These shoes have all the features of the shoe recommended by the provider my Ortho dr. sent me to at just about half the price. They are sturdy, and have good support. They have the roll bar to make walking easier and have a large enough toe box so no rubbing, and they an adequate arch support.
They feel just about the same on my feet.

Pros: These are strong and comfortable athletic shoes with a real round toe. Perfect fit.
Cons: No special ‘enhanced’ arch support, just regular. No ventilation. No ‘fashion statement’.
Not gift-worthy because of the tiny fastener. (See photo. That little grommet came apart the first time I tied them).
The shoes are so foot-friendly and potentially health-promoting, that AMA lobbyists may need to convince regulators that the shoes should be prescription-only. Lol

4.0 out of 5 stars Runs a bit short.
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2021
Size: 7Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I've been wearing New Balance 813 for over 15 years. They are very durable and keep their shape. Excellent, comfortable walking shoe good in all weather, and attractive too. It's been about 5 years since I bought my last pair. I've been a size 7 for many years, however, when I ordered size 7 this time, the shoes clearly pressed on my toes causing discomfort. I believe the shoes were about a half size shorter than my old size 7's. For this reason, I had to return them, but I intend to purchase them again in a size 7 1/2.

I’ve had these with insert for difference between right and left legs due to knee replacement surgery as well as orthotics for over 5 years!

Replaced shoe laces a couple of times and replacing shoes now because they are dingy but absolutely the best shoes ever!

3.0 out of 5 stars Would be ok except...
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2022
Verified Purchase
I bought these on the recommendation of my foot doctor. Arch supports were supposed to fit in there. Arch supports fit in, but then my foot didn't fit in. The shoe seemed well made and fit pretty good without the arch supports. BUT on the bottom of the shoe the heel has a piece cut off of the end of the heel. You can't see it in the photos but it is a sharply beveled heel. If you walk perfectly straight on your foot it might be ok but I hit a bit to the outside of my heel and it was very uncomfortable to walk. Returned them, and my search goes on for a sneaker I can wear.

i wish these shoes would come in more colors for my size, i would buy another pair if i could get a different color. these shoes are very comfortable from day 1 considering how high the support rating is. didn't have to break them in like most shoes, they fit great and give me the support i need for my active work in my job. i am a nurse and have to be on my feet several hours per day & i don't have to worry about sore feet when i get home. i get the support i need & the comfort i have come to expect from New Balance shoes. i would highly recommend these shoes for anyone who is very active at work or has an active lifestyle. top of the line product!!

Size: 10 NarrowColor: BlackVerified Purchase
This was my second delivery of these shoes. They are very stiff and insides are hard. Not comfortable for walking, everyday shoes. First order was a Wide (ordered a 2A Narrow) and arrived in box with no lid, beat up and rubber bands holding shoes in box. Second order came in same kind of box with no lid and 3 rubber bands. This should have been a sign. I will check out the seller in future. Hesitant to by shoes through Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy comfortable walking shoe
Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2023

I bought these walking shoes to have a heavier and more damp-resistant shoe than my usual lightweight New Balance walking shoes. They are great for dry winter days if it's not too cold, and if it's damp or raining. Fits true to size although the width is a bit more snug than their other walking shoes, but not enough to make it worth moving from normal to wide width. Very comfortable from the first wearing.

Very rarely do I find shoes wide enough to take my orthotics and bunions. These do the job quite nicely. Because of this they are quite large and rounded at the toes making my feet look big. The price of comfort! Some darker colours would be more flattering.
