 NB MR859 Jun 14, 2010
Shoes came very quickly, and fit well. I need 13EE, but some shoes run much smaller. NB seem to always work for me. Shoes are well made. I would prefer the NB 621s, an all-leather shoe, but they have not offered that model for some time. As I understand the NB numbering system, more expensive models have higher numbers. The MR859 model is good looking and comes in several colors. I found the orange/silver appealed to me. Orange is popular at the moment. For the most part, I just need comfortable shoes for walking and bike riding, so these do nicely for those limited activities. I generally use my older shoes for yard work. That means my trusty 621s are still in use after many years of great service. I doubt the new shoes will last nearly as long, but so it goes. What does?

Best shoes I've ever worn Nov 29, 2009
I can't run due to foot issues, but I work out every day for an hour or two at the gym, and at least 30 to 45 minutes is spent on the cardio machines. Every other month or so for the past several years I've had to stop the cardio workouts due to debilitating foot pain near the balls and arches of my feet that can last for weeks.
I always loved New Balance because it seems to be the only brand that fits me well. But I never understood the numbering system for each shoe model, and I don't think I've ever had a pair above 600. I bought these shoes from a department store clearance outlet several months ago, and what a revelation they are!
Now I understand that the higher the model number, the more advanced the shoe. After researching this further on the internet, it appears that when you get above the 800 level numbers, the quality of the shoe takes a huge leap, and so does the price. But you get what you pay for. While the lower model numbers aren't bad shoes, the higher numbered models incorporate greater and greater technology to add stability, support, cushioning, and durability while at the same time making them lighter. And with my touchy feet, I need all the shoe technology I can get!
In the several months I've owned these, my foot pain flare-ups have almost completely disappeared. Now I'm looking forward to trying out other high end New Balance models.
Great Shoes! Not so great service from "Shoes on the Web" Jul 10, 2009
I love the shoes! This is my second pair of New Balance MR 859. I have flat feet and I over pronate so finding a shoe that solves both issues is not an easy job, but this shoes does it! The service I reiceved from "Shoes on the Web" was disappointing. My shoes took 28 days to be delivered. They said it was because my shoes were returned to them from Canadian customs but they didnt advise me of this until I emailed them to see what the delay was. They offered no compensation in any way for the inconvenience and literally just said "we can't control the post office". I would buy these shoes again in an instant but I wouldnt buy from "Shoes on the Web".
 Good Quality Poor Fit Jun 15, 2009
I run four to six miles per day and having been wearing New Balance shoes for years. I haven't found any other brand that works as well for me. The price on these shoes was excellent; the quality is excellent; however, the fit is not consistent with previous New Balance models--the toe fit is shorter and wider than the 768 series (I have three pairs of these.) and the earlier 765 and 766. Additionally, I can feel what appears to be the gaps in the tread through the soles of the shoe, giving the impression that my feet are not on a uniform platform of support. While I have only worn them once, at this point in my experience, I am reluctant to recommend them, despite the great price.

Great shoes for those with flat feet Jun 04, 2009
Interested in getting some shoes to help you with your flat feet and over-pronating? These are the shoes for you. These shoes are perfect for the gym or for running outside.
