### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One of the highest New Balance made, and One of the best constructed
  

*by M***1 on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2014*

This shoe which is one of the American Made series by New Balance just oozes quality at every stitch and angle.  From the soft and supple suede leather, to the softness of the lining, through the cushioning effect of the sole, it shows that it IS the Top of the Line!  I thought at first that it was going to be a little snug, but as I have worn it a little more, it has loosened up, and by changing out the removable insole, and exchanging it for a closed cell foam from a older Rebok walker pair, they work just fine.  I do wish that New Balance would do a better job on their insoles.  They are much too often flat non-descript pieces of foam and a piece of cloth that offer little in the way of cushioning or support.  While the Rebok has a molded arch support that is not intrusive, and does offer a little better cushion for my older feet.Other than the insole, these shoes are great, and if you can catch them on a sale or get a good deal under $200 you will not be happy with the run of the mill off the shelve variety anymore.

    Not even close to being worth the money
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2013*

Are these shoes nice?  Yep.  They even look really fantastic.  BUT THEY'RE $265!  I read the reviews for these and having plantar fasciitis myself I decided not to skimp and spend the extra money in the name of pain-free feet (after all I wouldn't buy cheap tires for my sports car, right?)  I could not tell one iota worth of difference between these and the $75 Asics I've been buying.  What exactly makes these so expensive?  Well, the inserts that come with these are nice and gel-like soft, but other than that I don't get it.  I'd give them only 1 star because they're so unjustifiably expensive, but I suppose they are nice shoes generally speaking.  But not for $265.  Not even close.  Also, like one other reviewer mentioned, when I use my Birkenstock orthodic inserts, my heels are sticking up so high that they don't feel secure in the back and keep slipping out with every step.  I only wish some of the other less expensive running shoes nowadays didn't look like a kaleidoscope and took some lessons from this particular shoe.

    Well made. But NOT "cushioning" shoe. Far too stiff and outsole is flat and hard.
  

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2013*

I've used Nike or New Balance running shoes for about 30 years. In my youth I was averaging about 1000 miles a year, jogging, but I'm nowhere near that now. I'll use these New Balance 2040 mostly on a treadmill, walking on an incline (my joints don't like jogging any more!).First impression, other than the excellent quality of materials and workmanship (and the obvious very high price) is that the shoes are (a) a bit on the heavy side and (b) they are VERY stiff.I expected them to be heavy -- leather runners just are -- but I didn't expect the stiffness. They are marketed as a "cushioning" shoe, not a "stability" shoe and I expected more "cushioning" and less stiffness.I still like them a lot, and would probably buy them again. But potential buyers who can't try them first should be aware that the soles are VERY stiff.UPDATE: I've had these about 4 Winter months and use them inside on an elliptical and a treadmill. I have NOT run outside in these shoes yet.However, I've changed my mind (above) and would NOT buy these again. They are too stiff and the sole rubber is too hard. Combined with the flat design of the sole -- there are no nubs as on most running shoes -- they feel really, really hard and unyielding.I'm very surprised because, as noted above, New Balance markets this shoe as "cushioning". In my experience it is NOT a cushioning shoe and I've had many, many other New Balance and Nike runners that were FAR better for "cushioning".As noted, I wouldn't buy these shoes again. The build quality and materials quality is excellent but they're not actually any darned good for exercising! And the price is really stupid. (If the shoes delivered what they promised, I wouldn't comment about price. But they DO NOT.)
