I have extremely wide feet and have always had difficulty finding quality hiking boots that were comfortable. The 1500's are bar none the best shoe I have ever owned - they're like slippers with great support; use them in all types of weather and terrain and just wonderfully comfortable.

I have worn New Balance 4E width shoes for many years and have always loved their products, so when I found out they made a wide width hiking boot I was extremely happy. I wear a size 10.5 shoe with a 4E width, and boots are hard to find. When the boots arrived they felt fine until I did a 10 mile hike in Florida sugar sand. The right boot felt tight and unfortunately the left boot was killing my foot since the width was too small. Since I had purchased the boots online and had no time to return them since I was leaving for a week hike on the Appalachian Trail in the Smokey Mountains, I took the boots to a shoe store and had them stretched two times, During my hike I was still in extreme pain with my left foot and eventually ended up walking without it the last day. New Balance please contact me if there is anything that can be done for a long time customer since I’m planning another hike soon.
