I had originally ordered an 847CB4 7 EE directly from manufacturer and they sent the wrong size which I returned and ordered once again in 7 EE, but that was too short. That's when I decided to go back to my fav shoe store, Zappos (haven't ordered much since retiring in 2017)! Since these New Balance seem to be running short. I ordered a 7 1/2 EE, arrived amazingly fast, and they fit, even though I mistakenly ordered a slightly different style.
I'd also recommend:
J41 Adventure On and Softspots sandals, Merrells (don't wear dress shoes much anymore)

I wore these shoes all day the first day and they were perfectly comfortable.no need to break them in slowly. This is my third pair of Fresh Foam and they've all been great. The color of these isn't as red as I'd expected.

Since I am not use to wearing shoes because I can not find the right pair it felt great to finally find a pair that was true to size and fits very well. I have long days at work and so far these have help me with back and foot pain with my day to day work life. Love the arch support and how the wide helps with not putting pressure on the top of my feet.

These shoes allow me to be pain free all day. They support my feet combating the pronation issue. This issue has led to problems with arthritic knees, and the stability in these shoes prevent all pain. I have the shoes in 3 colors and this will be my fourth.

These shoes are wonderfully supportive for my pronation issues which can cause real problems with my very arthritic knee. I can wear these all day without stress or pain. I have them in 3 colors and am presently ordering one more color choice.

I walk at least 3 miles a day and these shoes are very comfortable! I ordered black for my first pair and just got my second pair in pink. They are very cute!

I've never gone wrong buying the 860. Super comfortable and fits my foot better than any brand.

Hands down the BEST runner out there- It sounds crazy but I go through 4-5 pairs a year once they have 300 miles on them they are ready for replacing - I track all my mileage - if you run you get it! I keep 3 pairs in rotation for various outdoor weather and Manitoba sees it all. The 860 offers fantastic support and cushion as you run, perfect for cross training. I love that NB offers half sizes past size 10 -

I have been wearing these shoes for about two years now and I love themIwas so glad that my foot doctor told me about these. The only problem I have is being able to get them in double wide. Hope you start making more in double wide.

I have a fallen arch on my left foot and extremely flat footed on my right foot. The firm yet soft foam support in these shoes is by far the best I have found. Wish they came in more colors. I typically wear a size 8.5 or 9 in running shoes but the size 10 in women fit me best in this shoe. Highly recommend.

I have a wider foot and custom orthotics; the NB X 860v12 fits perfectly. Thinking of buying another pair to have on hand. Yesterday I wore them most of the day and my feet didn't hurt at the end of the day. I've worn NB for years but supply chain interruptions has meant low inventory of this width at shoe stores.

Been struggling for over a year with plantar fascitis, and with these shoes I can finally walk normally again! Comfortable, durable, and lots of compliments since I got them, too. Bought a second pair because they're so good!

These shoes are my heaven. I am an avid speed walker always looking for a comfortable shoe that doesn't rub the wrong way. My foot is extra wide and I have bunions. These shoes are so comfortable and allow me to walk faster and longer

Many shoes that are "wide" widths still have a foot bed that is too narrow for me. This shoe has a wider footbed than most so is comfortable even when feet swell in warm weather. My only complaint is that as is the case with most good shoes they never seem to go on sale!

I have been purchasing 860s for many years when I started running in 2018. I only use these shoes for running. The original shoe I was fitted for was amazing. There was a year or two where NB changed the heel design, but it seems they went back to the comfy heel design before (yay!). These shoes provide so much support. I size up a half size and find it more comfortable for my runs. These shoes come in great colors, but to be honest, I'd still buy them in the ugliest color because they are just that comfortable.

When I married my Air Force career husband 46 years ago, he introduced me to New Balance. It was what he wore for the runs and was readily available in the BX. The more boxy toe is sooo comfortable for walking, and since I wear a 10.5 ladies shoe, it tends to not look so large. The toe area and wonderful cushion insole and supportive foam sold me. I have never spent this much on a pair of shoes for myself, but would buy again based solely on the comfort. I wear them on my 77-year old feet with everything and love the soft color!

I need support for morning foot pain and have a history of achilles tendonitis. These make my feet feel great without that pain. Very supportive and come in extra wide!

I use these runners for my daily power walks. They provide me with great support and stability. I find the generous toe box is a very good fit for my feet.
