Excellent running shoes. but used, NOT new.

I bought these for my son. Unfortunately, we only took them out of the packaging after the 30-day return period had expired. They were clearly used. No tags, laces are untied, sole is not clean. Someone tried them on, walked around the house or slightly on the street and returned them. When you pay $120 for a pair of sneakers, you expect brand new, unworn shoes. Now we're in those shoes and we feel betrayed. I'm very disappointed that Revane is allowing this to happen.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Hard to say

Better than version 3!

I have been running in NB 840V3 (version 3) shoes for two years. My previous experience with the new version of the shoe, which I like, has been disappointing. So I was skeptical on my first run when I laced up the NB 840V4. As it turned out, they were AWESOME! They even felt better than the V3. Assuming it was just a 3 mile run. I'll have to try longer runs to see how they really work. Note: I have a wide forefoot and narrow heel. I'm a neutral runner. I had trouble finding shoes that fit meโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • I have problems

Great for heavy people!

Bought for my husband who is as heavy as me. He took out the insole and put in the gel sole, and now He's walking on the cloud! The best sneakers we found for overweight people. I wish they were a little cheaper so we could buy more than one pair at a time but they are definitely worth the money!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Crumpled

Great fit, comfortable shoes

After visiting the New Balance store in Philadelphia and getting advice on what shoes to wear, I settled on the 840 series. The last 3 of these were 840v3 so when I saw the 840v4 I knew I had it had to try. Love the updated look and the fit is still okay. Worn them the day after receiving them and had no problems, comfortable shoes for my daily walks. I know these are running shoes but for me this is my everyday shoe, light and comfortable for a long day.

Pros
  • comfortable article
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Great shoes but not durable

I wear orthotics and bought these shoes on the recommendation of my orthopedist. In general, I really like the series. It fits my orthotics and has one of the biggest toes I've ever seen in a shoe. It's also quite stylish and not very expensive. The only downside is that the soles on the front wear out much quicker than I expected. My last pair only lasted 4 months. I walk my dog a lot, but I don't walk enough to see dresses like this. This can be the cost of comfortable shoes that fit myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not bad but...

The soul wears out too quickly

I've been running in them since March and have only put about 165 miles in them and the soul in the heel wears out so fast the rubber is gone and it's almost rubbed a hole in the midsole. Now, it should be noted that while I run in heavy heels (and I'm not a tall person), I've never had a shoe wear out over those few miles. I thought I would buy a heavier shoe with a thicker sole but I am very disappointed in the durability of the sole. I will have to look elsewhere for my next running shoe. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • I keep my knuckles
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Great Runner: Men's

These are my 5th generation New Balance running shoes. I weigh 220 pounds and run 10+ miles and these shoes are my brand. They are roomy in a toe box which I like because I have bursitis. I order 1/2 size larger than my dress shoes so my feet can swim. These are great shoes if you wear orthotics as they are neutral.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Appearance

Cheaper shoes

I've been wearing NB shoes for a long time. My previous shoes, the 840 V3, were discontinued so I went with these. A different fit is evident, oversized in the forefoot compared to the exact same size in the previous shoe. NB have also taken some cheaper steps like removing the lace holder between the two bottom eyelets, removing the outer reinforcement on the lace eyelets and who knows what I'm missing. In general, the material has more plastic, less fabric. I would look at them in hand before

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • A few cons

Great shoe, cushioning and support

The New Balance 840 V4 Men's Shoe is a great shoe that offers cushioning and support. I first bought an NB 880 with foam padding. The 880s were like walking on cloud, which is good, but they offered poor support and my legs tended to wobble back and forth with every step. This led to tension in the legs and feet. So I tried the NB 940 and it offered great support but little cushioning. The NB 840 V4 was a great compromise for me. They offered good cushioning, better than the 940s, but alsoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Finally purchased
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
