I bought these in a "D" width and they fit perfectly. I wish they made others with this same rounded toe fit. I guess I must have feet like a duck because I really love the less pointy toe of this New Balance shoe. It's probably from going bare foot and/or wearing sandals so much of my life. Or, I just grew webbed feet since living in here in Oregon!

Whatever, these are super comfy shoes for walking, driving, standing, anything. They have lots of support, but aren't bossy like some overly supportive running shoes. I wish they came in more colors, although the teal and gray/gold are a nice neutral look.

These shoes work great for the intense walking that I do. They are not good for someone who needs to stand stationary all day though. Almost too much support for stationary standing.

It's very comfortable and I wear it everyday. Recommended by my podiatrist for my neuroma. I especially like the gooved shoestring that prevents the loop to become undone.

This shoe is everything advertised. I have 2 pair and they are great for walking and exercising.

I've worn New Balance shoes for years, but have been wearing only walking shoes recently. Started a floor aerobics class and decided I needed some training shoes. These are sooooo comfortable. Thinking about ordering another pair so I can switch off because I'm going to be wearing these all the time & not just for aerobics. I do add orthotics for high arches to all shoes that I wear.

As someone else mentioned, I like the 'bumpy' shoe laces that don't slip and loosen like regular laces do.

These shoes are made with New Balance's SL-2 last which has narrow heel, wider forefoot, deeper toebox, and higher instep height and are perfect for my feet. This is a big advantage because I can order any New Balance shoe with SL-2 last and I know they will fit.

Love my new shoes. I had spent 136.00 on a similar pair and loved them. But I went looking on Amazon and found these. They are so very similar to what I have. They work!

Great product and excellent service. Quick delivery. Exactly what I needed.New Balance Women's WR817 Running Shoe

New Balance generally makes a good shoe but this one didn't work for me. The thick sole, although nicely cushioned, it is extremely stiff and without that flexibility for running the foot really takes a beating inside of it - bruises on toes, blisters on soles. I like to incorporate hills and steps in my workout so these shoes were murder. I went back to wearing my old 411s.

These shoes provide lots of support for my flat feet, yet are comfortable for long runs. And they seem to hold up well to lots of use. I hope New Balance continues to make these for a long time!

Service was easy and I recieved the shoes in great time and condition. The shoes are very comfortable and there was no "break in time".
