- Is the New Balance 813 good for wide feet?
- Yes. It comes in a wide fit with a roomy toe box, and owners with bunions or wide forefeet often say it fits without pinching.
- Does the 813 have laces?
- No. It uses hook-and-loop straps instead of laces, which makes it easier to put on and adjust, especially for people with arthritis or limited hand strength.
- Is it good for long walks?
- It is better for short walks, errands and standing. The firm foam midsole and heavier build suit casual use more than long-distance walking.
- How does it compare with the New Balance 577?
- The 577 is a laced leather walker with a more traditional fit. The 813 trades laces for straps and a wider, easier fit, but is heavier and less cushioned.
- Can men and women both wear it?
- Yes. The 813 is sold as a unisex shoe, so men and women can wear the same sizing.
- What is the upper made of?
- The upper is leather, which is durable and easy to wipe clean but less breathable than mesh or knit.
- Where is the New Balance 813 Walking Shoes cheapest?
- At Shop Simon, for $58.00, as of our latest check.
