I been wearing these for a month and has helped with nerve pains I been having and pronation of my left foot..I'm hoping in time it will resolve that issue..
Mr Bodell ,I'm a hairstylist , my 1540 r about done after wearing them a few years , do u suggest to get 1540 or should I try 990 .? I have bunion and supination . Thank u !
The 1540 has a wider last/sole than the 990. They both have the Roll Bar, Kevlar Shank, and arch support. Best suggestion is to stop somewhere where you can try on a pair to compare the difference. Similar support just a sportier style with a narrower footbed. Let us know how it goes!
Great review. It was informative and you definitely touched on all the details of the shoe. My experience is that these shoes are complete subpar quality, considering the price; I paid$188.50, so I expected a great sneaker. These things started falling a part after maybe 5 wears. I'm not talking running or tons of walking either. I mostly drive, but since I overpronate, I tend to want that extra support. The sneakers seem to provide the support, but they are cheaply made. To be clear, I have been wearing motion control New Balance since the 587s, albeit, I've favored Brooks Beasts recently. This year I decided to go back New Balance, fearing the change to the guide rail system on Brooks wouldn't be as supportive. Well after having a pair of sneakers fall apart so quickly, I'm done with New Balance. I've literally worn these sneakers less than 20 times since the spring and they are falling apart; even one of the N logos are coming off. If I didn't but them from a New Balance store direct, I would have assumed that I purchased knockoffs. Either way, New Balance lost a customer in me.
Sorry to hear about the rough times with your New Balance. We do agree that the new version of the 1540 does get some troubling comments, but we still stand by them. They are still made here in the USA, for the most part. We used to carry Brooks till they went over seas for their manufacturing, we stick to US, Europe and Israel mostly for our brands. Have a good day!
My dawg Bodell. Subscriber #5 here.
The review I've been hoping for.
Are the NB American made shoes worth the extra money?
Thanks
I would argue yes. Quality control is more reliable. Moreover, counter support, roll-bar is superior. Pronation/supination is virtually eliminated.

Thank you sir!
Very much worth it.
Terrific review. I was looking for something to replace my New Balance WR 1012. I think I have found it. Thanks !
Glad it was helpful!

It's certainly not a quick fix, but definitely works over time, keep us posted how it works out!
As of April 2021, these sneakers are no longer manufactured in the U.S.

How do they compare to the 928? For someone with PF, Supination, and over weight
They stopped manufacturing the 1540s in the US. Naturally the quality has decreased.
Are they good for athletes having backaches!
Does it work for flat feet?
Very much so.
why do mine say made in Vietnam?
