If you don't have wide feet, then the 847 might be fine.  But in 11-6E, this model is a full half-inch narrower than the discontinued 1123 model.  Just because New Balance sticks a 6E tag in the shoe doesn't change the fact that the shoe is not even close to being a 6E.

I've owned many pair of the 1123s and loved them in spite of the fact that most of them didn't last very long. But I always went back to them because they were a true 6E and felt great.

The accountants at New Balance probably suggested changing the tag to 6E, while offering a shoe that is only slightly wider than average.

I've been stuck on New Balance for many years, but it looks like those days are over.
