After wearing several running shoes, I found the New Balance 1012 for women to be the best for my orthotics. These are the best shoes! The toe is square enough with plenty of room in the toe box so it doesn’t rub against my hammertoe. The soles are not soft, but my knees feel better than before since I started wearing this shoe. In general, they are excellent for people with knee problems.
An updated version of New Balance WR1011
This shoe is the new updated version of NB WR1011. For this reason, New Balance SL-2 still makes the WR1012 last. I will only wear New Balance for that last one, which fits me perfectly in terms of its great support for my narrow heels, flat feet. That’s why I could walk in them forever. If you got these after trying other brands, you would feel that they seem a bit stiff. But, after 30 days on your treadmill 6 miles a day, you might find that they haven’t loosened up.
They are perfect for severe pronators like my sister Betty.
I know this shoe is a bit pricey however they are perfect for severe pronators like my sister Betty. The old NB 1010 model, my sister’s favorite style, was finally retired, while the 1012 popped up to perfection in its place. They fit great, are true to size and hardly break over time. Well worth your money. She pronates, so the sway bars are fabulous. These are by far the most comfortable shoes she has ever owned.
My sister has been wearing New Balance sneakers for the last 8 years. She said these are definitely the best she’s ever had as the support is amazing and the fit is perfect. In fact, once she starts wearing NB shoes, she will never switch to another brand. She has also been dealing with her own knee problems for nearly 20 years and has tried numerous different shoes and orthotics. While the knee pain doesn’t go away, her knee feels much more stable in the WR1012s. She also highly recommends them.
Maybe a little loose at the heel, but why not try re-tying them?
If you’re a loyal New Balance customer and not unexpectedly, you’ll find another New Balance sneaker you love. This shoe was an excellent fit for long and wide feet. Maybe a little loose at the heel, but why not try re-tying them? You may find that they were great after trying them on a six-mile hike.
