Customer Reviews New Balance 840v5

Thank you for making a shoe for all of us who have feet who swell during the day. The only thing that fits across the toe box. < 3

The 840 is the best shoe for my foot. I have high arches and need special orthotics which fit in these. Also have a wide foot and these are available in 2e. Also the sl2 shoe las of this shoe fits me best. And the neutral cushioning is just what my foot needs. Have worn all versions of the 840 and this one is great. Also love the color.

....right out of the box. I bought two pairs since I get used to a shoe then find it changed when I try to purchase again. I am very happy with my double purchase. New Balance is the only brand of shoes I consider. My feet love them!

I purchased the same style, lighter colour for walking on the treadmill; wanted a darker colour for outside that the store didn't have. Found them online.

I love the comfort of the extra wide width in the toe box and midfoot area of the shoe! Perfect for my toes with bone spurs .

Since NB replaced the 840 x4 with the 840 x5 I've been very leery, especially after some of the reviews. But what choice did I have since the 840 x4 is the only shoe I've worn for years? With trepidation I ordered them. Thank goodness they work just fine for me. No issues! Whew

I had plantar fasciitis for years and never thought I would ever fast-pace walk much less jog/run. However, after losing 70 lb (and 30 more lb to lose), along with massage and personal training, I no longer have plantar fascia issues. Also at the heavier weight, I could only find size 7 Extra wide comfortable shoes with New Balance years ago, but now that I lost some weight, I have more options of various brands now that I wear 7 wide, not Extra wide. Nevertheless, I will stick to the NB brand. So, I'm brave enough now to start treadmill workouts, increasing my walking speed, and now that I have the NMB 840v5 I have been able to power walk and light job for a few min at a time with no pain. I even no longer require the use of plantar fascia shoe inserts. As I increase my speed and distance, I may have to get extra cushioning for the ball of my foot, but so far so good with no complaints.

I do Nordic Walking usually every other day, and find these shoes supportive and comfortable

Very comfortable, true to size. Choice of colors, Nice looking shoe.

I have balace issues. I like that the shoes are not too high or too soft. I can also fit an orthotic in the wide version.

On my feet all day on concrete floor and my feet feel great

These shoes are so comfortable. I love them Great for walking or running.

Great shoes. Wore them to Disney and shoes were comfortable the entire time at park. I highly recommend

i love the comfort and the width but i returned them because i did not like the top material and the smooth line. but other than that, NB is my favorite sneaker.
