Customer Reviews New Balance Classics 997R

I bought these recently thinking that, bring a well-known brand, they'd be good for my daily walks of 3-7 miles. One thing that failed to meet my expectations was the lack of cushioning for comfort on long fast walks. These are fine for walking the dog or touring the grocery store---every day things---but not for serious exercise. They're a waste for exercise walking . I'll use them, but not for what I bought them for. :(

This was an advertised "sale" item. I was disappointed that the outside of the edge of the "tongue" was not fully stitched which makes the shoe look cheaply made. Will probably buy a similar shoe to replace it.

I am able to wear 12-D shoes from other sources, but these seem overly tight around the toes and across the arch. I don't know why I have particular difficulty inserting my left foot in the shoe. I've loosened the laces down 4 holes. I've been using them for under an hour of jogging per day with the sense that I'll be able to tolerate and get used to them over time. So I rated only 2 stars, and perhaps over time, or with a shoe-horn, my satisfaction with increase.

did not feel comfortable

The shoe delivered on 8/10 Sun, we were not home that day. We never saw the shoes.

Extremely uncomfortable for my ankles. the part of the show that fits around the ankles was very sharp
