It feels like I'm walking in a bed of cushions. I've had multiple hip surgeries and sciatica, these shoes have helped to lessen the pressure. I bought two pair to rotate (in store purchase for the other) and hopefully extend the life of my shoes.

It only took 2 days to break them in. I take a 2e and I have room to move. The toe bed is roomy so my toes can spread out. Great sneakers!

Very comfortable from the first time I wore them, I was a bit nervous about the replacement for the discontinued model I had worn for several years, but this version is very comfortable and supportive! Thank you!!

This is a great looking shoe, but it doesn't support my foot, my food rolls in.

I tried a pair of Asics, but I have to return them as well. They did not fit well at all.

The 840 series is the best shoe for my narrow feet with high arches. The AA size is perfect and they accommodate my orthotics. The only problems are finding them in 11 AA or 11 1/2 AA and finding the colors I prefer.

I am an avid runner. I tried on about 25 different running shoes in the store and these seemed to feel the best and actually have some arch support. I have run in them twice now and the heel cup doesn't seem to hug my heel like it should and the laces were cutting into my lower ankle a bit. Maybe I'm just getting old and hard to please.

I have size 11.5 narrow in NB. This is 2nd pair of 840's. - fit is similar to 840v4.

Weak arch and midsole support. I have used several prior versions of this shoe and was happy with the fit. The v5 does not meet my needs. I have worn the v5 for shopping and for walking the dog. The v5 does not have as much arch and midsole support as v4. I can feel and see the difference when I walk. The right shoe rolls inwards. I now wear the v5 for lawn work only. I am searching for a different shoe.

I recently discovered that Zappos carried a New Balance shoe that my orthopedic shoe store could not carry any longer. This model 840v5 fits my orthotics very well, and feels very comfortable. I was very satisfied with my order, and intend to order from Zappos again in the future. I also want to add that I was very impressed with their customer service. My order was shipped quickly and with ease!

I have foot issues that required the purchase of custom orthotics. The woman that made the orthotics pointed me in the direction of this shoe because it's available in a wide width and had a neutral bottom. I love this shoe! It's very comfortable and the pale gray color is very pleasing.

I have worn the New Balance 840 model of running shoe for at least 10 years and have always found it to be an amazing shoe for walking/jogging. I love New Balance because, in the past, they have always had an extensive selection of colors, sizes, and widths available. My only complaint is that it seems like it's not offered in narrow width as often or in many color choices and that New Balance seems to only cater to wide/extra wide sizes now. The narrow width seems to sell out extremely fast and is not available even after more than a month.

I really like this style of shoe. It's very comfortable. I have wide feet and find that ordering in the E (extra wide) gives me the best fit. This shoe is also available in pretty colors and look great! I have ordered this style previously, and it is my go-to shoe for being active. When they wear out, I look for them at the New Balance store but they don't usually have the width in stock. So, I have been ordering online at newbalance.com which is very easy and convenient.

I have worn wide width New Balance shoes for quite a number of years which were purchased from J C Penney. They were comfortable and served as great walking shoes. Unfortunately New Balance is no longer available from J C Penney. The shoes I have worn for years do not appear to be made as well as they used to be, and therefore forced to pay twice as much for shoes. The 840 is sold in shoe stores, but when I opened the box, they looked like a size 12 instead of a size 7, which make my feet look larger and are awkward to wear.

I have purchased New Balance shoes for walking in a 10 1/2 D for almost 20 years and they all fit perfectly. Unfortunately, the same size in this model is much too big- too long and just generally too large in the foot. They also make my large feet look even larger. It’s a completely different shoe than I’m used to from NB so I have to return them and try something else.

You sent the wrong color and I had to keep them because I’m traveling and had to have proper walking shoes for Europe. Never again.

Couldn’t even get them on. Held them next to a year older pair of 840’s and it appears a gross mistake was made in making the shoe. What ever happened to New Balance quality control? Enjoyed the ability to return them and get an instant rebate. Went out and purchased Brooks running shoes after trying them on in the store.
