Customer Reviews New Balance WA900v1 Walking

I have feet that are wide in the middle and front and normal at the heel. I originally ordered these in 10 wide and they were way too wide. I always take out the original insoles and add a (Spenco) athletic insole, and even that did not make the wide version fit. I returned the 10 wide and got a 10 medium width. These fit comfortably even with the athletic insole and a slight heel lift in my left shoe. Very comfortable fit for me and very supportive ( have a fairly low arch). These might be too wide and too long for someone who usually wears a 10B. The style is a little "clumpy/heavy" looking, but they are athletic shoes, so that is to be expected. I have foot, low back, and hip issues and wanted these to wear around the house or for running errands; they could be used for walks or casual activities.

This is a great shoe. Unfortunately I sent them back due to arthritis in my ankle. The top of the shoe hit the bad part of my ankle. Very sad loved this shoe. Debbie

I really wanted to wear this shoe around the house but my foot doctor said I need support around my heel and these were not a good choice for me. Unfortunately, I had to return them. They are very well made and the fit was great however.

I love these shoes. I usually wear a wide but I sent the wide back and got the regular. I bought a pair in grey and another in the black. I love them both. I would like them in red but they do not make them in ted yet. I used to go barefoot around the house but these slip on so easy that I do that. I love these shoes.

I really like these slides. They are so comfortable and fit true to size. DO NOT order the same size as your closed NB shoes. You need to order your normal shoe size. I am a 10W, but I ordered this pair in a 10 1/2W since I wanted them just a tad bigger due to being scheduled for surgery. I will most likely order another pair in a 10W since I know those will be perfect. The day after receiving these I wore them all day shopping and they felt perfect. Got the grey which is very nice.

Ordered my regular shoe size and they fit perfectly. Very comfortable, easy on and off. Glad I decided to order!!

Comfortable right out of the box and they look good on the foot. Love my new Merrels.

I have a very high instep as well as wide feet. They fit perfectly right out of the box.

I went up 1/2 a size (from 9 wide to 9.5 wide) to allow for socks. Nice fit. Nice foot bed, shaped well maybe a tad to springie for me but most will like it.

These fit true to size - I wear a size 7 in regular shoes but a 7.5 in running shoes. These were perfect in length & width, wide at the forefoot but not swimmy. I was seriously considering keeping them for a convenient inside & outside shoe...but, seriously, I just couldn't wear this drab grey color. Black doesn't work well here in our very hot summers. Just think how much cuter these would be in light shades of pink, green & blue!

These shoes were a perfect fit the first time I put them on. They were much like the old New Balance 801 which I have worn for years. I like the new style very much and overall I am pleased with my purchase.

First bought 6. Too wide and big. Then black in 5 1/2. Too small.

I wear custom orthotics, its really unfortunate that the arch is too tight over the arch.

I love these mules, but I usually wear 6 1/2 in walking or running shoes. I had to return for size 6. I bought black and grey. The grey in size 6 was super perfect, but the black pair did not fit as well.

Not as attractive as the 801. Really miss it. The shoe tie box is very wide. More like rocs. Length was right for size but so wide could only wear certain Socks and the best look would be low sport socks or barefoot. I agree with other comments. Bring back the 801 or something similar. Really wanted an easy slip on.

Liked this idea of a slide, but too wide for my foot. I have a narrow foot and had a feeling I could have issues with the fit of this shoe.

I have wide feet and bunions. Not a great combo. I was looking for a pair of sneakers to keep by the kitchen door that I could slip on and off quickly to take the trash out or run a quick errand. And winter is coming so I ordered the wide width to accommodate thick socks.
