Rated 1 out of 5 by JSS1 Too narrow and now too small - Order wider/larger!
I received them and they were too narrow even though they were EE width and returned them from EE to EEEE width. Now they are too small (big toes pain ). I will plan to return them for larger size again because I like the color and design shoes for work. Be aware is that their size charts of width and size are wrong!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jimmy267 Not Good
Like some other reviewers have said, the size is so far off the mark I would not recommend these to anybody. I have worn New Balance for almost 20 years and really thought I knew my size with them. For these, i went up 1/2 size like they said. They were WAY too small, so I returned them and went up a full size and they were still too small. Had them streteched at a shoe shop rather than return again. Now, they barely fit but I noticed a split developing on the side. They are just really tight in the toe area. I'll get a little use out of them I guess. Buyer beware.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SoCal444 Order wider
As several other reviewers have said, this shoe runs very narrow and somewhat short. I'm changing from D to EE width. Definitely order one step wider than normal for the country walking shoes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BigAl4 NB 959 seemed to be narrow.
My NB 959 seemed to be a tad narrow compared to my other NB of the same size. I've decided to wear them to "break in" and see if that helps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 69skeets OUT OF THE BOX COMFORT!
These shoes are out of the box comfortable. I had ordered Rockport walkers but they were out of the box stiff! LL Bean is so customer friendly and knowledgeable. When I called to return the Rockports, I asked the representative if I was out of options given my wide width and budget to spend. He directed me to this shoe and he was spot on! They are well constructed yet soft and flexible! Money well spent. Order 1/2 size bigger and wider than normal for this shoe!!! I have nothing but good things to say about on line ordering and service you get from LL Bean!

Rated 3 out of 5 by xlxl not wide enough
I have had trouble with New Balance shoes not being wide enough, even though they used to be. I even went up 1/2 size on these shoes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by wstull1 Walking on Pillows
These shoes are extraordinary. Make sure you order one half size larger than usual. I also ordered a wide. It fit perfectly. It's like walking on pillows. I got them to replace some work casual shoes for work. They are great and I might get another pair.

Rated 5 out of 5 New Balance makes great shoes
This is my third great pair of New Balance shoes. They were instantly comfortable, and they support me quite well. I followed advice and ordered a half size higher.

Rated 4 out of 5 Very Nice
They fit great and there was no "breaking in" time, put them on and went for a 5 mile walk to town.
