I just started running, and these were the first shoes I bought. I overpronate pretty badly, and the support that these provided were great and really helped neutralize my stride. Downside - not comfortable and very heavy. I went to a local store that videotapes you running on a treadmill, and ultimately had them record me running in these AND the Asics 2150. Asics 2150 were MUCH more comfortable, lightweight - I would actually want to just walk around in them all day. Best part was, the Asics corrected the overpronation just as well as the New Balance, so I ended up switching over to Asics.

May not work for everyone, but don't believe that your shoes should FEEL corrective just because they are.

This is the 2nd pair of WR850 New Balance shoes that I have purchased. Running ~10 miles per week, the last pair lasted about 18 months. The wide width with Smartfeet insoles fits my weird foot shape (bunions and narrow heels).

I really like the look of these shoes but they run a bit small and find my toes hitting the end of the shoe. So if you buy them get a half size larger than normal.

Delivery was fabulous, will use Amazon again.

This is my 5th pair of New Balance sneakers. I always buy 7 1/2. These sneakers in 7 1/2 were more like a 7. I ended up having to give them away because I wore them. Otherwise, I loved the look of the sneaker and the feel (notwithstanding that my big toes hit the end).

I was happy I bought these shoes. I totally love them. For a female its is hard to find shoes to fit when my feet are so wide. I was always buy mens tennis shoes just to be comfortable. This were so roomy and fit.

I have worn this shoe for a couple of years. The shoe is really good overall, especially where balance is important. It's one weakness is it's arch support just under the ball of the big toe. I solved this with a spenco insert. I would give it 4 stars

I bought this sneaker because I always have loved the New Balance brand. An analysis of how I run suggested that I overpronate and should be in a stability shoe. These have been comfortable and I have not had a problem exercising in them at all. I run on a treadmill, participate in step classes, and do the elliptical machine at the gym. You may want to consider buying 1/2 size bigger than what you usually wear. I usually wear an 8 but always get an 8 1/2 in sneakers. This is the first running shoe I have bought in narrow and I am really excited that New Balance offers narrow sizes for a better fit. They are also a really cute shoe.

Took a little to get used to the stablization when I walked, but my knees do feel better when I walk long distances.

I wore this particular brand to run for many years. LOVED it, great for me. Cushions well. I moved on to Asics Gel Cumulus, because I started to walk more. This shoe is definitely a wonderful running shoe.

I love my sneakers. These are the only ones that won't cause me to have ankle pain. I am definitely planning to buy some more in the near future. They are very hard to find in my size. Thank you very much for selling this item.
