After many many pairs of the old 1540's I ordered the new version, "fresh Foam x 1540". The materials felt less sturdy, but I did not get to evaluate that because the were to narrow for me to wear. I ordered my usual 11.5 mens US in 4E and these were to painful to get on my feet with the laces fully slack. These are not as wide as the old 1540's of the same size.

I wanted to keep these shoes since they were so comfortable and well cushioned. However, the fabric construction doesn't have enough stability on the sides to hold my orthotics for my very high arches in place. After wearing them for a while, I was getting severe pain in my arches.

PRBe specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

I have a very difficult time finding shoes because my feet are so wide. This shoe is perfect. I've worn them for three separate treadmill walks and they offered a lot of support without any pinching or blisters. Helps me to want to work out!

The shoe was at least an inch too long and appeared to be just a bigger size than labeled.
I'd also recommend:
Usually NB fits well, comes in an 8.5 4E. Orthofeet is good and Hobbit size, too.

Runs crazy small. Extra extra wide felt like a regular width.

I love these shoes, they have all the cushion in the world and that means the world to me when I work in a warehouse for sometimes 12 hours a day. I bought these after having foot surgery and it was a great purchase. Highly recommend.

I over pronate, a lot. That problem has finally caught up to me and has been causing issues in my feet. After a lot of research trying to find what shoes would be the best to support me so that I can keep running I landed on the 1540s. I working my way back in to running after almost a year and a half off, so I dont have a lot of miles on them yet. However, after about 15 miles these shoes continue to feel great when I run. Im feeling hopeful about running again for the first time in a year and half.

They are comically large. No need for a sneaker to have a 3 lift. The toe section is curled up, its like wearing a rocking chair on your foot.

They provide good stability for running and other activities. Wider than the 880s, so I feel I am going to tip over less. Great running shoe!

I have used all the versions of the 1540 over the years and version 4 is the best, comfort, fit, secureness. Everyone likes the looks.

NB 4E is always a perfect fit for me. Fresh Foam cushioning compares well with Hoka.

This shoe is completely changed and no longer wide in the toe like the 1540 has always been. I can no longer wear it because the toe is way too narrow.
