Finely a shoe that fits, just had a foot operation and needed a wider shoe.

I ordered them because they came in size 13 which is rare and I liked the looks of them. Very comfortable, perfect as work shoes for me.

This is the 3rd time I've purchased this same model sneaker. It has a great fit with lots of steady support. My ankle and foot feel very secured and balanced in this shoe. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes a very stabilizing sneaker.

These shoes are very well made and very comfortable. They look very nice. I like the back and green color combo.

The 840 is my perfect shoe and the v5 is no exception. I need neutral cushioning and also have high arches.

Comfortable with good arch support - and roomy enough I can add my own supports when needed. Toe box is generous too

Quality of shoe great but, it was too wide so had to return them. I do have them in black and they came in a narrow width.

The 840 has been my go to running shoe for 2 years. The wide toe box has been a game changer for me! This is the only running shoe that is comfortable. Between running and walking I put 75km on these every week. NB please produce these in other colours and in Gortex!

I always replace the insole with my own prescribed arch support insole. This v5 is good but not as good as the first 840. Is light weight but the plastic does not hold shape, not the previous shoes. But I will most likely reorder but only if I cannot find another shoe. Also the newer shoes is loosing style, not so attractive anymore.

I just think the toebox feels a little narrow, I would agree with that. My big toe is leaning in towards the others. I think it might be very comfortable otherwise. My heel is narrow so I don't know if ordering a wide width would help.

I've previously ordered size 9 wide in New Balance. For this shoe I returned twice and ended up with a size 8 wide. Having to return was annoying but the shoe is generously wide so good news for those folks looking for wide shoes. I like the style and they're comfortable so far.

Usually wear a 10D but needed 10.5D. Good support. Toe box has nice height.
Best shoes NB ever made were the 860's! Why did they stop making them?

Disappointed. I have always worn a NB extra wide sneaker. The last pair I purchased 4 years ago was the best, and most comfortable sneaker I've ever owned. They were a hard act to follow! This pair is okay,,, but,,, not as comfortable as my las pair.

Don't know,,, it's hard to find a shoe in extra wide

The 8.5W was too long and the 8W was a tad too short. First time I ever had an issue w/New Balance fitting properly.

i had to have a custom orthotic made so not able to rate the arch support. The shoe allows an orthotic.
The shoe itself is very comfortable with the cushioning in the sole however.

Was buying other brands where they changed their styling so much they were not a good shoe for me.

I have to return these shoes because although I normally wear a New Balance size 5B, these feel about a half size too long.

Normally I wear 7.5 W in regular non-athletic shoes, 8.5 W in New Balance. The 8.5W was a good width, but my toe rubbed at the end of the shoe. I would have tried it anyway, but the footbed had a ridge at the outside of my foot that felt odd and pushed into what I believe is called the cuboid. I would like to replace my old worn out 890 v.6 New Balance shoes, but the 840 v.5 isn't going to work.

After wearing these a week, they’re not as comfortable as my 1080’s. I think the soles feel stiffer. My feet are tired after wearing them. Which I did not have with the 180’s
