I recently bought the previous model of these sneakers(w940v2) which I love.They are very comfortable and beautiful.I can walk all day in them. Ordered the W940v3 because I liked the blue color. If you have extremely wide feet and are flat footed,this is not for you.The fit is tight and the arch so pronounced it hurts. Sadly,even though I love the color,these are going back.

I always buy NB running shoes, mostly because I like their wide size options. I'm having to return my purchase simply because I bought Silver/Grey/White W940v3 and thought the accent color was orange Turned out it is pink. I simply don't want pink on my shoes & wanted to write a review in the event someone else is thinking it's orange on the shoe-- it's not :-(

I love these shoes so much I just ordered another pair. Excellent comfort, roomy enough for my toes that I can wiggle them. I have problem getting a shoe that I can wear for extended periods but I wear these all day and forget I have them on. I was about to give up on new balance shoes because they were not the same as years ago but this shoe is what I had come to expect from the company.

I am returning this shoe. I've worn the 990 v4 and found it comfortable except for a little slippage in the heel. This 990 v3 seems to have a narrower toe box. Also, the "white walls" were unattractive and made the shoe look larger and I think they will get dirty very quickly. Zappos return label requires a magnifying glass to read. Also, I don't have a printer so I needed to phone and request that a return label be mailed to me. It would be nice if, like other retailers, they included a return label with the order.

I purchased this pair of shoes after trying several different brands I wore them to work the next day and was able to stand and work in these shoes all day. They were so comfortable the following week I purchased another pair in another color. I am diabetic and wear orthodics Very pleased

They have excellent support for me. I have one foot that overpronates. Very comfortable. My only disappointment is that the color is not true to the picture. It is not light gray but dark gray and the pink is more like florescent pink/orange. Not my favorite but they fit well and I'm going to keep them. Thank you Zappos for letting me order and return because I have terrible feet and it's so hard for me to find the right pair of shoes.

I have very, very flat feet. The kind of flat feet and no support where I have all kinds of issues that also extend to my knees and lower back. In tennis shoes, I generally need both motion control and stability and New Balance and these shoes give me the support and comfort that I need. The only issue is that they are fairly unattractive and bulky but I've accepted that the types of with the type of sneakers that I need to comfortably and effectively train, that will probably always be the case. All in all, I? like them and will be purchasing them again very soon.

I have a hard time finding any sneaker which provides Over Pronation support/stability, Extra-Wide Toe box and Improved Arch support all in one shoe. Usually, most shoes seem to run on the narrower side for average people. For us who need all of the above, this shoe was a great choice. I am in bare feet a lot during the day, and the need for a wider toe box and arch support is a must have. This shoe fits very comfortably for me and am very happy with the X-Wide toe box. The overall width of the shoe feels more stable than most average shoes, so stability with over-pronation is improved. I would buy this again.

These shoes feel great, but beware, they look peach and gray on my monitor, but the "peach" color is bright pink!! Not my favorite.

My left shoe is fine but my right shoe slips off heel. I tried a shoelace change but that didn’t work.

Hard shoe. Not comfortable. There is no cushioning. They also make a horrible clunking sound as you walk in them. Like cheep kids plastic shoes.

I have several issues with my feet including Morton’s Neuroma, large bunions, high arches and arthritis. I need a supportive shoe with a wide toe box, good arch support, a heel on the narrow side and a fair amount of cushion. I am like the princess and the pea when trying to find comfortable shoes and literally have ordered around thirty pair from Zappos looking for the perfect one. Thank you Zappos for being so customer centric and allowing multiple returns. Due to bunions, the ball of my foot measures 4 5/16 inches wide. I usually wear a 7.5 in athletic shoes, including New Balance, but these seem to be a half size large in length. I ordered the extra wide and the width is perfect, my feet don’t feel as if they are laced into a Victorian corset. The arch support is good. The shoe is firm but does not feel hard. My heel slips in the 7.5 though so I am going to try the 7 extra wide. This shoe has an SI-2 shoe last which is built with a wider, deeper toe box, a higher instep and a slightly narrower heel. If you have narrow feet or are flat footed this shoe will not work for you. Do a google search for a New Balance Shoe Last Chart and find the last/shoes that are designed for you particular foot shape. It makes a world of difference. I’m not a fan of the bright neon pink on this shoe, the white walls or the shiny plastic across the front toe area. Even the black has the shiny patent leather look on the toe. It reminds me of little kids patent leather dress shoes. Ugg! However I do like the gray. It’s one thing for a shoe to look trendy but another for it to look like something my eight year old wears. New Balance, please make these wider styles in better colors and ditch the hot pink and patent leather look.

This is my second one of these as I used to wear a Brooks style that they wrecked. I need a little stability and alot of cushion and a shoe that I can wear with my orthotics and this one definitely works. I also like that it looks good with my black workout clothes and yoga/sweat pants!

Let me start by saying about a year ago I was diagnosed with Mortons Neuroma and the Dr sent me to the NewBalance store. These have been the ONLY sneaker that make my feet happy. I have tried other "cute" sneakers only to find myself buying these again. I now own 2 colors blue (my favorite), gray/pink and plan to purchase the black SOON. This sneaker gets rave reviews from me without it I don't know how I would make it through the day.

Just got these today and they are wonderful!! No break in period. Extremely comfortable from the beginning. Nice and roomy toe box with excellent support for the over pronator. Highly recommend these shoes. Well worth the price.

These shoes fit true to size(I usually get a 1/2 larger due to wide feet). I am exchanging for regular size to see how they fit.

I have crazy feet. I bought a size 13. They are wide and I have plenty of room in the toe area. My only complaint is that I cannot jam my feet into them because the back of the shoe bends inward. Which means that I need to untie the shoe and out it on correctly. Other than that, I'm happy.

Let me start by saying this: this is a beautiful shoe. I loved how it looked compared to the Brooks shoes. I am a loyal Brooks wearer as a severe overpronator with extremely wide flat feet, but in general I hate the way the Brooks shoes look. This shoe seemed like a beautiful mix of form and function. Alas, the arch was too high in this shoe and it was just shy of a true EE width. My normal size also felt just a bit too big. Goodbye, beautiful shoe. If you came in a 4E and I got a smaller size you may have been perfect. For reference I wear a 9.5 EE in Brooks running shoes and a 9 or 10 in most other shoes depending on width and brand.

I was looking for a sneaker with a stiff sole. I've had 2 foot operations, bunions and arthritis in my big toes. These aren't rigid at all but are more stiff than others I've tried. Style? not much but with problem feet I'm not looking for style. These are comfortable, fit my orthodics and are stiffer than most. I tried the first pair on a 5 mile walk and my toes didn't hurt. First time that's happened in months. So I promptly ordered a 2nd pair.

I have a narrow long foot and really wanted to like this cute shoe. However, the shoe is heavy, the sole is stiff, and the cushioning is lacking. I will be returning.

Most comfortable walking shoes ever, with good support, and enough room for my toes. I'm so happy to find these in black, making them just a little bit less noticeable with my black pants for dressier occasions. I'd be even happier if they didn't have turquoise and white on them, but at least they're much better than the typical white-based running shoes.

These are my "go to" shoes for everyday wear. They are so comfy, I can wear them all day and have even worn them as slippers when we traval. This is my 2nd pair and I plan to keep an extra pair in my closet so I'll always have a pair on hand for the inevitable day when they no longer make this model. I have wide feet and ankle issues due to several surgeries and these are so supportive of my ankles and also help with my over-pronation. I'm a huge fan and highly recommend.
