1.0 out of 5 stars
Not the lightweight WT910, but the lined WT 910 GT, May 3, 2011
The one star is an alert to confusing advertising on Amazon.
A warning for those considering this purchase: There are two descriptions in the advertisement - one evidently is for the WT910, which is a lightweight mesh, for warm-weather use. The other is evidently for the WT910 GT, which is lined with Gore-Tex for cold-weather use.
The product, though, in the Amazon advertisement, is called the WT910, which is what I thought I was ordering - the warm-weather shoe.
I may end up keeping the GT, which is what I received, as it appears to be warm and fits well (it's basically the WT910 with Gore-Tex sewn inside as a lining).
But I am hoping a second try with ordering the WT910 will result in my having the lighter-weight shoe I ordered.
On the positive side, should I decide not to keep the GT version, Amazon was willing to pay for return shipping, due to the unclear product description.
UPDATED: For some reason, the gray-blue arrived as the lightweight version, the WT910, at least in the 6.5 wide, so I am very pleased. The gray-green, the GT.
*****I'd give both styles of the shoe five stars.*****
And, it turned out to be a fortunate mistake that I initially received the WT910GT, as the Gore-Tex-lined version is also very comfortable on the still-cooler mornings and, I hope, will be a nice break from heavier boots for winter walking.

Best New Balance shoe for hiking Ashland, OR, July 15, 2011
I've worn these trail shoes all four seasons here in Ashland, Oregon, near the northern California border where it's quite hilly and ~1800 ft elevation. They're great for hiking in hills on gravel trails, through mud, in the rain, in the snow, you name it, these shoes are comfortable, truly water-proof and provide secure traction on all surfaces. These shoes also have excellent cushioning and foot support (I have flat feet and wear orthotics) with a toe-box wide enough to accommodate two pairs of socks for long hikes or cold weather.
I've gone through multiple pairs over the past couple of years and consistently find them my favorites;I highly recommend these NB women's trail shoes.

New Balance Gore-Tex, February 10, 2011
New Balance is my preferred brand of running shoe. I really like this one. With all of the snow this year, these shoes really keep my feet dry. I normally order a 1/2 size larger for running shoes, however, this shoe is a little long, so I didn't really need to. Overall, a good shoe with good support.
