Customer Reviews New Balance 840v5

This is my second pair of 840's. I had to go up a half size from last pair to fit my orthotics. Great sneaker!

I ordered 1/2 size up. Great support Ordering another pair

Finally! I've found a replacement for my old favorite New Balance shoes that are so old that I can't read what style they are. I've tried so many over the years but none of them fit right. Most were too narrow and had no room in the toe box. I have wide feet and need a solid base for support, but hate heavy clunky shoes. I love the colors. I have worn them every day since I got them! I have never spent $140 on a pair of shoes, but the comfort is worth it!

Love these. Great arch support and stability.

super comfy. got these because I was having knee pain from walking on hardwood floors at home. these really helped. good cushioning

There is plenty of room for my toes compared to the other shoe I ordered.

This style of shoe runs about 1/2 large, so I ordered an 8 instead of my usual power walking size of 8.5. Very nice!

This was my second purchase of NB 840. I have a grey pair that I use for walking every morning and they are very comfortable and supportive. I wanted another pair in a darker color to use on a vacation to Ireland in April. Great shoes and look good too.

The NB 840v5 fits very similar to other versions of NB 840s. They are quite comfortable, hold up well and most importantly are a true wide width so they are one of the few shoes that fit my wide feet!

I LOVE these so much I bought more because you know they will change them up in the next version. The toe box is large and wonderful. The arch is perfect, I don't even need my orthotics. They're not especially attractive, wide feet people don't have much fun with shoes.

These shoes fit great, like other reviews the toe box felt a little wide, but are fine for me. I do wish New Balance would get away from the mesh, I don't want my toes to come thru with wear. They are great for support without being too stiff.

I can’t find athletic shoes that fit better or wear better. The kind I need don’t seem to ever get marked down, which is unfortunate, but good shoes really matter, so, I’ll stick with NB 840’s.

For a while I was finding NB to suddenly run short. Not any more! Great feet. Feel so good on my feet!

New Balance fit my feet. Women's Size 11 Wide. I have a bunion and high arches so I need a wide shoe box and I use an orthotic insert in my shoes. These fit great! I'm purchasing another pair now!

Out of the box they are comfortable. Trying them in the house and all seems good to go. Toe box is pretty roomy, more than I'm used to but will go with it. Color over all is kind of a light silver grey. Soft foot bed but not to foamy. Has good support.

I was looking for a wide walking and gym shoe with a wide toe box to accommodate my bunion and arthritis and this shoe is quite comfortable.

I liked the prior iteration of these so much that I came back for this one, having worn the old ones to death. Last summer during a month of walking a lot on concrete and cobbles in Paris and I alternated between the NB 840v4 and my Hokas. By the end of the trip I wore the NB all the time—much better on my knees and hips for walking. I went to a New Balance store to try on the 840v5 along with several other models, but these are the best combination of firmness and padding for me. I also need a wide shoe, and this one in wide has the toe box room but a heel that does not slip. I left the store wearing a pair, then came to Zappos to order the extra wide which they did not have in the store. I can wear both, but am happy with the extra toe wiggle room in the extra wide. The style—well, to me they look like athletic shoes, style really isn’t the point, but as these things go, they look fine.

Good shoe as one would expect from New Balance. Reasonably priced

These are great shoes. My second pair of this version. Thinking about ordering the blue pair next.

An excellent sneaker for WW, it's very comfortable in the width. Has enough toe height too. My usual size was right on (7). I have a narrow heel and this keeps it in place pretty well.

Fit and size were great. They seem lighter in weight than my previous pair of 840s. The ventilated top material seems flimsier than my previous pair of 840s.
