Love the product options and the retail stores, but the website lacks a certain ease of searching. Maybe more filtering options?

Best NB shoe
May 25, 2025
Updated review

My husband had a very bad ankle injury. He had been laid up a long time and was wearing a "boot" but wanted to try walking without it. He had been wearing another shoe for some time, MBT's.
I had been wearing my 1540's for ankle problems and support so I suggested he go back to an old 1540 that he had.
He noticed relief and decided to use them for healing. He ordered a new pair: 1540 V 3 and is walking and still healing. He likes this shoe very much. I have a pair also. Would recommend to anyone that needs comfort and pronation support.
Do not like the 1540 V. 4 as it does not feel as supportive with the foam that has been added, similar to Hokas. Hope New Balance goes back to the same construction or better of the 1540 V. 3 in new productions.
