Customer Reviews New Balance 840v3

This shoe is, per New Balance, the "new model" of the old W840V2. I was disappointed the old one was discontinued, but looked forward to trying this. Unfortunately it is not at all similar, and I am returning it. The v2 had a much thicker sole, with far less flexibility in the forefoot. This shoe bends so easily it might as well be a flip-flop. I need an exercise shoe with little to no flexibility in the forefoot (due to severe metatarsal pain), and this no longer fits the bill. I'm not sure why New Balance issued a replacement model that doesn't actually replace (or improve upon) a major feature of the previous version. Time to look elsewhere.

love these shoes but oddly the tongue dies not come up quite high enough. i know that sounds weird but it makes a difference! i have many pairs of new balance and this is the only one with a short tongue. i still love them, though. super comfortable.

I have been wearing the NB 840V3 style for approx. 2 years. This is 3rd pair. Love the way these make my feet feel and love the color.

Both the men's and woman's 840 V3 I are the best shoes ever made! After I got my pair, I had to get my wife a pair. We are both a little on the heavier side and have been trying to get active, but our feet would hurt so much when we tried. But since we got these shoes, we have been able to consistently walk long distances without any foot pain. The only downside is they stopped making the V3 and the V4 does not feel the same. Please bring back the V3!!!!'

Love my New Balances! Since rupturing my disc 2 years ago, it is so important I find a pair of shoes with cushioning and support. These are better than I hoped for!

I've worn this same style shoe for more than ten years now. My foot doctor recommended them to support overpronation. No other shoe I've tried gives me the special support that makes walking bearable. I love the current color and always look for a change to white, but that hasn't happened yet. I'll keep buying this shoe as long as they keep producing them.

These shoes are a good fit and comfortable. I have a narrow foot and all I buy, sneaker wise, are New Balance. No need to change that theory after these shoes either.

After having foot surgery I needed a shoe with good arch support. These have been excellent for balance, walking and arch support. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone looking for arch support or a really good walking shoe.

these are the best shoes ever! comfortable the minute they go on your feet. nice wide toe box and perfect fit.

I was never ever found any shoes that were comfortable for my left foot. I am not a runner. Can't run because of lung problems. However these shoes help me walk faster and for a long period of time. I also own 585 (maybe 595) with Rollbar sole. I was OK with it. But this 840/v3 I am tally satisfied. My left foot is a little strange. I have to skip a couple of holes near my toes to make the left shoe more comfortable..

I must preface my review by saying I am not a runner. I stand and walk a lot at work. I have multiple foot issues including: high arch and instep, plantar fasciitis, extremely wide feet and I am over weight. I have prescription orthotics that I wear in all of my other shoes. I do not need them in these shoes. The arch support and overall cushioning in these shoes is excellent. My feet are well support.ed The cushioning in the shoes also gives my knees a break. Please make more shoes with this style foot bed! The width of these shoes is also nice.
