Customer Reviews New Balance MW1400v1

I ordered these shoes in 13/4E. I felt confident in the size b/c I have worn New Balance walking, crosstraining and running shoes in that size for probably 15 years. When these came, I could barely get my feet in them. I would say they are either mislabeled or at least two sizes too small. They look at least two inches shorter than my dress shoes, which are 12EEE. Right now I am wearing my 13/4E NB walking shoes which are less than two years old and which are, if anything, a little loose. I am sending these back and not trying again. i am loyal to NB b/c of their production of shoes in widths, but this was ridiculous. It's hard to find these in stores which is why I ordered online, but that's the last time I try that.

These shoes are great for walking. I'm 83 years old and walking sometimes is difficult for me, but these shoes have made walking a lot more comfortable.

I luv this boot! Fit is perfect, comfortable as usual and keeps the ankle stable. I recommend this boot for sure.

I wear these shoes all the time, except when I am sleeping. I use the old ones for work boots. When I first put them on it is like I have been wearing them forever. Until I found these shoes, my feet constantly hurt. Great Product.

I have foot problems that required surgery several years ago. New Balance has consistently been by far the most comfortable shoe for me. My recent purchase is the third for this specific shoe. I order the same size each time, and the shoe has been consistent it fitment and finish.

Good fit, good ankle support for hiking. This is my 4th pair, never a problem right out of the box.

My husband was wearing through shoes at work every 2 months. His feet hurt, he was always feeling worn down and tired. On a whim, while visiting Indianapolis, we stopped in the New Balance store. He had been looking for something with more ankle support for work. They did a great job! They analyzed and sized his feet and watched how he walked to make recommendations. He was hesitant at first because of the cost and they said he was wearing shoes too big for his feet. He finally agreed to try them. He went down by a half size in shoe, bought the recommended inserts and guess what? He came home from work the first day of wearing them and said they were like walking on clouds. He felt great! His feet were not sore, he was less tired than normal. They lasted him 11 months of constant walking the shop floors! This purchase was a replacement, for the exact same boots. He was so impressed, we replaced them with the same. He loves them, and we will buy them again next time also! Footwear does make a difference in how you feel. New Balance has our vote!

I am 62 years old and weigh ~ 275 lbs. I purchased these shoes for home landscaping and gardening activities. I am not a hiker, per se, but believed the engagement of both activities would be much the same, i.e. "off road" :-). That being said, these shoes have been everything I hoped for. After wearing them for the first time, by the end of the day my knees felt so much better than they did with my old shoes. The high top for ankle support, along with the roll bar feature, delievered what I needed. Furthermore, to my surprise, the shoes felt much lighter than I had anticipated. I also found the toe box in this shoe to be more spacious than NB's athletic style shoes; I wear a 15 EE.

I ordered these with a 6E width. Way too small, they were tighter than the 4E width golf shoes and running shoes I bought at the same time. Sent back for a refund

I bought these boots at the end of winter in the USA (Pacific and Inland NW.) I live in Spokane, WA and am a housecleaner who routinely works 80 hours a week. I have worn these shoes to work. They are very waterproof and very breathable...even when it's hot at work. GREAT ankle support that does not create blisters because the ring spreads out over a lot of your lower leg, not just rubbing on one spot..and that ring is wonderfully breathable. (That is the only spot that some water will soak in a *little.* And I mean, a *very little*, when stream crossing in water deeper than my shoe. I have been in mud and lakes getting out of kayaks. I hiked difficult terrain (large, loose rocks) at Goldbug, ID, 8 mi. in Craters of the Moon Natl Monument on rough lava of all sids that cuts your skin. 10 miles in Silver Falls State Park. The stability that these shoes offer in various terrains is AWESOME. The recommendation to get a size bigger than normal is spot on. I take 8.5s in women to accomodate my wide feet (4E. Women's default is B width.) So I ordered 4.5 in men's, in which D is the default width... and I could not be happier. Probably 200 miles so far on these shoes at local hikes in Spokane...rain, snow, mucking around the yard, and on concrete for city walks. Good for stair climbs and footing... I was a bit concerned about the flat-ish tread design, but I have not slid or fell. The best part? NO FOOT ODOR. GREAT MATERIALS. No damage at all to the shoe with all that I have done!

Have very flat feet and do a lot of walking for my job. These are the only boots that my feet aren't killing me at the end of the day.
