Look:Shoe Size: Felt a full size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Definitely fits smaller in length, big toe pushed against front of shoe, narrow in toe box, top of shoe pinches big toe, and side of shoe squishes pinky toe. I tested several and this shoe (along with the NB WR858) were the worst in terms of cushion, comfort, and fit. Least to best after New Balance, and all rated as neutral or underpronator running shoes, are Saucony Grid Cohesion NX W, Saucony Progrid Jazz 12, Adidas Duramo W, Adidas Supernova Cushion 7W, Nike Pegasus 25, Mizuno WaveRider 11, and most comfortable, cushioned shoe of all, Asics Gel Nimbus 10. Each of these shoes may have their pros and cons about breathability, durability, and looks, but in terms of comfort and cushion, at least 6 other women trying these shoes agreed. (I hosted a running shoe, “fit-test” party.) Some differed in whether or not the New Balance or the Saucony were better, but everyone agreed that of all the brands, these two were the least cushioned. Main problem with the Asics Gel Nimbus is that it runs narrow, so many preferred the Mizuno WaveRider 11, even though it was a bit less cushioned than the Asics. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Mizuno WaveRider 11 and Asics Gel Nimbus 10 2008-09-17 06:49:31 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: from Arlington, VA Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Wonderful shoes to relieve back pain! These shoes are absolutely wonderful. I have back problems from being rear-ended in a car accident and these shoes relieve the pain in my back from tiredness when I have to walk for a long time. This shoe does run small, but New Balance sneakers are all about a 1/2 size small consistently from style to style. 2008-08-29 09:36:32 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: Geno from Colorado mtns. Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support NB - This shoe is very light weight. It didn't hurt my feet after walking 4 miles. You just have to wear the right pair of socks. 2008-08-23 16:54:29 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: Eileen from Florida Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Light as a feather! This is an awesome lightweight shoe! There is still plenty of support even though the shoe is as light as a feather. It is not heavy and cumbersome like some athletic shoes. I walk 6 miles 6 days a week in them, and I'm very happy with their performance. The color (blue/green) is very cool! It does seem to run a bit small, so you should consider ordering a half size larger than usual. I ordered this shoe as an exchange for one I absolutely did not like, and Zappos was tremendous through the whole return process. I received the replacements the next day! I won't buy shoes anywhere else! 2008-08-21 05:41:32 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: Bonnie from Melrose, NY Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Good Pair of sneakers! I purchased these sneakers because I've just started a weight loss program with a gym. I am very overweight and have wide feet. I normally take a 10.5 wide but that was not available so I got an 11 wide. They are a bit big, I wish I had the 10.5 wide but they look great, are very comfortable and light, my feet are well ventilated. I would definitely recommend purchasing these, especially for high impact running like myself. They take a good beating from me on the treadmill and keep on tickin'! :) Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Any New Balance if you have wide feet, they are the roomiest! 2008-08-12 17:04:52 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: Kathy A from New York Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support New Balance WR805 - These sneakers are the most awesome, versatile sneakers I have bought in a long time. The fit is perfect & true to size. They were extremely comfortable & supportive as soon as I put them on & remained so for the 2 1/2 hours I was wearing them!! I wear them for kick boxing, walking, pilates, weight training. I love them! 2008-08-08 21:26:38 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: Karen Z from Milford, PA Overall:

Look: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Comfy sneaker but too flashy - I had recently gotten a pair of NB WR805s; I tried them on and they were very comfortable but I just couldn’t get past the flashiness of them, they were way too silver; you can’t see it in the picture but the inside of the "N" and the front and sides also have silver; TOO BAD because they were comfortable. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Adidas, Saucony. 2008-07-26 16:34:44 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: from Maine Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support These shoes are great - great fit – lightweight and the new midsole support really helps me with form when walking - yes - I use them for walking even though they are running shoes -- I have decreased my walking time per mile more than a minute in less than a month! 2008-07-19 07:18:59 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: Amy W from Hebron, KY Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great shoes - I have a wide foot and I am recovering from a bunion surgery - these shoes in wide are a perfect fit with room for my orthotics. 2008-07-15 08:57:28 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: Tarah H from Ann Arbor, Michigan Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Comfortable cross-trainers - I bought these shoes about a month ago for daily exercise and kick boxing and they have been working out greatly. They are like no other shoe I have worn-they are so light weight that it doesn't feel like I have shoes on at all, which is important with my kicking and such so it does not weight down my ankles and such. I did have some problems with inner foot support (bi-lateral medial tendons) but I have worked with the shoes over the last few weeks to work out the problem. I will definitely buy these shoes again as soon as they wear out that is! Great shoe! Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Any other type of New Balance-they are great with weak, problematic feet and ankle; they are the only brand I can wear. 2008-07-12 10:24:53 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: Luciana Overall:

They are very light and comfortable and they even let a nice cool breeze come thru the shoe. 2008-07-09 09:07:43 New Balance WR805 Reviewer: Alison from Binghamton, NY Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Surprisingly great! Usually buy a wide-width New Balance sneaker for the roomy toe-box. Bought this one in B width and it's perfect. Comfortable and lightweight. My feet are two different sizes, but this shoe works well for both.

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Comfy and Cute - I purchased this shoe for Jazzercise and they are perfect. They are extremely light weight and do not cause my foot any pain. They are very very cute as well. I have the silver and red pair and I am going to purchase them in white and blue. I did not purchase my first pair from Zappos (very bad of me) and the sales lady said they run small size wise and run tight in the toe box. For me I got the 8 1/2 (usually wear an 8) and the toe box did not bother my toes and I do have a wide foot (usually get a medium width shoe). If you are looking for a cute workout shoe that is lightweight get this one! You will not be sorry. Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Nike, Nine West, RSVP, Cole Haan, Via Spiga, Steve Madden, and lots others Top
