I work as a pharmacist for Wal-Mart. I stand for as long as 11 hours during certain shifts. The New Balance 811 is one of 3 New Balance shoes in my "foot arsenal". Together with graduated compression knee-high socks, these shoes really make a dramatic improvement in my standing endurance. My legs are much less tired at the end of a shift. I wore a pair of traditional leather shoes to work and had to go home during my lunch break to change into my 811's! I have so much less stiffness and fatigue at the end of my shift. I have been a fan of New Balance for over 10 years now.

These were recommended as a good shoe for someone with Diabetes and foot discomfort. My husband loves them.

My husband tried these on at New Balance store. Their price almost half again as Amazon price. Great fit. Comfortable. I own the ladies version. Love them too.

Back in the day, New Balance shoes were the most comfortable, supportive walking shoe I've ever worn.
Something has happened to the company.
These shoes are NOT the same. No longer comfortable. No longer good-fitting. The toe boxes have shrunk and the sewing on the inside of the shoe intrudes on the box. This is the 2nd pair of New Balance shoes that have been unsatisfactory (defective?).
Needless to say, I will no longer be a New Balance customer.

replaced the 576 a 42.00 dollar shoe on sale with these at 69.00 , what a differance softer , more cushon, easier to walk in , i am a big man at 425 pounds and these shoes are great , will buy again , only wish the 900 series had a velcro pair i would love to try those , but you cant go wrong with new balance

It's a great shoe except the velcro straps are a wee too long and curl up at the ends a bit.

Other than that I am quite pleased.

Not a bad shoe. These shoes are quite comforatable for walking, and seem to last a long time. Therefore, I am buying another pair (my first pair finally wore out).

I have purchased this model for at least 10 years. For those who know, the S-2 Last is important for my feet. These are mostly made in the U.S.
Now, early in 2011, I learned #811 is being dis-continued so I will be buying 4 pairs which should last me through 2013.
New Balance why do you stop one of your best sellers with no obvious replacement available?

Sizing is 1 to 1-1/2 sizes too small.

Otherwise a good shoe for the money.

For example, if you normally wear a 10
then get an 11 or even 11-1/2 if you
have a wide foot.

I like the shoe's except for one thing and that is the toung slips to one side if you walk very much at all. My other New Balance shoe's have a place on the toung to run the laces through. These do no and I think that is the problem
