Customer Reviews New Balance 840v3

Ahhhhh. Finally the same great feeling you had when you first tried the 840v2. This is a GREAT updated version. I'm a big guy with a large wide foot & custom orthotic inserts so I need a durable, comfortable neutral shoe with lots of toe box room to take me from walking on pavement to heavy duty workouts at the gym to miles long hikes and this is the perfect shoe! True to fit. NB added much appreciated little features like stretch laces for that Comfortable first day out-of-the-box fit. I highly recommend this shoe. (Especially at this affordable price range.)

I am a female who wears either a woman's 10 wide or a man's 8.5. I tried this shoe on in a NB store and in the woman's 10W I could feel the edge of the sole digging into the lateral bottom of my foot from arch area to 5th metatarsal head. The salesman had to put me into a men's 8.5 4E in order for me NOT to feel that lateral edge of the sole digging into the bottom of my foot. So while the toe box seems plenty roomy I warn you that midfoot this shoe is just too straight and narrow until you get past the arch. Also with the insole that comes with the shoe, in the 8.5 4E at least, the insole does not spread all the way to the edges of the toe box. So it seems New Balance stuck a normal width liner inside a 4E shoe. The only way I can now wear this shoe comfortably is with an after market insole for the sole purpose of not feeling the edge of the sole underneath my lateral side.

Great shoe! The only New Balance model I have found with room in the toe box. I wish New Balance and Zappos would pay more attention to this aspect of design.

Without a breaking-in period, I walked all over France for three weeks in these shoes. I never experienced a moment's discomfort; in fact, they were probably more comfortable than previous NB shoes for walking. Even walking on cobblestones didn't affect the comfort. Now that I'm back home, I'm enjoying them for daily wear. They look great with jeans!

Not all size 10/4E shoes are created equal, not even when they're all made by New Balance. I've been struggling to find a pair that fits the same as my trusty old NB 993's. After 3 consecutive misses and returns, i've found a winner in the 840v3's. They're a little wider all the way up, and that suits me just fine.

Great shoes that fit well. I have had trouble with other brands that were either too tight in the toe area or too loose in the heal area causing trips to the foot doctor. These fit well all over .

I use this pair for walking but not running. My favorite thing about these shoes is that there seems to be extra support at the heel and toes, so that when I land on my heels and spring off from my toes the motion seems more natural.

nice shoe. happily not too silver, but more grey color. size and width as with other NB shoes. bends at the ball as it should--not at the arch. the tongues are about a 1/2" shorter than would be nice.

I wear a 10.5 4E mens. I have had about 10 different new balance shoes in the same size. These have the biggest toe box of them all. It feels so good if you have bunions. I love these shoes.

Needed a new pair of walking/exercise shoes and these were perfect right out of the box! I have a wide foot and have always struggled to find shoes that fit comfortably.

Love this shoe

Huge difference between 11 4E and 11 and a half 4E. I think the 11 4E are sized small.
