Hi, if possible could you recommend a cheaper pair of New Balance shoes for walking on the path for an hour a day please? i have previously suffered from plantar fasciitis, thanks.

[jesusmejia]

I have a wide foot and prefer a wide toe box. According to this video, the 880 seems to be the best fit for me. Thank you for your video

[shubhshinde]

Thanks for the video. I would like to know whether I could buy New balance 574 over skechers shows for heel pain? Is 574 new balance is as comfortable as skechers? Because I love the look of those shoes over skechers. Please reply

Thank you James for the review.

Are the 860 and More v4
comfortable for all day wear?

I had the New Balance Fresh Foam Vonga's but they don't make them any more. I liked the support they had on the side. I have a high arch and supinate so I wear insoles to help with that. I also have suffered from plantar faciitis and I have found a walking shoe is better for me than a court shoe. Any idea which of these walking shoes is best for me?

Thank you my husband loves the 860 ( he has flat foot, but his toe seems to put a hole in the top of the mesh part any suggestions

Stay away from the 990GL6.. The foam breaks down causing the more solid rubber to split in a number of places.

I appreciate all your comprehensive reviews of good shoes. But I will disagree with the description of the NB 880 as "slightly wider", as a long-time NB wearer I had to return several sizes of the 880 because even the one a full size bigger than the NB I normally wear was very tight around the forefoot. I am 4E & the 880 full size bigger 4E was REALLY tight.

my right foot is 26.6 cm to the longest toe(2nd toe) and left is 27 cm with average foot width 10.5 cm and flat feet with low arches.I wear Nike and brooks usually in size US 10 with a thumb or slightly more space at front. Brooks glycerin 21GTS size US 10 Wide 2E almost fits good but slightly narrow in the midfoot now I have ordered online new balance rebel v4 and 1080v13 in size US 10 and width 2E both. Will they fit for me or not just wanted to ask because as according to chart my size exactly is US9 but in running shoes I heard to size half or full size up.

Good review, what would be the best shoe for bunions please

[Jonah_Krsna_]

Hey would you be able to reccomend a shoe for someone who is walking atleast 4 hours a day constantly on concrete and gets blisters fairly frequently. Thankyou ahead of time 🙏

Hi, I was diagnosed with Hoffa's syndrome and advised to get new shoes. What is best for this kind of disease? Thank you in advance.

[libertarianneighbor]

The 880 is marketed as a running shoe. Does that make a difference?

[mhb]

What do you think of the Newbalance 1080 V13?

[LoneBear-one]

Slow down talking to better understand…Thanks
