For those of us battling with the day to day pain of medical ailments such as plantar fasciitis, hammer toes or just plain wide feet comes the updated 840v2. Noted for its extra-wide toebox and slim, form-fitting heel, the New Balance 840v2, previously the 883 series, has become the go-to shoe for customers and New Balance fit professionals alike. With a tremendous amount of cushioning in the heel and forefoot, along with a forgiving mesh upper, the 840v2 is our and many podiatrists’ top recommendation for those looking for relief from chronic foot pain. And while the 840v2 isn’t for the most fleet of foot, when you compare it to traditional orthopedic shoes, your feet will thank you.
