I "fell" into buying these shoes when I couldn't find the discontinued 1011 New Balance Motion Control for a decent price in my size. These were special at Amazon, and I decided to try them. I am so happy I did. They have lasted me twice as long as the 1011 and the support is still there. I had foot surgery for a bunion and now have to wear motion control shoes. My feet never feel fatigued wearing these, they are highly recommended for anyone needing exceptional support.

I have major foot ailments: a stress fracture, custom orthodics, flat feet (2E) and bunions. I've tried many brands, but New Balance is the only one that really works for me. 2E is too wide for me in New Balance, so I take their D.
I had the WR1012 and was disappointed to hear it's discontinued. It was the only shoe that didn't give me blisters when I was breaking them in. It was also very light.
I bought the W1140 after reading the product description. I am not a heavy-set person, but do pound hard with my flat feet and stress fracture. W1140 is a light shoe with lots of stability. The grey color is good but I wish they didn't put the pink and purple. Not sure why designers all think women like pink/purple shoes.
The toe box is very wide, which is good for my 2E width.
I wear 6 normally, but buy 6.5 New Balance. I learned it gives me extra comfort without sacrificing stability.
Laces are not the jagged ones that New Balance offers, but these laces stay in place. It's long too, so I can still tie them well with my wide feet.
Best Deals on New Balance Women's W1140 Optimal Control Running Shoe
Great shoe, glad it comes in gray rather than ever present white. This is the same last as several other New Balance shoes that I have had but the collar is so padded that it pushes your foot forward requiring a larger size.
Honest reviews on New Balance Women's W1140 Optimal Control Running Shoe
Great shoe. Comfortable and very attractive looking. New Balance hold up well and these are no exception. I am on my feet sometimes 10 hours a day and I never feel foot pain when wearing these. I am not a runner, so I cannot comment on their actual designed-for use...running. But I will say that they are five star standing and walking shoes!

I received these quite quickly and I really, really like them. The motion control is everything I was hoping for, even adding strength to my legs. If you have severely flat feet, sometimes it is hard to find leg strength to go from a squat to a stand because of the over-pronation. If you have over-pronation problems, you do not have a steady platform upon which to stand, but these shoes certainly give you that platfom. I have not run in these and I won't, but walking comfortably has sure been made easier. I have some "heavy-duty" orthotics and these feel quite comfortable in the shoe once you remove the shoe's insert. I would recommend that you take 2 or 3 days getting used to the shoe. I wore them for 1 hour the first day; 2 hours on the second; and by the 3rd day I wore them for several hours. It's not that they are uncomfortable, but the motion control and shoe shape are different than the less expensive shoes I have been wearing. And speaking of expense, at less than $125 a pair, these shoes are worth every penny for comfort and functionality. I am buying an extra pair because I don't want to find myself without a comfortable pair of walking shoes again.
