New Balance has been the only shoe that has kept my feet completely comfortable throughout most of my adult life. I have a 6E width, and it has been a horrible problem, especially through my childhood....during which I was forced to accommodate myself to two sizes too long, in order to fit the width. New Balance really saved my walking life!

New Balance is the only athletic shoe I am aware of that comes in a AA width. I had previously bought NB in the more expensive shoe but only needed a basic gym shoe so I opted for the less expensive shoe. About the only difference in price is probably that the upper in this shoe is synthetic. I was pleasantly surprised to find it a more attractive shoe, with much better padding, better arch support, and a better fit. The slightly shorter size and slightly wider feel, closer to an A than a AA, provides a very comfortable fit. I will make this my default shoe as I am very pleased with it.

They made my feet feel so comfortable I could not believe it. I don't wear the same shoe 3 days in a row due to comfort but these shoes are like walking on puffy clouds of cotton. I just can't believe it. They look so nice they can be worn to work on dress down Fridays. I will most certainly be purchasing my next pair from Zappos.com and making sure it will be the New Balance Roll Bar style.

New Balance is the Best product so far and most importantly it should have the roll bar in the heel.

I have now worn the NB for about 60 - 80 miles and find them to be an ideal fit. I like the leather toe since shoes in the past have worn out for me at the toe. I feel at this point, when Im ready for my next pair. It will be this shoe.

Well I did not know if mailing to a PO Box it takes much longer. 19 days or so-used to be overnight which was a great customer service. Having said that - new balance has made significant improvements in quality and so the rather steep price is justified I guess-I would be curious what the $350 model offers ro justify what I think is way over the top in price - gotta love Zappos they try very hard to have excellent service which I appreciate living way out in the snow-covered tundra of Northern California.

I would rate this shoe highly in terms of comfort but it is a bit drab in terms of style. I like New Balance shoes and I am sure that over time I will get used to its different look.

These shoes are comfortable and fit as expected. I would have preferred brown but gray was the only style available in my size.

I am a Nordic Walker. I use two carefully balanced poles to improve balance and upper body musculature, when I walk. The poles give me a great workout, but my shoes Sta paramount to good performance! Over the years I've tried most major, or important, walking shoe. NB has the best toe box in the world. Plenty of room for your toes to breathe. And when we talk breathable nothing on the market is as well ventilated, both by construction and design, to be cool and dry. I love the walk I get in these NB shoes!!

This is a serviceable pair of shoes. Not real comfortable. But it will do for what I use.

shoe did not fit very well. It had a rise in the sole right at the big toe joint that was uncomfortable on both shoes. Other than that, it fit OK

I'm comparing this shoe with another I bought at the same time (MW813, for which I wrote a review). While the overall width of MW847v2 is OK, I wish had a bit more room in the front and in the toes. The sole is very firm and probably great for walking over rocks and roots, but a little too firm when walking on pavement. Could be more flexible. My heal rides up a bit with this shoe. It does give very firm support on the sides of the foot.
