I have a pair of w1540's size in a 4E. The 1540 shoe was supposed to replace the 1123 which replaced the 1122. The 1122 was great, the 1123 not as good, the 1540 TERRIBLE. Each time the shoe is redesigned it get smaller, yes smaller. Read the other reviews they are on point about how uncomfortable these shoes are. Now after 7 months the black bottom sole of the shoe is peeling off! $159.00 for a pair of shoes that only lasted 7 months!  New Balance please read Amazon's reviews (and the ones on your website.) Men are also complaining about how your shoes are shrinking. Repeat..........do not buy these shoes. Not worth the money.

UPDATE:New Balance replaced the shoes. But, oh the pain after a month. I had such bad pain along the outside edge of the foot I had an x-ray. The solution? Get rid of the shoes. If you have a bad pair of these expensive shoes SEND THEM BACK. If others complain also maybe NB will get the message and bring back the 1123 or redesign the 1540. Stay away from these shoes.

UPDATE: NB customer service was great. But, still stay away from these shoes. Too bad they are the only SL-2 4E shoes for women that NB makes. NB are you listening/reading feedback from your customers???
