Customer Reviews New Balance 1165v1

Fits perfectly. I needed a walking shoe that was comfortable but had decent arch support because my feet are somewhat flat. Also wanted something that had a little more support around the back heel/ankle area. This fits the bill. THe support around the back of the shoe is good, the arch is just right - not too high. Extremely comfortable, and really cute in the color purple.

Love love these shoes the extra wide is Perfact ! Also bought the dark purple! I am a Diabetic with of course bad knees and back , these shoes have enourged me to walk 3 miles a day!

This is definitely true to size. I’m a nine and this fit well with socks and it’s extremely comfortable. After trying five different pairs that didn’t work these are a keeper. I like how they’re neutral but still have a little bit of color.

I wear size 12 NARROW, a very hard-to-find size, especially in lightweight running shoes. Thank you NEW BALANCE for making these shoes in narrow widths, especially in the larger sizes. These shoes are sized and styled in a way that they look "normal" (not clownish) in size 12! They are comfortable, good arch support, and well-styled.

I guess the color name should have tipped me off, but these are PURPLE! They look grey in the picture. I’ve been with Zappos for years, and have never seen this bad a discrepancy. Great shoes, though - just not the right color.

Best shoe ever. Am an RN.

I like these shoes! I supinate markedly on the right, and these shoes hold my foot firmly in neutral position. I am able to walk-in them without knee or upper back pain, a great improvement. They do fit well in my usual NB size.

I'm not crazy about the syle. But, I have very hard to fit feet (10.5 WW) so my choices are limited. I was looking for a good lightweight pair of everyday run errands, live life kind of shoes. These are nice. Not much gel support though, so you won't get what a running sneaker gives you. But I live in a warm climate and so far I am happy with them.

Like many of the other reviews, I thought this shoe was too short. My big toe was at the very end of the shoe. The color is really a dark gray, I thought it would be more purple.

New Balance is always a great brand. I found these to run a bit small. I have a wide foot and the width feet okay but length was a bit short. A bit more sleek than old school NB shoes, overall nice look.

I've been wearing NB for over 25 years and a NB EE for a few years. These don't have the cushiony 'feel' I'm used to nor are they as supportive. When I put them on I noticed immediately that it did not have the signature comfort of NB. But what really surprised me is that these do not feel like a EE - they run much narrower. I would call the color a dark eggplant but it's quite attractive. However, these are definitely not a true EE on my feet so back they go! Those of us with EE have limited choices so this shoe is a real disappointment.

First time I tried extra wide and my feet feel so much better! I have pinched nerves so Dr recommended extra wide and my feet do feel better. Thank you!

This shoe not only looks great but is very comfortable on long walks with my dogs.

I ordered my usual size of 8.5WW - these fit perfectly; I go out walking daily on groomed paths in the national forest, and these shoes support my foot well and are comfortable. My only complaint is that the shoe laces are the thin style, and too long for me so I need to double knot so the ends don't drag. I'm going to buy different laces, but would absolutely purchase these shoes again.

I stepped right into these! I have always been a 9.5, but lately am sensing that my feet are changing. I ordered 9.5s, and once on, thought I'd better get a bit more toe room. Was worried about width as I have very little "meat" on my feet - I think this is always why I cheat length a bit so that I get a better overall fit - when I go to 10s they are sloppy. Ordered a 10 narrow and a 10 medium. 10 narrow is perfection! Thank you Zappos - I've figured out my new shoe equation. I believe the free, SUPER fast shipping makes the difference.

Very comfortable shoes, good for long walks and provide good stability and support. I have bunions and the extra wide width selection is a real plus.

Super cute and light weight and stylish. Arch support is ok but the width is great. This is my 4th pair of new balances and my family buys them as well. We are a fan.

Comfortable, great looking shoe. The narrow width is perfect, but I needed a full size larger than my normal 8 1/2 to get sufficient length to accommodate socks.

Shoe runs shorter than other New Balance styles. I wear a 9 in Asics, but usually have to go with 8.5 in New Balance. For this shoe I had to exchange for a Size 9.

Very well-padded for such a light shoe. But I returned them just because they seemed a wee bit tight in the toe. I so wanted to keep them.

Best arch support ever! Overall comfortable. Love these sneakers!

I wear an 11W and this shoe is a perfect fit; roomy in the toes and comfortable for someone who walks 5-6 miles a day and is on her feet a lot! Also, the mesh top keeps my feet from getting so hot during the day.

I bought these shoes because I was having trouble with Plantar fasciitis. My last sneakers were on the inexpensive side and now I am having trouble with my feet. I bought a Plantar fasciitis insert for the sneakers as well. Although, my heel still hurts, I do think these new sneakers are helping. But, with the extra insert, it does make the arch a bit higher and there seems to be less toe room that in previous sneakers. But, overall, I am happy with these shoes. Thank you to Zappos for having such a good selection to purchase from!

The fit is true to size and width. The arch support and stability support are moderate. I always enhance the arch support with super feet or the likes. Over the years NB has skimped on quality so these are less 'substantial' shoes compared to before. This particular show was worth the price though. It is an attractive color. I would purchase again at the price.
