4E my foot... September 9, 2009 J. Layne 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I ordered the gray, 11.5 4E (yes, I'm a big active dude with a big wide foot). Are these things really 4E??? It says 4E on the label on the tongue, but I wonder, I just walked a couple miles from my car to work and they felt kinda pinchy. However, I'll assume they'll break in and also, I loosened the laces some more. But they just don't _look_ 4E, I have some terrific trail running shoes from NB I bought a few years back (won't dare use those babies on my walk to/from work on sidewalks, they're too sweet too wear 'em out like that!) and they fit so great from the start. These have me kind of worried. Also the sole seems a little stiff and clompy, I assume that that too will change with breaking in.
But I'm not knocking a star for these fears. No, I'm knocking a star because these shoes are made in China. There should be some mention of this on the page for the shoes, either there isn't or I was too dum to find it. When the heck did NBs start being made in China? I have nothing against the Chinese but dang, I want to support US businesses all I can with what little money I have to spend. So I guess my days of blindly assuming I'll buy NB shoes are over, just like my days of telling people to just buy a Dell. Great. Just great. Grrrr....
UPDATE:
Ok, it's been a week so here's my update. They still feel a bit too pinchy. I tried to loosen the laces as much as I could to make up for that, to the point that there is visible slack in the laces. The shoes were a tad clompy to start with, I suppose due to the stiffness of the soles, but now with the loose laces they are much too much like flip-flops for my liking, and I clip-clop way too often when walking. This is making them sound horrible, which they are not, I've had horrible shoes and these are not that bad, they just really weren't made for big wide feet like mine, and I'm used to a softer, more responsive sole. So I'm more unhappy after a week of wear than I was initially, and will have to save up some more $$ to buy another pair. I'm pretty sure it won't be another pair of these or anything like them, and I'm not too sure it will be New Balances at all, to be honest.
good shoe except on wet tile December 31, 2009 H Baker (Longview, WA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am very happy with this shoe after about 25 miles. They are excellent on the gravel walking paths in my area. My only complaint is that the tread is too slippery on tile flooring when the shoes are wet. It rains a lot where I live. The entry way flooring in my house is tlle and I had slipped there right after I got the shoes but thought maybe they needed to be roughed up a bit by normal wear. But I did not view this as a problem until last night when I stopped at a fast food resturant, to use their restroom, and the shoes slipped as I made a turn on the tile floor. I have not had a problem on any other type of flooring or pavement.
Pleased with the purchase January 10, 2009 J. Beitz (Macon, GA United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
After searching and searching in stores, I was pleasantly surprised to find what I wanted on line, and even more so when I received the shoes. Thanks for great service, a great product, and a great price! I'll definitely be back.
Extremely Comfortable July 19, 2010 Steven W. Blackwood (Milwaukee WI) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
and so far the soles are holding up nicely. For whatever reason, soles on other shoes seem to wear very unevenly. They seem to wear away on the insides quite quickly. These New Balance shoes show little signs of such wear.
