Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn In a long time. You can't tell you got any shoes on with there light weight. I am very pleased and will buy more. The best thing of all is that they come in my size 14 6E
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
#1) good work shoe
#2) made in EEEEEE widths (hard to find)
#3) the only 'con' is that it would be a bit more comfy made with a rounder toe to fit the REAL shape of a foot.

Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I am a woman with a wide foot.No one makes a woman's shoe in 6W.I must wear these ALL THE TIME. They don't look masculine/they shine up well/hold up for years/very comfortable.I use the white/black.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
Soles get quite stiff in cold weather.
Shoe laces should be about 12 inches shorter.
Good traction on ice and snow.
I would say the sizing is about one size small (short).
Comfortable.

I love this sneaker.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
There are few options in the marketplace for us oddball 6-E shoe width specimens. This shoe is nearly perfect in this regard - AFTER I stretch it out a little more with a few miles of walking.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
These are actually my wife's shoes. She has a short wide foot and most women's shoes do not fit her. She has always been able to get shoes that fit here. She likes the 811 leather sneaker and has bought four of five pairs over the years. They hold up well and are comfortable.

Great quality. Great shoe
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I bought these shoes to go on a trip and found them quite uncomfortable. They are the same size as previous but seemed small. I did a lot of walking on the trip but could not continue to wear the same shoes because my toes hurt.

Great
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
This is the only really comfortable shoe I've been able to find for years. I really wish it came in more colors. As you must know, more and more women are wearing men's sizes these days, so if you could consider your popular, long-lasting styles like this to be unisex (it does come in men's and women's, both N.B. 811), perhaps you could contract to have them made in additional colors, i.e. navy, bone, etc.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
These shoes felt great right out of the box. I've worn them for three full days with no ill effects (typical for NB). I wear them for casual use but it's back to the 608's(609) for power walking. Mine have laces vs. velcro straps.
Great shoes!!
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I use the shoe for classy casual wear. It feels very good and comfortable
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
New Balance 811's have become "formal wear" for my retirement lifestyle. They're comfortable, always look good, and are the perfect thing to wear to dinner and/or the theater.
Point, click, and a few days later, collect my double-boxed merchandise from the doorstep. What could be easier or more convenient?
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I use for walking distances and the shoe is very sturdy and comfortable.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I suffer with Degenerative disc disease every day and if I stand anytime at all I have terrible back pain in my L-4, L-5 region but when I found these shoes I could stand a little longer without that pain so it totally improved the quality of my life. Thank you New Balance for making quality shoes.

Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I was somewhat worried when I opened the box and found a pair of quite ugly shoes. It took me a week or so to even try them out as I really wanted to just return them. After about a week of wearing them, the real test came when we went to Sea World. I realized after a time that my ankle was not aching as it would have been wearing any other shoe I own. Wow. Even the look of them has grown on me.....
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:

Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
Narrow shoes are very hard to find in larger sizes. These have been a blessing to find and my husband has no sore feet for since we have purchased this shoe. Hope they never discontinue it, or give us warning to stock up. Thank you. JC
PS Just wish they made golf shoes in 14/B from NB.

Being a diabetic, my husband requires comfortable, well fitting shoes. This shoe fits the bill. Orders the same style several times a year. Would be very disappointed if they stopped carrying this item.

The brown are better looking than in the catalog, and a good choice when white athletic shoe looks out of place.

Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I am defenitely a WOMAN with a size 12 1/2 AAAA foot. The ONLY sneakers I have been able to find that fit and are comfortable are New Balance "men's" in 11 1/2 AA, with a Dr. Scholl's gel pad insert. The ladies 12 AAAA is too short and does not have the overall fit.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
Excellent value, feels great all day long walking on concrete
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
These shoes are really soft on the inside, no places that rub after a day's work. My plantar fasciitis was better the very first day I wore them.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
Can't understand why 12 2A's are not available in black or brown. I would have all three colors.

My husband has worn these for years on a daily basis. He finds them to be very comfortable and durable. I purchased these for my son who has wide feet and problems with his heels. He agrees they are comfortable and great for his daily walks. New Balance is a very good shoe.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
Good shoe, comfortable. Sole is pretty solid with little flex, effects driving, tends to slip off the gas pedal. Not a problem after some use.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
Due to problems with my feet, I have difficulty getting comfortable, wide enough shoes. These fit the bill for me.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I work in a Hospital and I am on my feet all day long. I choose this product because It comes in a wide width that goes up to 6wide. This sneaker lasted me one whole year of being on my feet 10hrs a day 5days a week. This is my second purchase and I hope you will carry this sneaker so that I may purchase it every year. Thank You.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I work for the Sheriff's office and I walk anywhere from 2 to 8 miles a day. The 811 is so comfortable to wear that at the end of the day my feet feel as fresh as they did in the morning.
They give great support in the arches, the ball of the foot and the heel. I have a wide foot and with the 6e width I have lots of room.
I have 2 pairs of them now and would not give them up for anything.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
Great walking shoe
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
Since I wear a very narrow size, I don't have many choices when it comes to casual and athletic shoes. I have purchased many pairs of New Balance shoes over the years and I have found them be very serviceable and true to size. Thanks New Balance
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I use the New Balance shoes daily around the house, for shopping and travel. My feet feel as if I'm not wearing shoes. The product was shipped promptly and arrived in good condition. Similar shoes from this vendor have worn well and I expect these to do the same. I do recommend these shoes to friends and will be ordering more in the future. Thanks for a good product.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:

Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I especially like to wear these shoes when I travel because they are so easy to take off and put back on when going through Security at Airports.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
This is a nice shoe. If you're on your feet all day like I am, this shoe works. Sturdy and comfortable they're also good for walking. The only thing I don't really like are the velcro straps, but I need them because I have weak ankles and have to wear ankle braces every day. If these shoes were made with ankle support they would be great. The people at New Balance need to think about that. It would help a lot of people.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I have owned and used several pairs of this model. It is the best walking shoe I have ever worn.

Gym, field workouts.
Prompt delivery, good condition.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
NB is the shoe, product line, that saved my ability to function as an adult. Until they came out with their products I had years of foot problems and constant pain. When I found them, I purchased and wore their products exclusively. I have even bought multiple pairs of the same style shoe, when I found a style that was perfect. If they ever decide to go out of business, I will have to buy 20 pairs so I have enough pairs to last me for the rest of my life.
I hope that day never comes.

These shoes still seem to be a little wide for 13AA sizing. Should still be narrower for the size.
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
Recommended by a doctor who specializes in diabetic foot care as being solid and stable with good arch support even though there's no definable heel. I use them for every day wear and have less foot fatigue than I did with other models

This is the best pair of shoes i have ever bought they are light wieght and do not were out easly i usualy go though a pair of shoes in 6 months these have lasted a year and only have minimal wear on the souls and when I first got them i did not even have to break them in they felt perfect from the first day
Comments about New Balance New Balance Men's Model 811 Walking Shoe:
I am glad I bought these shoes. I like the comfort and convenience of the velcro strap. No re-lacing needed. Wide size accommodates my feet nicely.
I wish that a shade of brown available. Black does not match with some clothes I wear, and the other color available is too light - will show dirt, stains.

[...]. The shoe is narrow and large sizes that are narrow are hard to find. I have worn this 811 New Balance style for the past six years. My wife has diabetes and wears the 811 for women and they are the best shoe for numb feet and balance. We are very satisfied customers.

Having a shoe that provides hours of comfort and useful service is hard to find. These are not the first or last pair I shall own.
Over the years delivery has never been a problem, it is always dependable. The catalogs and web site has been changed and updated to the point that rare is the need for customer service. Normal descriptions and info is enough.

I don't know what I will do if New Balance ever discontinues this shoe. It's recommended by my PT expert and I can function at my best wearing it. Spinal injury during surgery by anestheiologist left me partially paralyzed & in constant pain. BUT WITH THIS SHOE AND Rx FOR PAIN, I CAN WALK. I wear brace for dropped foot and use a walker. Wish it came in white, too.
