Pathetic
By minimann from So. IL on 11/16/2008
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Width:
Feels too wide
Pros:
Large sizes available
Cons:
No Arch Support, Not Enough Cushioning, Plastic-like sole
Describe Yourself:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I've worn NB for years, but this shoe disappointed me. Not supportive at all, and the sole doesn't even feel like quality rubber...more like hard plastic. The velcro straps are way too long so that the hook barely meets the loop, therefore the closures constantly come loose and the straps just flop around. Horrible shoe. Should be better for [$]

Very comfortable shoes and easy to put on or take off. They are lightweight and have good stability making them excellent for walking.

I wear the shoe all day, including walks at night. The synthetic upper does not stain like leather. You will be impressed with these shoes. I have always enjoyed the New Balance brand, and this upscale shoe is the berries.

I bought these New Balance shoes for two reasons: comfort in walking and ease of putting on and off. Both are important to me and these shoes fit the bill. Another thing I like is that they give me a sense of confidence; my feet and lower ankles are supported and feel that way. I appreciate Onlineshoes.com's quick service; they had what I needed at a good price. I will buy from them again.

I use walking shoe daily and it holds up pretty well. I normally order the bone color. This time the black.

I have bad knees so I need support and this walking shoe gives it to me. It holds up pretty well.

The rubber between the upper and the sole stains with dirt and grass and has to be scrubbed.

The shoes were for my Father, who is in a Rehab Center in Connecticut and is 93 but very with it. He goes to exercise each day and although he walks with a walker and with help, he needs a sturdy and reliable shoe. Your website really made getting him shoes that fit an easy thing to do. It was so great that I'm going to order from the website too. Thanks.

Can't wait to put them on -- and they are so easy to put on. Walk better - they remind me to stand up straighter since I tend to slouch. With other shoes I am always retying laces - the velcro enables me to get a snug fit (narrow feet) that stays that way and easy to adjust if it doesn't. Now - if we could only get those Velcro straps to lie flat the way they look in the picture. They call attention to themselves and make me feel like a four year old.

If your feet ever have a tendency to swell (from any variety of causes) you will love the less restritive velcro on this shoe. NB has always been noted for making good walking and running shoes. This one is no exception. I take "roll bar stability" as marketing hype, but these are the expected comfortable shoe for walking 10K.

This is my second pair of these shoes. I chose them originally because they come with a removable support insert that can be taken out to accomodate my custom orthopedic inserts.

The shoes are very comfortable, the soles have good grip and wear well and the outer covering is easy to take care of.

The only downside is that the two velcro closures wear out eventually, which is why I replaced my first pair.
