Customer Reviews New Balance MW813

For someone who wears a size 11.5 with width 6E, this shoe is a godsend. There is plenty of room for my feet to move around. No blisters here!

Great support and cushion. On my feet all day loading trucks. These shoes made it possible to work all day and come home without tired, sore feet. No breaking in necessary; felt great from day one. Typical of New Balance brand.

Bought this same size as the 983's I have (4 years old) 11.5 but a 4E instead of 6E. My toes, especially Big, kept hitting the front of the shoe while walking. Looked fine. Ordered another pair of the 983s - they fit perfect.

Bought these shoes a week ago and have been able to walk 5-6 miles in them so far. They were comfortable right out of the box, which should be expected from walking/running shoes. The arch support is somewhat more substantial than the NB Leadvilles that they're replacing. The tongue is a little wonky where the top of the tongue is covered with the leather upper material. It's not uncomfortable, just a little odd seeming. Overall, seems like a good quality shoe that I expect will provide several months of comfortable walking service.

Fits well and is comfortable. So nice to be able to order 6E shoes by different manufacturers to understand the differences in fit. The New Balance works great for very wide feet.

Unfortunately, I was attempting to replace an old pair of Brooks, saw these NB for less than $80, and thought I would save some money. After all, they were NB, a great shoe with a great reputation. They are good shoes and worth the money, but no even close to the support and comfort of the Brooks shoe. Then again, the Brooks shoe is $120.00. So, if you are content with the comfort and support of the NB shoe, do not try the Brooks, and save the difference in price. Unfortunately, I prefer the Books, by far. Then again, I not only require a wide shoe, but also have flat feet. For me, these do not do the job.

I was hoping for a better looking style and comfort. I will wear them, but order another pair of my ole stand-by the 623. The 813 does not provide the support for my feet, knees, and hips the the 623 provides.

Toe box not tall enough which makes the whole shoe not fit and my toes hurt.

Once I got my foot in the shoe, it was very tight(6E) and extremely uncomfortable. The length(15) was fine, but it really hurt my foot across the top where the tongue ends. I am returning.

The shoes feel fine, although they seem to run narrow. I was wearing a 4E in the 928 line and had to go to a 6E in these. Even in the larger size, the tongue does not cover the entire gap where I lace them up, so I end up with sock showing through. This was not a problem with the 928s. So I look like a dork, but at least the shoes are comfortable.

These shoes are substantially narrower than sized. I've been wearing a 14 4E in another New Balance shoe with no problem. The 14 4E in this shoe was definitely tight across the toe box, but the worst part was that the tongue would not even cover the top of my foot, leaving sock poking through on one or both sides. I returned them and will try the 6E.

The comfort is something between a casual shoe and a walking shoe. I would be pretty foot sore if I were to walk any great distance, in these because of the lack of padding/contour in ball area near the toe. Though not my primary complaint, I found the arch support to be somewhat excessive.

The quality of the New Balance Shoes has been decreasing from year to year. Prior versions of the MW813 (MW810,811,812) were more comfortable. Perhaps New Balance has been making to the shoe design and materials to reduce costs.

The show is fairly comfortable. Felt a little wider than the size suggested. I'm on my feet all day and my calves would be sore from standing in these shoes. As for appearance, they are not styled for younger individuals (under 75).

too bulky

Zappos did what they said they would do by getting my shoes to me in a timely manner. As far as NB is concern still upset at them for moving the production of the 812 overseas to Thailand. The 813 is not the same quality as the 812 was. I have worn this style for about 15 yrs with no problems. Well we will see how they holdup beinging worn everday.

My husband wanted some tennis shoes that were all leather since sparks from the fire pit burn holes in the fabric shoes. He also wanted dark so they wouldn't look dirty from doing chores. The shoes meet all those requirements, but they sure look like old man shoes.

Even though I purchased the narrow width, the shoe looks wide. Also, the top front section had a fold after tying the shoe (too much material?).

I have a hard time finding sneakers to fit. I wear a men's 8½ 6E. I am a woman who has had wide feet for years because I wore sneakers to much. These sneakers are not bad looking, but definitely are more narrow than marked. They have stretched a little but then I realized that there was something in the material in the left shoe that really bothers my foot. It was too late to send them back and it constantly rubs on top of my foot. It is in the material and there is no way to get it out. Defect in the sneaker that did not bother me right away. But it really hurt after a few days. I am not sure if I would recommend these or not. Zappos is a good company that gave me free overnight shipping. I would definitely purchase from them again.

This style of New Balance's 6E width did not fit. My foot is more thick than wide so the top part of the shoe expanded wider than the tongue. Returned shoe.

Substantial sole with out the bulk. Roomy toe box. A little loose in the heel. Pretty comfortable overall. Ending up going with Dunham Lexington over these.
