  • Shoe fits me perfectly - 1 year review. NB 860 vs NB 880 vs Nike Pegasus
Color: White/Helium Size: 8
It's been a year and my white shoe is grungy but the sole remains shiny. I recommend ordering a shoe with colorful uppers and sole to keep looking shiny. Toe edge fabric is beat up with zero protection which is ok because reinforced toes annoy my toe. I used this shoe for everything from jogging, walking and light mowing. The colored sole hides grass stains. Do not climb the roof because the high sole is bad for balance and the uneven roof surface stretches out the shoe. I got the 860 for foot pain. I also have the 880 but after an hour my feet started hurting in the 880 and the same pain for beautiful Nike Pegasus. For stability 860 is the best shoe I have ever owned and fits me perfectly. I also bought New Bal 860 for my family members for a total of 4 x 860. 6 Stars. ... show more

  • Great Shoe!
Color: Black/White Size: 10 Wide
I have used New Balance shoes for years! Being in healthcare, and needing something supportive, this brand was recommended to me by our orthopedic surgeons in the day. I have since retired, and started with another name brand, however, there is no lasting support feature and the memory foam breaks down after a while, and is difficult to remove and replace, even though the shoe is in good condition. I am in my 70's and needed something practical. I got 2 pair, at different times, that have roll bar technology. Not easy to find anymore. I have a slip on (NB) pair with removable insoles, which suit my needs well. However, I needed more. Not in numbers of pairs, but the right fit and feel for stability. I had my misgivings, at first, with the fresh foam, but found it to be different from memory foam. These shoes are REALLY fabulous!! And I would buy another in a heartbeat!! ... show more

  • Amazingly comfortable!
First, I’ve had horrible feet for a good portion of my life, and it’s always challenging to find comfortable shoes. In 2018 I had surgery to correct a huge bunion and four hammertoes, all on my left foot. Now I’m developing tailors bunions on the opposite foot. I’m a mess. When my old shoes started showing evidence of impending failure I started looking for a new pair. These were mentioned in a few customer reviews as being very comfortable and still offering a good amount of stability, and they definitely check both boxes! From the first moment I put them on I noticed that A: They were VERY comfortable, like “Worn and broken in for a few weeks” comfortable, right out of the box…and B: I noticed a definite increase in the stability around my ankles. Now, I DO have to admit that this particular color scheme does make me look like a tourist when coupled with my cargo pants and white socks but I’m more interested in my feet and their comfort than what my shoes look like to random strangers. On THAT level these shoes score a home run! And, I forgot to mention, these were $139.00 shoes on sale for $67.99. BIG SCORE!!! ... show more

  • Defective Shoes
Color: Black/White Size: 9.5
I bought these for a month long trip to Europe. They were the identical shoe and size as a pair I bought in March 2022 from REI. My old pair fit great, worked well for me, and I had no problems wearing them without socks. I walk most every day and had worn them a lot. I never have to break in shoes. Most all athletic shoes work fine for me out of the box. Unfortunately, I did not wear these new ones much before I left for my trip assuming they would be identical. They weren't. I had noticed the shoelaces were oddly short. I could hardly tie a bow. (See photo.) That should have clued me in something was different. They were also laced up pretty tight - maybe so the short shoe laces were less obvious. They felt more snug than my old ones but I thought I was wearing socks and maybe that was the problem. After walking for a day or two on my trip I developed blisters on both little toes and I definitely felt the toe box was shorter and snugger. Feeling inside the shoe I found scratchy seams, maybe dried glue. But the bigger problem was knobby bumps coming out from the sides - like the material had gathered a little when glued or sewn - and the bumps rubbed against my toes. I was uncomfortable for a month. Once I got home I compared the shoes to make sure the sizes were the same and they were. The old ones were smooth with no lumps on the inside. The new ones still feel too short and they rub my toes. I wonder if these were actually factory seconds. If I had paid $49 I might be less critical, but I paid about $100 for them. It is too late for me to return them. The seller on the pair I bought is different than shown here, but if I go to the shoe on the seller's store it takes me here. I'm not sure if it is the same company or what. ... show more
