Women's New Balance 1012

Comments about Womens New Balance 1012 Running Shoe:

I am nurse and I wear these for work (on feet 12+ hours/day). I had debilitating plantar fascitis caused by a collapsing arch and over pronation. I changed to these shoes and was fitted with an OTC orthotic. The standard footbed removes easily to allow for orthotic placement. This has completely healed my plantar fascia. I can go all day and my feet always feel great. It is so close to miraculous that I ordered another pair so I am ready when this pair wears out.

I typically wear a 7.5 but I wear an 8 in this shoe. I have wide "Flintstone Feet" but the D width is true to width, with great space in the toe box.

No two people are alike, so these may not be the right shoe for you, but they are perfect for me.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1012 Running Shoe:

I have always had horribly flat feet, and never had a shoe that took away the pain entirely, even with orthotics. I can happily say that a few days ago I walked all day for the first time with absolutely no pain, thanks to these incredible shoes. I no longer have the same old struggles with pronation, and wear these shoes for workouts, long walks, around the house; in general, everywhere I can! They are light with a mesh that breathes well (so no sweaty feet after a workout!) and the fit is perfect, adjusting to snug in around the middle of my foot and a nice wide toe box so my toes have room to move. My only complaint was it took me several "test runs" to get the laces and midsection adjusted just the way I wanted, but trial and error quickly solved that. I have already recommended this shoe to multiple friends and family members, and would recommend it to anyone else!

I think these shoes are comfortable!!! But it doesn't have enough support or a good stability as I wear orthotics that made my feet "go out" instead of keeping my feet straight. My ankles hurt a lot when my feet are not straight while running, walking, etc. I require a lot of support, cushioning, stability (pronation control) since I have very flat and flexible feet, unfortunately. I think these are the wrong shoes for those who have very flexible, flat feet and need pronation control shoes.

The best pair of running shoes I have owned in a long time, I would liken walking in the shoes the first time to laying my head in that big fluffy pillow at the four seasons hotel!

I had foot surgery 18 months ago, & need surgery on the other foot, which I now wear an orthotic brace. The shoe fits very well with the bulky brace, is very comfortable, & looks sporty.

This is my third pair of this model. I am a dedicated New Balance fan with flat arches. Shoe is very comfortable and light given the amount of support. I found that it works best with the Road Runner cushion insoles.
The only (minor) demerit is the relatively high rate of wear when running on pavement. They wear well on the treadmill.

I like the room. I ordered a Wide and they have good room in the toes.

I've been a fan of the 1011 for years now and the 1012 is just as good. Yes, it's a heavier shoe than some other stability models, but if you have pronation problems like me and need something stable and solid, then you need this shoe. I never had any problems with IT Band issues while wearing the 1011, then when I switched to a different brand, I had significant issues. When I switched back to my New Balance, the problem resolved. It's not a highly cushioned shoe, but it's a sturdy one. I will definitely keep the 1012 in my rotation.

These accommodate my orthotics and the combination is not brick like but very supportive. I've had a lot of trouble with bunion pain and since switching to these, pain is greatly improved.

I'm about 5'4 and weigh 160 lbs so I'm on the heavy side but run about 25 miles a week. I've been in the lookout for a good running shoe and was professional fitted for shoes with MC due to my flat feet and constant toe injuries. This shoe is comfortable but not good for running. They feel like bricks on my feet and I'm so sore the next day that I have to make it an easy run. I'm sending them back and try for something lighter. Also order your size although it states to order up they run big.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1012 Running Shoe:

Shoe is very wide. Reccomended to me as a heavy runner but not all heavy runners have wide feet. Able to manage with an orthotic and thicker socks but still not a perfect fit. As a runner with flat feet would have liked more arch support. This shoe is a motion control shoe but if you are a supinator (roll out) and not a pronator (roll in) this shoe isn't the best option for you.

This says to buy a half size up, I bought my usual size and it was at least a full size too big.

After trying several different shoes after foot surgery, this one was the MOST comfortable.

I had knee surgery and needed a good shoe to help me because my foot turns inward.

I just love New Balance. They make the best shoe for someone with a low arch.

This shoe makes all the difference whether you are walking or running. It keeps your foot straight and feeling wonderful.

Never dreamed I would find the perfect shoe. The first shoe ever that allows more comfort while it's on than off.

I have used you before and was very happy and again I am happy. I would only ask for a variety of colors. I love the black and hot pink.

Bought shoe following rehab after bone graft and screw placement (on lt.) moderate to severe bunion on rt., foot always painful until now. Toebox is large, relieves pressure on my overlapping toes. Still unsure about benefit to lt. but I am only 1 wk out of cast.
