It is a very sturdy feeling shoe. It works fine with an orthotic. The shoe being all leather is a heavy shoe. My feet do not hurt after walking 2 miles in them. I wish they made them in the 4 As or 3 As. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: The 811 if you have narrow feet. 2008-08-23 09:18:09 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: Sheri from Omaha, Nebraska Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Extremely Comfortable! I have worn New Balance shoes for a long time, but the 926 is the most comfortable style ever! I developed plantar fasciitis after my last trip to Europe because I did not wear my New Balance shoes. It took the 926 to get the condition under control. As always Zappos service is the best!

They look 100% better than I expected and have room for my orthotics. Now I can continue my volunteer service in comfort. I wear a size 11B and have severe pronation problems so it's impossible to find and try out shoes from a shoe store. With Zappos free shipping PLUS FREE RETURNS I can shop, order and TRY any shoe quickly and easily! Thanks, Zappos, for being there with the prices and choices I need!

I have problems with my feet and have a hard time finding comfortable shoes. These sneakers felt great right out of the box and still do. I would definitely recommend these sneakers and ZAPPOS is a great way to shop. I got my sneakers sooner than I expected too!!! Thanks ZAPPOS! 2008-08-19 08:23:51 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: Carol M from Fresno Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Best shoe ever!!! My arches were in so much pain until I put this style on and wore them to work. I couldnt be more pleased with a shoe! For me, this is heaven. 2008-08-11 09:23:44 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: Lois V from Harmony, MN Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support My favorite shoe - This is my 4th or 5th pair of New Balance shoes. They have a nice fit for my wide foot and high instep. I am overweight and need a good shoe. New Balance is well constructed and comfortable. I like to get the white, but will be trying another color the next time. I keep my old ones for working on the farm. My new ones are kept for "good". They never wear out!

Did not need to take a bigger size for the length. First pair of shoes I did not have to return in 8 months. I am grateful for these shoes...

This shoe provides support and is comfortable. I'll keep wearing it while volunteering in a job that requires black shoes and a lot of standing. I can't honestly rate the sizing as I am wearing an elastic wrap on one foot. It seems roomy. It's from an SL-2 last. 2008-07-27 16:11:12 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: Paulette from Moreno Valley, CA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Do you have plantar fasciitis? These may not turn any heads as you stroll along, but you will be able to stroll in less pain! I have a wide foot and use a custom orthodic. The foot bed of the shoe comes out and my orthodic fit perfectly. If you are just learning about care for a plantar fasciitis condition, this shoe has a great toe box (design in the front) and the roll bar helps to keep the heel stable. I tried them on at a retailer first and the sizing was true to fit for me. Take care of your feet! Be blessed!

The shoe is comfortable without the orthotic, but not with it feels too small. 2008-07-20 10:16:43 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: from Boston, MA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support A great shoe - This walking shoe is so very comfortable. It's hard for me to find a decent pair of shoes, as I have a wide width, but these are the best. Thanks!

Even if I'm only using one for now! I broke my right leg, and when I was fitted with my "boot" after surgery, I needed a shoe that had a high enough sole so that my hip wouldn't hurt when I walked. The New Balance WW926 is great! It provides plenty of support, handles my orthotic well, and was comfortable within two days of wearing it. Pretty soon I'll be breaking in the other shoe, but I don't think it will be a problem at all. I love New Balance and will buy again and again. 2008-07-18 06:57:40 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: from NJ Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Exactly sized - These have lots of support and are exactly as sized; a true 10.5 med which is a rare find. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Santana 2008-07-16 22:08:41 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: Julie C from Oregon Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Awesome! I just purchased my 2nd pair of these. True, they aren't the most attractive athletic shoe, but the comfort and durability outweigh that. I wear them every day since I am on my feet constantly. My first pair is still in good condition even though I wore them daily for more than a year. I would highly recommend them to anybody. New Balance has never let me down. 2008-07-16 19:09:59 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: from Florida Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Practical but my size. Because I have health issues and problems with my feet, it is necessary for me to buy supportive shoes that are not usually fashionable. My shoe size is 5 1/2 double wide and impossible to buy anywhere. I have been buying shoes that were not my size and being uncomfortable as my size has not been available to me. I recently have found Zappos.com and was surprised to see 5 1/2 double wides listed. I figured when I tried to order I would be told that size was not available. That did not happen. Then my shipping was ungraded at no extra cost to me which I thought was very nice of Zappos to do. 2008-07-14 10:14:12 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: from Columbus, Ohio Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Best shoe ever! I can take these shoes and put them on right out of the box and feel very comfy. I need them for custom orthotics and order extra wide and extra to accommodate them. Perfect! 2008-07-07 14:49:38 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: Gail P from Decherd, Tenn Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support GREAT - These shoes are the only type I find that don't hurt my feet. I have foot surgery due to curled under toes and these shoes feel great. I am also a diabetic. I am very satisfied.

I ordered several pairs of shoes for a trip to Europe, and these were the ones I decided on because they were so comfortable from the moment I put them on. I always take several pairs of walking shoes on a trip so I can change out as my feet start to hurt, but my feet did not hurt at all in these, and I only changed shoes if I needed something dressier. I have worn New Balance 843 for years, but it was not available in black. I'm really glad, because this shoe is even more comfortable than the 843. I had a great trip thanks to New Balance and Zappos.

After several knee surgeries and years of chronic lower back pain, my chiropractor suggested a New Balance shoe for walking - numbered at least 800. After reviewing the other comments about many shoes on Zappos.com, I selected the 926. I am pleased with this choice, although the heel on one shoe slips a little. I ordered 9.5 N. I will wear a thicker sock on the foot with heel slippage. No more back pain, much better posture and can walk at a faster pace. Thanks, Zappos, for making the customer reviews available! 2008-07-02 09:29:47 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: Linda from Raleigh, NC Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Wonderful Shoe - These shoes have been wonderful for me. I have to wear custom orthotics due to plantar fasciitis, and I always had to buy wide shoes to accommodate them. That was a problem since I have narrow heels. These shoes have wide, deep toes, but the heel area is not wide. There is plenty of room for my orthotic and I can even put the padded insole back in on top for added cushioning. I am able to wear my regular size of 9B. The shoe is super comfortable right out of the box. 2008-07-02 05:32:29 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: from Great Lakes Region, MI Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Painful to Wear - Conventional wisdom often suggests that the uglier and clunkier the shoe, the more comfort it provides. Well, in this case that statement is simply not true. I was literally in tears after wearing these shoes for only four hours. I have a large bunion on my left foot which was irritated horribly by these shoes and I have a painful heel spur on my right heel that was not feeling any relief after trying these shoes, despite my doctor promising me that this particular style of New Balance Walking Shoe would bring me relief from my chronic pain. I cannot seem to find a shoe that works for me that I can wear all day long. If NB doesn't work for me, what will? I'm open to any readers of this review who may have some suggestions for me that might work. That said, Zappos is still the best shoe business out there and I have no issues with their service at all. They are the best. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: None at this time. 2008-06-30 12:52:24 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: from San Francisco East Bay Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoes! I had just gotten back from the podiatrist with diagnosis of several foot problems mortons neuroma, falling arch, and pronation - and went through the recommendations on the New Balance shoe and found that the WW926 made from the SL-2 last would be helpful for all three of those problems. SO I ordered. Typically I have had trouble finding my size shoes in comfortable styles locally, so didn't bother to even try local stores. Next day they arrived. Great shoes! Very good cushioning (firm yet gives a little). Supportive arch, nice wide toe box for the morton's problem, and a very nice fitting snug heel. They also have a nice roll forward effect when you walk that keeps your foot in line without rolling side to side. They are a bit heavy looking as I have big feet (size 41), but look like they will last a long time. If I don't look at my feet when I walk though, I think that I'm in heaven. Zappos phone help was very helpful, I will order again when I can save up to buy another pair. Fast delivery - express at no extra charge was wonderful. Thank you!

Feels truer to size than previous New Balance shoes owned - I ordered the usual half size up & wider, but probably would have preferred my "normal" size (will wear with heavier sox). Lots of cushion for pavement or paths, but not a "country" walking shoe (not a lot of traction). 2008-06-30 06:51:08 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support This is a good, stable walking shoe. The width is true to size; I bought a double wide and it was perfect from the first day. The length is a bit short. While I generally wear an 8.5 double wide in that length, my toe hit the shoe, so I returned it for the 9 double wide. That is great. Zappos is a wonderful company. 2008-06-28 11:57:07 New Balance WW926 Reviewer: from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Disappointed - Let me begin by saying I have terrible feet and I have had problems with my feet for about 5 years. After walking in these shoes for one hour I was in pain, my left foot did not have enough of an arch support and my right foot had metatarsal pain. New Balance makes good shoes, I just have very bad feet. If you have problem feet, I would not recommend these.
