Customer Reviews New Balance 1540v3

I love the style and color! Perfect fit. Use them to run, they are light by a little stiff. Ok for the gym.

I have been on a shoe mission. My very favorite walking/all around shoes are still the Vionic classic walker ... just wish they had better color selection. They have the best motion control AND arch support. Love them. However, I needed something a bit sportier and lighter looking. I bought five shoes all of which I researched including the Brooks Adrenaline. I decided to keep two different pair of New Balance. I love the 860v110 the best even though the 1540 has a bit more motion control and heel support. Both great motion control. The 860v10 is very light so that will be warm weather shoe and 1540 my everyday walking shoes. Love them both. No issues in the heel with the 860v10 that others reported. Highly recommend both these shoes plus the Vionic class walker. Plenty of toe box room although I ordered a 7.5 wide.

I am using this shoe for everyday use. It is a well made shoe, however it has some draw backs. First the laces are a little too short. Second, the heel is not narrow enough for me because I do have a narrow heel. I would prefer a snugger fit in the heel area.

Disappointing such a pricey shoe comes with laces too short to properly lace and tie the shoe.

Finally found a shoe that works for me. Gave it 4 stars because the shoe is little too heavy.

I have worn 1540s for years, but the new laces are awful! They are too short and feel more like plastic. Can't rate them as a 5 for this reason. When you pay this much money for a pair of shoes, they should come with quality laces.

only negative is I wish they still made this shoe as it former 1540 in the white and purple color scheme. I need white shoes for work.

Not comfortable. Have gone back to my original pair. Ordered new insoles for the old pair, hope the insoles bring the old pair back to life. The new shoes don't have enough padding in the heel cup.

Love the shoes, just wish they weren't so expensive.

As usual, this shoe is awesome - great fit, roll bar etc. However the laces were entirely too short! I've never had this problem In the 20 or so years that I've been purchasing New Balance workout shoes and I couldn't believe it when that became an issue this time around. They couldn't lace through the holes and also tie up too. It's the only reason that this gets 4 instead of 5 stars.

I wear this shoe and other NB shoes every day. I do a lot of walking and this shoe is perfect for motion control. I do have a request about this shoe for the future. It would be great if there was a greater color selection.

Love the shoes but...HOW CAN WE ORDER REPLACEMENT SHOELACES ONLINE?

Have used New Balance for years. Love this shoe but laces are a bit too short.

I am going to order a smaller size to see exactly how I like the shoe.

I've worn the 1540, the 1540v2, and now the 1540v3. They are the only shoes I can wear that give me the support I need, so I am limited and have to wear whatever is available. I miss the original 1540 and tried to buy it from other retailers for as long as I could, but haven't been able to find it anymore. So, I have settled for the 1540v2, which was horrible, but it was all I had. The 1540v3 is much better so far, but I've only been wearing them a week. REALLY wish the 1540 had stayed as the original!
