I attended a seminar on Osteoporesis and Arthritis last fall, and a woman
in the audience highly recommended this shoe. I waited until after
having foot surgery in the spring to order it. I've been wearing it for
3 weeks and it's wonderful. The sizing is true, fit is perfect, and the
comfort and stability make it worth every penny. I don't train, only use it for walking, but I imagine it would work just as well in any program. This vendor also sells it at the lowest price I've seen online. Super buy!

I have had ongoing plantar fascitis and have bought numerous shoes only to discard them when they did not offer the relief I needed. This shoe was recommended to me at a store in Louisville, KY two years ago along with Prostep orthotics. When used in combination, I have relief as soon as I put on the shoe. I can't use just any New Balance but this one has enough support to allow me a normal life without pain. Each year the number goes up by one so last year, this shoe was 854, this year 855, next year 856? I keep up with these things because it is the only shoe I live in. This price on Amazon is great, too. Much less than retail outlet.

Since I wear only New Balance tennis shoes, my podiatrist told me to get model #'s at least 800 or higher for the support. My orthotics (for neuromas and plantar fasciitis) fit very nicely in this shoe. The shoe is very stiff, but I suppose they're supposed to be for support. I like the "wideness" in the toe area - much better for feet. I wish these were a little more cushy, but again maybe they're not supposed to be. I haven't tried any other models in the 800's, so I will be curious as to the feel of a different model as compared to these. Overall, I'm quite happy with them though.

I LOVE this shoe I have Plantar Fascittis and, this shoe has really helped my pain tolorence when I exercise. Size is true to fit even if I wear heel cups. I exercise on concrete and this shoe absorbs shock great. These shoes are even great to walk in.

They fit well, true to size, plenty of room in the toe box. They fit my heel, not leaving too much room to slip around. The shoes grip well when I'm working out and support me well during lateral motion and help me when I'm doing circuit or cardio training. I would recommend these shoes for the serious exerciser.

i had had a lot of sneakers andd these new balance is the best especially if you suffer with arch pain like i do ,even if you need to use arches besides,i'm hooked on these shoes so will you.

My podiatrist recommended purchasing a cross training shoe from New Balance to assist in healing plantar facitis that I have had for 4 months. They are good quality and have eased the pain.

For the price, this is a great shoe. I walk about 4 miles each morning and these are very comfortable. They wear well and look good, too.

I got these last summer and what a joy to wear. I can go all day in these shoes. Will buy another pair right away. WORTH EVERY PENNY YOU PAY FOR THEM!

The shoes were much more narrow than marked. I've been very satisfied with New Balance in the past. I pretty much only wear New Balance at work. This pair of shoes was definitely manufactured incorrectly. I also had a problem with the vendor who advertised them as new, when they had obviously been worn and the original packaging was missing.
