- Is the New Balance 840v1 good for all-day walking?
- Yes. The Fresh Foam X midsole and cork insole give a cushioned, stable ride that suits long walks and standing shifts. It is heavier than mesh walkers, so keep that in mind if you cover a lot of ground.
- Does the 840v1 run true to size?
- Most buyers take their usual New Balance size. If you are between sizes or wear thick socks, consider going up half a size, and use the wide or extra-wide option for broad feet.
- Is it actually waterproof?
- The leather and mesh upper is built to keep water out in rain and puddles. It is not a fully sealed boot, so deep water can still get in over the collar.
- Can I run in the 840v1?
- It is a walking shoe. The 4 mm drop and firm cork insole are tuned for walking, and at 9.3 oz it is heavier than most running shoes.
- How does it compare with the mesh 840?
- The leather version adds weather protection and a more structured fit but weighs more and runs warmer. Choose mesh for hot, dry climates and leather for wet or cool conditions.
