This shoe is a favorite among serious walkers who are looking for stability and cushioning without sacrificing flexibility.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This shoe is built on New Balance&amp;amp;#39;s straight SL-2 last. This last is narrower in the heel, has a high instep, deep and wide toe box. It&amp;amp;#39;s good for those with &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/help-for-high-arches-3975558&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;high arches&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. It has a replaceable insole if you need to add your own custom orthotic.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Motion Control:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; For those with &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/am-i-an-overpronator-3436321&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;overpronation&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; problems, this shoe has a graphite rollbar, medial post and TPU post to correct your gait. New Balance designs the 847 with a walking strike path outsole which aims to correct the gait. If you have a neutral gait to begin with, this may be more correction than you need and the shoe may feel stiff.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Comfort: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;The seamless liner of this shoe is made with their lightning-dry fabric to wick away moisture, which can help &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/before-you-get-a-blister-3432494&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;7&amp;quot;&amp;gt;prevent blisters&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. The shoe uses Ortholite padding in the heel, collar, tongue and liner for cushioning.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Heavier walkers are well-supported with this model. The shoes are built with a rubber N-Durance outsole to give the shoe a longer lifespan.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The shoe has a 12 millimeter drop from heel to toe. Drop is a measure of how high the heel is relative to the toe. These shoes have a traditional amount of drop for a walking shoe, but not the minimal drop seen in many newer flat designs.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Lots of Sizes and Widths:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt; New Balance produces the 847 in narrow, normal, wide and extra-wide (A, B, D, E) for women and up to extra-extra wide for men to fit a variety of feet. Women&amp;amp;#39;s sizes are from 5 to 13 for the normal width. Men&amp;amp;#39;s sizes are 7-15 for the normal and wide widths.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Colors: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;This shoe is available in muted colors. white, black, and silver/gray. I like having a black shoe to wear for travel or at work and school. It doesn&amp;amp;#39;t come in any fashion colors.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Bottom Line: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;This 847 is a good choice for health walking and for an everyday walking shoe for those who want stability.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a data-button=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://www.amazon.com/s/ref&amp;amp;#61;sr_nr_p_89_0?fst&amp;amp;#61;as%3Aoff&amp;amp;amp;rh&amp;amp;#61;n%3A7141123011%2Ck%3Anew&amp;amp;#43;balance&amp;amp;#43;847%2Cp_89%3ANew&amp;amp;#43;Balance&amp;amp;amp;bbn&amp;amp;#61;7141123011&amp;amp;amp;keywords&amp;amp;#61;new&amp;amp;#43;balance&amp;amp;#43;847&amp;amp;amp;ie&amp;amp;#61;UTF8&amp;amp;amp;qid&amp;amp;#61;1440850474&amp;amp;amp;rnid&amp;amp;#61;2528832011&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;amazon&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;affiliate&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;8&amp;quot; rel=&amp;quot;nofollow&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Compare Prices&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
