Arch Support
Customers have mixed opinions on the arch support of New Balance Men's MW978 shoes. While some customers found the shoes to provide excellent arch support and relief from foot pain, others mentioned that they had to replace or add insoles for better support. Some customers with wide feet and specific foot conditions like hammertoes and bunions have reported positive experiences with the shoes. Overall, the majority of customers are satisfied with the comfort and durability of the shoes despite some issues with the insole quality and fit.
Size Availability
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the size availability of New Balance Men's MW978. While some are grateful for the narrow width option that is hard to find, others find the shoes to run small and ill-fitting, causing frustration in their search for a proper fit.
Durability
Customers have expressed mixed opinions regarding the durability of New Balance Men's MW978 shoes. While some customers have reported that their shoes are waterproof and have lasted for several years, others have experienced issues with stitching failure and sole separation within less than a year.
Highlights
Quality
Excellent traction sole (but see note below), good heavy leather, waterproof membrane, comfortable.
Wear the shoes several days a week and they feel good.
Bought new balance for over a decade, bought at least one pair of this model for years, lately multiple pairs a year.
I can never find this shoe in a 10 wide at a brick and mortar.
Price
Cheaper price then at the store and in stock.
Shipping
Amazon came through with the last two in stock!
Competitiveness
One of the few shoe manufacturers that sell narrow width which is very hard to find.
