

This is a great shoe for walking. I walk about 7 hours each week and this shoe provides the support I need. The toe box is a little wide for a normal width shoe.

I wear orthotics and also use carbon fiber AFO braces and it is a nightmare finding a shoe to accommodate that. This shoe does and I'm super happy with my purchase.

The fit was fine, but the softness of the soul makes it a little unstable.

Bought these in wide width for my husband who has very wide feet. He is so happy with his new shoes as they aren’t pinching his feet. They’d look good too. Kind of fresh and a fun happy color.

I bought the shoe because I walk, run, hike, etc and wanted a good all in one shoe that's cheaper than the 990s since the 990s are never on sale anymore (insert sad face). So far pleasantly surprised by the 840s. Seems to be comfortable with goid support. I doubt seriously that they will last like the 990s due because the 990s are made in USA and the 840s are made in Vietnam. On the plus side, a store employee said New balance pulled out of China and no longer makes shoes there. Kudos to New Balance for that, but bring more shoes back to being made in USA please, and increase production of the 990s please.

I wanted a pure walking shoe from NB ( like I usually buy) but did have my size this time. So I bought the 840 running shoe because I read of it's versatility.
It is a really handsome shoe and the fit is right for me ( 8 wide...2E ). You better have thinner socks on.
Comfortable too. The only thing is it's a mesh finish on the toe portion..which I knew when ordering. It is not reinforced on the inside. You can see your fingers thru it.
What this means you can poke a hole easily thru it. I had another mesh NB shoe years ago ( $160 shoe) and it didn't last as long as hoped for.
I usually buy a " solid shoe "...so I give this a whirl.
My honest opinion. Thank you.

Still trying to get used to these. The fit is a little looser than my last pair.

The only thing good about NB is the selection of shoe withs, and now that EEE is not offered they are not as good as they once were.

Running. Would be helpful for NB to post a page list with all the different model numbers and their details. With constantly changing model numbers difficult to choose what one likes.

Fit well like New Balance always does. Was hoping they would still have a shoe I used to wear but I believe New Balance has discontinued it.

I was disappointed to find the shoe was too big (at least a half size) and, just as important, much too heavy. For those reasons, I will be returning it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it makes it clearer to me that I should not buy shoes without trying them on first. It's just that I could not find these shoes in any size, any color, any place before buying.

Can’t believe that nobody has commented on this yet. I’ve been wearing 840’s for years (ever since I was prescribed orthotics). Love the large toe box & 4E availability.
Comfortable as usual, and I actually liked the style & color (ordered Oxygen Gray).
But the tongue! NB has decided to lengthen it and add stitching that causes it to ride up the instep. From the front, it looks like I’m wearing hi-tops. From the side, the shoe looks ridiculous (not obvious in the pics).
Thought that I got a bad pair, but a YouTube review showed me that this is how they’re designed. I’m not a runner, so I just want my shoes to look good.
Obviously returning. If anyone can recommend a shoe (any brand/style) that comes in a 4E, has a large toe box, neutral support & fits orthotics, I’d appreciate the info!

I like the 840v5 it is a comfortable shoe, but the 840v4 was better looking, felt better constructed, and was just all around better shoe. I've own probably 10 pairs of 840s from version 2 to 5 and they got better every time till this gen.

I wear these as everyday shoes. Super arch support keeps me walking, making contact across the foot instead of the sides of my feet. Size 13 was always too big and my toes hit with size 12. Size 12-1/2 gives me a perfect fit.

I have narrow fit with flat, at times painful, arches. For me, this model easier on my arches than the 1540
Somewhat more cushioning might also help

I use these sneakers to power walk-some would consider that a slow run. It is hard for me to find 4 E in the quality sneakers, the colors which are interesting play a large role. In the end it matters how i feel in the sneakers, not what other perceive of my color coordination. Thanks Good product

I have purchased many 840 series shoes over the years and I don't just like them. I need them. The foam sole shoes cause me to have Achilles tendon issues. The sole on this 840 v5 offers a little stiffer cushion that i need.
