Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great fitting shoe - My 9 year old has wide feet and really over-pronates. I have been careful to buy wide shoes for years but now I can't find much locally (even in San Francisco, believe it or not). I was surprised to find the gait control suggestions and bought a pair that matched his needs. He told me they were the best shoe he has ever had and will even choose to wear them instead of his (cool but zero-support) Vans. The fit was great and the shipping was incredibly fast. We'll be back to shop again in about 4-6 months! 2008-07-16 08:57:36 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: Ross from Kentucky Overall:

Look: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Not a very good shoe - I wore Nike narrow sneakers for a long time but decided to try these and have regretted it. The shoes, despite being labeled as narrow, are not narrow, by any stretch, and the sizing is a half size too short. And indeed the shoe strings are too long for a narrow shoe. I'm going back to Nike and I guess these will become my grass mowing shoes.

I bought this shoe for the police academy and it can take some abuse. Its stable and my orthodics fit nicely as well. 2008-06-29 13:39:58 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: John B from Virginia Overall:

First pair of shoes that my feet don't hurt at the end of day. I have a high arch and the support in this shoe really makes the difference. 2008-06-26 12:23:18 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: Ted S Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support The best running shoe I have ever owned - First pair (green/blue/silver) came from a New Balance store for proper fit (half size larger than my normal size). When I saw this solid black version from Zappos, I had to have it. Now I wear my attractive "stealth" black running shoes to work and no one is the wiser to it! Fantastic support, great fit (highly adjustable with the N-Lock), no pain, no blisters, and the best stability shoe I have ever worn. The fact that they are so breathable means no wet, sweaty feet at the end of the walk/jog (also use a stay-dry wicking sock). I highly recommend Zappos – with their free shipping option, I received the shoes the next day! Now that is service!!! 2008-06-16 16:30:51 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: from PA Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Shoes made my feet hurt so bad I had to walk with a cane - These shoes make my feet hit the floor flat rather than the expected roll of a walking shoe. Like a dummy I thought it was everything else other than the shoes. I never had a problem with shoes like this before and I was baffled. I went back to my old shoes and the pain went away, surprise!

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support I needed a shoe that would not hurt my feet. I have worn New Balance shoes for many years and when my doctor said I needed a good support shoe, I asked where he rated New Balance, "One of the best". Make sure it has stability. I chose this style hoping that it would have lots of cushion. Its ok, but I will look harder next time for more cushion. 2008-05-24 20:58:10 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: Ron Z from Huntington Beach, California Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support New Balance MR858 - Great shoe - true to size. I am a big guy with Plantar Fasciitis so I need a good motion control shoe. It feels great. My only problem is when I insert the orthotics prescribed by my Podiatrist I get an annoying "shoe squeak". So if you need a great motion control shoe and you do not have orthotics, you will love this shoe.

Look:Plantar Fasciitis - My son wears this shoe because of foot problems. It was recommended by his doctor. It is an attractive shoe and comfortable for him. Service was great and shipping was wonderful. We thank Zappos and will use them once again. 2008-04-20 18:29:35 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: from West Caldwell, New Jersey Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Good for heavier runners - This is the running shoe for you. Nice support and ample cushioning. Good room in the toe box and not tight. Zappos has excellent customer service and it saves a lot of time and gas rather then running around to find the right shoe. Order 2, 3 or more pairs find the one that’s right and return the rest for a full refund no questions asked. I highly recommend this running shoe and Zappos. 2008-03-30 09:05:06 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: Mike T from Western Pennsylvania Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Too confining... I can never tell just by putting on a new pair of shoes and walking around the living room how they will ultimately feel. So I took a gamble when I received these shoes and went for a 7 mile walk. And I found that while the cushioning was adequate, the forefoot fit was terrible. They are too narrow and too low in the forefoot. Bottom line - when I finished my walk and took off the shoes I had a big toe and another toe that had turned black & blue just in the course of one walk. So I learned my lesson the hard way and I will probably go to the New Balance shoes that have the SL-2 lasts from now on. 2008-03-15 06:13:41 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: Saundra Z from Pella, Iowa Overall:

Look:Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Concern - The only problem with the shoe is the eyelets are made of a cloth thin material at the top and they broke after 3 weeks. But Zappos took care of me and with their return policy you can not go wrong. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: none yet 2008-02-29 09:57:01 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: from West Virginia Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width My 858s arrived within 24 hours, they fit perfectly and they helped me with problems I've been having over-pronating. They're good to run in (although I plan to try the 1123s and 587s in the future which have a roll bar on each side). Have a good day. 2008-02-04 09:30:15 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: from Seattle, Washington Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe - Just bought a second pair of these shoes, I like to alternate shoes often. I walk around 30-35 miles weekly, not counting running. These shoes are great, a little wider in the toe box than I am use to, but still a great shoe for the money. Of course Zappos is the best, order today get them tomorrow. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Mizuno Alchemy 6 or 7 2007-11-01 19:59:06 New Balance MR858 Reviewer: Anonymous Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Versatile, But a Running Shoe Fit - I wear a 14EE in NB X-Trainers and a 15D in most running shoes. I ordered both sizes because this shoe was referenced as a "trainer." Despite its semi-trainer styling, this shoe is sized like a running shoe, so I kept the 15s. The shoe itself has a great look in the solid black (very small amount of silver). Unlike most solid black shoes, this does not look like a "mailman" shoe because it has some very athletic styling features. As a PE teacher I try to buy shoes as versatile as possible. The MR858 isn't as cushy as other distance running shoes that I own and isn't as laterally stable as my X-trainers, but I'd consider it a comfortable multi-purpose shoe.

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Great Shoe - Saw the 858 at a local running shop but price was $109.99 plus tax, tried them on for right size, then went home and ordered them from Zappos on Tues. The shoes arrived the next day, I took them out of the box and went out for a short 2 mile run, shoes did great. They are a little wider in the toe box than other New Balance shoes I own. I also own the 857, but they have been beat up pretty good and look sad and need replaced, but will still use them. Great shoes, but like I said, a little wider in the toe box, you can't go wrong here. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Any New Balance Top
