Agree with MurphsWoot. I grew up with Nike’s but they went crappy ten+ years ago. I wear Asics to run and NB as regular sneakers. The last time I bought NB I had to get a size 12 instead of 10.5 and it was the same model. The clerk brought out different models and they generally were smaller than the 10.5 I was wearing.
Why would you bother putting shoes on here when you only have a handful of the sizes most people wear and no wide widths. Most were sold out before morning, how many could there have been 2-3 each…
I ONLY buy New Balance, but it’s because they’re the only company making shoes in the USA. Alas, these are Vietnamese, so I’ll pass.
I really like NB sneakers for running. I have not tried this model, but I have often been warned about buying old discontinued shoes that have been sitting in a warehouse. Something about the cushioning material wearing out quicker. This is just what
I have been told by other runners. I haven’t done any testing with old sneakers. These sneakers we discontinued over a year ago. The current model is on sale at NB site for 49.99 because it is about to be discontinued.
The size chart in the specs lists up to size 15 for men but only up to size 14 is selectable. I really had my hopes up here. 
I really need a good afordable pair of running shoes and new balance are great.
Because woot has dwindled down to a crappy site of “deals” and refurbished nonsense. I miss the good ol’ days.
The cushion in running shoes is made of EVA and shouldn’t deteriorate if stored in a warehouse. UV from sunlight could break it down, but not just sitting in a dark box for two years.
I bought a pair of these as my first running shoes, and liked them so much I bought the ‘v2’ as a replacement. They’re probably not for serious distance runners but that’s not me. As a basic shoe for everyday fitness, 5ks, the gym, they’re excellent.
Funny to see the original 750 is made overseas as the 750v2 I own were made in the USA. As far as I can tell the 750 and 750v2 are otherwise identical except for styling/colors. The sole molds seem to be the same.
You mean the days of selling quirky funny items that only us nerds like? Yep. Just another deal a day sight now. In fact, quite a bit more boring than most.
And there’s not a chance in heck I’d buy running shoes without trying them on first. Dress shoes? Sure. Sandals? Of course. Running shoes? No way jose.
Great for women! If you have freaking elf feet. Only size 6 available.
“Because I ate 17 Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs last night. I don’t feel well.”
Dude. The Eggs are WAY better than the normal Peanut Butter Cups. I could put a hurtin’ on some Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs right now…
All right, all right, let’s all just agree that Woot blows and we have a terrible selection of shoe sizes and width.
Now, to answer a question:
[QUOTE=kencan420, post:14, topic:415536]
I also noticed that the picture of the tongue of the shoe showed 750v1 why ?

The buyer explained this to me- the 750 is the general line of the shoes, 750v1 is the shoe we’re selling.
And no, we don’t offer any extended widths today, sorry
Suggestion: When you are out of stock, how about saying so up front. It is 11:30 EDT, and there are no women’s New Balance available. ali
so everyone is upset that the clearance rack does not happen to have wide width shoes available?
Do you expect clearance racks to be fully stocked with anything you could want?
And why do so many people need wide widths? I am 6’5 240lb and dont use a wide width.
I bought this exact model of shoe at the mall about 4 months ago on clearance for about $24 after taxes.
Note that the tongue on this shoe is thin with little padding.
Sweet! So it’s light-weight and breathable, eh? Who needs a padded tongue unless you’re wearing them upside down?
I like to lace up my shoes tightly. Sometimes the laces dig into my upper foot/ankle a little much on these. They are nice and breathable. They aren’t particularly light for a running or training shoe in particular, but they are not bad. They don’t seem to have a very soft insole or footbed, either.

Not offering extended widths is OK. I get that this is Woot, not Amazon. However, not indicating up front that what you are offering is width D[M] (which still isn’t clear) is not OK. Neither is responding to a very pertinent question 10 hours later (after nearly everything is unavailable).
Maybe spend less time trying to write copy you think is clever, and more time on business basics.

If we offer extended widths (whether narrow or wider), we will indicate that. Our default will always be normal/standard width unless otherwise noted. Sorry you missed out.

So D width = “normal/standard?” In my day we called it “medium.” Rockport still does. Not everyone is in the shoe industry. If that’s your default, indicate that, too: a few more characters is not going to break your servers or ruin your UX.
It’s the little things that are the difference between a customer-centric company and… well, Woot.
Decent shoes for a low price was a little to big for my foot so my mom can use them… would have saved me a few days of trying on shoes and about $60. but when I saw them no shoe store was open.
