I am a 74 year old man and help grandsons with a yard business. I have a little bit of a hard to find size 13 narrow. I do not get the best choices with the size that I wear.
I have been very pleased with this New Balance shoe for the work that I do. I am on my feet with the trimming that I do for the kids and need support and comfort.
The only thing that is bad is that the shoes get green from the grass and almost impossible to make them look good.
My wife also wears these New Balance and she has neuropathy in her feet and they are a comfort to her.

I have been wearing New Balance athletic/walking shoes for over ten years. My feet are so flat, I make suction cup noises on a tile floor. I tried orthotics and hated them. I tried a pair of NB 810's in narrow width (I had been wearing medium in everything because that is all you can ever get from retail stores). I actually started to feel comfortable while walking around the block whereas in the past I would get pains on the inside of my left lower leg after a half mile. I started with the 810 and then the 811 when the 810 was discontinued. I was not as happy with the 811 because the enlarged toe cap created too much space and I felt I lost some of the support. I took a chance on the 926 knowing that it was considerably more expensive than the 811. That was last year. My feet have never felt better. I walk two miles a day, work out at the gym and spend a lot of time on concrete in my workshop in addition to a lot of do-it-yourself work around the house. The original pair still has plenty of rubber and the support is still good. Just in case the world falls apart in the next couple of years, I ordered two pairs this month (one white, one black). I'll stick them in the back of the closet. This is a great shoe [...]

I use these for work and general walking, they are great shoes. I have had plantar fascitis in the past, and now have arch pain from wearing shoes that were wrong for my feet and too narrow. I also supinate. I'm currently on my second pair in 3 years. They are very comfortable, but they can be hot. The ventilation needs to be better, in my opinion. Other than that, these are great shoes and I will buy more pairs in the future. New Balance has widths, which are next to impossible to find in other brands. I've tried other brands, but New Balance gets it right every time, never had a problem with their shoes so I'm sticking with them.

These sneaker looking shoes are part of my regular footwear rotation. They are good solid protective shoe with a roomy toe space. If you wear Orthotics, you can use these shoes. There is much room up front but it’s snug where you need it to be.

These are walking shoes. New Balance did not make the MW926WT I for running. Its sole is dense materials and should last for years. It fit’s well. They are very comfortable shoes worth the price.

I am a city letter carrier and walk 6 to 8 miles a day. I don't believe that I could do it without this New Balance 926. It's the only one that I have used for the past 3 years. The only problem is that it has very poor traction. If you step on a wet surface, you are going to go down. But everything else is excellent. The very best in comfort and support, stability, especially walking on uneven surfaces. Also, Online Shoes is the best to deal with.

As a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service I spend my entire work day on my feet. I have also suffered from painful heel spurs, intermittently, for the last 10 years. After enduring a stretch of six weeks of extreme pain with each step I was ready to put in my retirement papers. From the day I put on these shoes I have been pain free. They are by far the most comfortable walking shoes I have ever worn, work or otherwise. My retirement plans are now on hold - at least until New Balance discontinues this model.

I have been buying new balance for quite a few years now. My feet are 4E wide and there isn't many choices. Whenever I buy a new pair they feel good right away, no break-in period like many shoe selesmen used to tell me. The 926 is the best one yet. Lots of room and padded very well. I recently developed plantar fasciatis from not wearing shoes in the house. The 926 helps the pain to go away. In other words the 926 is a great shoe. Very happy with them.

 
Great Walking Shoe!!!

I have bad feet & need a suppotive shoe. For years I wore Time Outs until the cost got out of hand. These are the closest to those for fit and feel that I have found.

 
I will buy this shoe again.

Great shoe. A very confortable shoe to wear for any occasion. I walk a minimum of two miles a day, either outside or in the gym on the tradmill, depending on the weather. Excellent support and the shoe does not allow pronation. I would definitely,and I have, recommend this shoe for the serious walker and or jogger.
