Great for high arches! September 10, 2008
Reviewer: Okie runner from Oklahoma
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
I bought this shoe after it was recommended by my physical therapist. I have suffered from plantar fasciitis in the past, and this shoe, along with my inserts, helps to stabilize and support my foot. The base is wide, however, and due to my running stride, I sometimes nick my opposite ankle with the base of the shoe as my leg pulls to the front. I remedy this by wearing a sock that covers my ankle.

New Balance WR817 August 01, 2008
Reviewer: Cherie A from Forest City, NC
Shoe Size: Felt half size smaller than marked
Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
I brought this shoe to replace my old 970's which were also built for over-pronators. When I put them on, it was like slipping my narrow arch-less feet into cradles. Not having to mess with orthotics or other aides, priceless! The New Balance WR817's fit better than my others.

New Balance WR817--Serious comfort! July 03, 2008
Reviewer: Esse from Boston, Massachusetts
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
I use this sneaker for cardio and strength/circuit training and love them. This sneaker delivers all-around comfort. No pinching, constricting, or pain. A lot of support in the ball of the foot and the heel. Ankle feels secure and comfortable, not wobbly or mobile. Great sneaker for people who want an all-around comfortable sneaker that stands up to all sorts of physical fitness.
Wears this shoe: Cardio, circuit, strength training

Disappointed June 25, 2008
Reviewer: Theresa from Tacoma, WA
Shoe Size: Felt full size smaller than marked
Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Never had NB shoes that I didn't like before these. They were much shorter than the usual size 9. Also, the extra wide size did not seem extra wide. Material seemed cheap, as well.
Wears this shoe: I would have worn it for anything.

Shoe Size: Felt true to size

I didn't like the color but otherwise it is a good shoes. Good fit, good stability. The sole is made solid instead of a break between the sole and the heel. I don't like that look. Otherwise a great shoe.

Great running/ walking shoe February 06, 2008
Reviewer: Deneice from North Carolina
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
I was especially looking for a shoe that would allow my feet enough room so that my toes would not overlap during my work-out. This shoe gives me just what I wanted. Feels wonderful whether I am walking or running. Will buy again in about six months.
Wears this shoe: When I work out

I am hard to fit(6.5EE). Not many choices locally except old lady styles. I love this pair I got from Shoebuy. Most of my shoes are New Balance. This shoe is VERY comfortable and true to size. The colors are great. I am thrilled to have found Shoebuy and will order again. I kept four of the six pair I ordered my very first time! Thank you for free shipping AND free returns.
Wears this shoe: Home,errands, workplace (sometimes)
