Men's Made in Us 1540 V2-Running Shoe

Update 2/17/19: Well over a year later, I'm here to purchase my second pair. My heel pain had been down to zero for a long time, but it's beginning to return. I'm hoping it's because these are very worn out...as expected with a year and some odd months of daily use (walking, not running, see below). Actually I'm impressed they lasted this long (although most would have tossed them before now - I'm a cheap spender :) . Still wonder why they cost so much, but for the lack of pain worth every cent. To this day, they are the ONLY remedy I found for my plantar fasciitis and I have needed no other products or treatments. Crossing my fingers this new pair will do the same againOriginal late 2017:I`m not a runner, quite the opposite. While researching plantar fasciitis, I came across a recommendation for these. I was hesitant to spend this much, but desperate with pain (even after trying several other shoes, inserts, exercises, stretching, everything). I`m in no way advocating they will work for everyone, but they have been a godsend for me. I can't believe how much better my affected foot is, almost immediately. Just days later my heel pain is 1/10 from before. I`m no New Balance fanboy, but I do have a new appreciation for this model!

I have two pairs of these shoes; one white, one black. They seem to run about a half size large, but I have come to expect sizing issues from just about every shoe company because I have larger than average (U.S. size 16) feet. While these shoes won't help you win any fashion awards, they aren't bad looking. Personally, I think the black ones have a slight advantage in the looks department, as they lack the bright blue rubber inlay that the white pair sport.As an elementary teacher, I spend about nine hours a day on my feet, and my entire school building is floored in decorative concrete. I suffer from gout and plantar fasciitis, and, as such, I have spent a lot of time and money trying to find the perfect shoe and/or insert to alleviate the pain of spending 40+ hours a week on what is literally a rock-hard surface. These shoes aren't perfect, but they are the best thing I have found so far. I still have near constant foot and knee pain, but it is bearable, and my feet don't swell nearly as much or as often as they did in any other shoe/insert combination I have tried. Additionally, I can take normal strides without having to put my feet down gingerly on the concrete floor.Aside from the sizing issue I really have only two complaints about these shoes. The first is that the tongue is slightly too short, so that if you want to lace them all the way to the top you will have the shoelace slipping over the tongue and digging into your foot. I avoid the issue by lacing mine to the second-to-last eyelet. My second complaint is that, after about a year of daily use, the insoles in the black pair have started to dissolve (presumably from sweat). They are however replaceable, and the rest of the shoe still looks nearly new.If you have gout in your feet, and especially if you have plantar fasciitis I recommend that you try these shoes. If you don't have foot problems, but you spend a lot of time on a hard surface, wearing these shoes might help you avoid painful foot issues somewhere down the line.

As a person who is carrying extra weight and ambitiously working to lose the pounds, I found that regular sneakers cause my feet to ache and are causing immense pain that is similar to plantar fasciitis. I bought inserts and they lessen the blows, but it wasn’t enough.I found these on amazon and while they cost way more than what I normally spent on a basic pair of sneakers, these have so much more support. The difference is felt as soon as you put these on or pick them up. I did buy arch supports because they are working too, but these sneakers take a pounding and are super comfortable. The worst part is the break in period. Your foot, I’d like mine, will feel awkward because it actually has support and things will realign. A pulsating / throb I had in my knees went away after a few days. The only thing that changed was the support. Previous to these I was using another brand with memory foam that were super light weight. I figured light shoes, less stress. I was wrong. You need real shoes and support.I have officially logged over 500 walking miles (exercise) on these and wear them everyday for work. Just starting to show some wear on the heels. I’m ordering a new set today.The few extra dollars that a set of quality sneakers cost will never be an issue when you can actually walk pain free. I’d recommend them again and am ordering another set now!

I went to a New Balance Store to try these on before purchasing, so I knew what size and width I needed before ordering on Amazon.They have a rollbar which has truly cut down on the amount of times my ankle rolls. I have "c-shaped feet" and have had surgery on my Ankle so my right ankle rolls often. However with the rollbar in these shoes I do not have the issue nearly as often (or at all).The color of this pair is good- black and grey- what's not to like about black and grey???I have worn these to work out and to work and they are very comfortable.I wear 2E shoes and these fit perfectly. My ankle doesn't roll and they are comfortable. New Balance Men's M1540V2 Optimum Control Running Shoe, Black, 9 2E US

I've worn New Balance for years, this is the first pair I've worn that fell apart after a couple months of wear. Leather coming off from the nylon and a hole in the back of the shoe. Will never buy these online again.

I am 55 years old, in very good shape. As a UPS driver, I walk a very fast pace.These shoes changed my body. I did the Costco Dr. Scholls machine for Ultimate Performance.My feet feel great. No more Overheated Feet.

I always buy these shoes because they are the perfect shoe for my wide feet. Sturdy and comfortable, they are a strong construction that gives me the support I need. I wear them daily until they wear out, and then buy another pair. They are the perfect shoe for wide footed walkers like me.
