A black show with non-flashy lines, the MW811 doubles as a casual work shoe: No need to bring two pairs of shoes to work on walking days! While I prefer the features of the 843, this model has that dual function, and doesn't cost as much either. It has a removable orthotic "footbed," so that you can put in your own customized orthotics. I have fairly narrow feet, and the D was a little wide; however, the B with the orthotic doesn;t leave enough room. (If it doesn't break in right, I'll sometimes add some adhesive shoe strips to the tongue or heel. I know, TMI.) Since New Balance shoes have worked for me in the past (maybe 15-20 years?), I like to go with this brand: They've worked well for me in the past, they're durable, and, while not the look can get a little boring at times, they're not trendy either.
Features.
>"Vegetarian." No leather materials used in construction.
>Designed especially for walking, it has a Graphite Rollbar® with TPU & lateral post for rearfoot stability.
>Single Density Polyurethane midsole/outsole for lightweight cushioning that resists compression.
>TPU Walking Strike Path Outsole stabilizes the foot through the walking gait cycle.
>It's not light like a running shoe, but it has a comfortable weight: 14.1 oz.
Along with these techie features, the best thing about these shoes is their easy transition from the office hallway to the outdoors. Newbalance.com explains their shoe terminology, and offers some product comparison.

My husband tried these on at New Balance store. Their price almost half again as Amazon price. Great fit. Comfortable. I own the ladies version. Love them too.

AMAZON had both the color and the price wrong OnLine. Gotta watch the Big "A" closely!

These are the best shoes I've ever owned! Comfortable, stable and protective.
Cushioning is just right without feeling squishy or giving up stability. The shoes do a good job of protecting my feet from stone bruises without the disconnected feeling you sometimes get.
I'm tall (6'2") and heavy (300lbs) and on my feet all day (college instructor) plus evening walks with the dog, and I never need to take these shoes off. Like so many, I'm also diabetic with some numbness and neuropathy in my feet, and these shoes are just great. Other shoes that seemed good raised blisters I didn't find until later, but these remain comfortable and safe.
These are in black, and I'm already planning for a pair of brown as soon as another pair is ready for retirement.
