5.0 out of 5 stars
Sturdy,lightweight shoe, June 6, 2009
This review is from: New Balance Women's WW901 Walking Shoe (Apparel)
This shoe is so well fitting. It has a wide toe box and fits well in the heel. Accomodates fairly thick socks and still very comfortable. Not at all tight. Feels true to the wide width. I bought these shoes to wear for after knee surgery. The light weight and streamline shape are more comfortable especially after surgery when one needs to be mindful of balance and walking carefully. Regular exercise shoes though comfortable seemed too clumsy. This shoe is great.lives up to the New balance name.

great for troubled feet, December 31, 2009
This review is from: New Balance Women's WW901 Walking Shoe (Apparel)
I have foot problems of various kinds, always wear full length orthotics, can only wear relatively soft lace up shoes.... there are really rather few shoes I can wear. The NB 811 has been my staple, but that leaves me with little choice but that athletic look. I had debated trying these and finally nabbed a pair when I realized they are no longer being made. Glad I did. They are the same last as the 811 (SL-2) and have a nice roomy toebox which I need. As wide as the 811 and higher. The sole is very stable and firm (does not flex much though as it wears out I suspect it will more). It has a soft padded heel counter. I can't comment on the arch support as I always wear orthotics. The wide opening on top accomodeates my high arch nicely. Though the construction is good and firm, the leather is also nice and soft. Nice shoes, in fact I am going to get another pair or two. I suppose this is an adequately decent looking casual shoe for many; you can judge that by the pictures. It is a much better sonstructed shoe than most casual shoes in the price range. For me it is heavenly to be able to wear a shoe that is not so athletic looking and actually comes in another color besides the typical choices of stone, black and white. Another reviewer commented on the embroidery; I do not find it a big detriment, but then since I have to wear clunky shoes like this with everything, skirts, whatever, that seems like a rather minor thing to me, hardly what I would call embarrassing. In fact I don't find it all that noticeable. I guess I'm saying I can't afford to be that picky, if you want a really well made casual shoe you might not care much either.

New Balance Women's WW901 Walking Shoe, October 30, 2009
I have another pair of New Balance Women's Walking Shoes which I am very pleased with, so I assumed, correctly, that the WWW901 in black that I ordered would fit as well, but would look less like a sneaker which is a plus on certain occasions. I also need narrow shoes which are hard to find. New Balance offers a good selection of my size. These shoes provide comfort in walking and a wide toe area. New Balance was recommended by my Chiropracter, and I recommend them highly.
