Are you dealing with a foot condition that has led to foot or leg pain and your medical professional recommends that you wear a pair of supportive New Balance shoes but didn’t specify which models to get? Maybe a friend or family member who is also dealing with a similar condition recommended New Balance shoes but again you are not sure which specific style you should buy? Do you have a “complex” foot shape that makes it challenging to find shoes that fit you comfortably? I am going to show you a list of the most supportive New Balance shoes for women with foot pain that I have fitted before at the shoe store where I work.
Many women contact me explaining how they already tried a pair of New Balance shoes but they didn’t work well for their feet. The thing is, not all New Balance shoes provide the same levels of support. New Balance has a very extensive line of shoes, and there are only a few models that work well for women with foot problems.
My Experience Helping Women Find the Correct Pair of Shoes for Their Feet
I have found that certain New Balance shoes are ideal for women who are experiencing foot pain and are dealing with the following foot conditions:
- Flat feet
- Heel Pain
- High Arches
- Overpronation
New Balance shoes are not cheap, so if you are going to make that investment, you want to make sure that the shoes are going to properly fit and support your feet. That is going to be the only way that you will get the full benefits that the shoes have to offer.
New Balance Shoes for Women with Foot Problems: Before and After Images
I have helped several women with foot pain find the perfect pair of shoes for their feet, and I’m confident that I will be able to help you as well. Let me show you some examples of before and after images of women wearing unsupportive versus supportive shoes.
The first image shows a woman with flat feet wearing a pair of Nike shoes on the left image and a pair of New Balance shoes on the right image. Do you notice how the woman’s foot posture is a lot straighter when wearing New Balance shoes?
The supportive outsole and firm heel counter of the New Balance shoes are preventing the woman’s feet from collapsing:
Now let’s take a look at an image from the front so you can better visualize what I mean:
Wow! Now you can see what a huge difference the correct pair of shoes can make!
Below you can find an additional example of a different woman wearing a pair of unsupportive shoes on the left and a pair of supportive New Balance shoes on the right:
What Makes the New Balance Shoes I Recommend Ideal for Women with Foot Pain?
1️⃣ Substantial Outsoles Provide a Stable Base of Support: Supportive and lightweight cushioned outsoles offer superior arch support along with excellent cushioning that helps realign the feet and improve the ease of walking while reducing stress on the joints.
2️⃣ Targeted Heel and Ankle Support: The New Balance shoes I recommend provide a heel technology cushioning system that helps attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases. The shoes I recommend provide targeted support right below your heels, which is great for shock absorption. Press on the heel counter of your current shoes and make sure that it feels firm:
3️⃣ Straight Lasts: Straight last shoes are also referred to as motion control shoes, and they usually provide better material maintaining support beneath the medial column of the foot. Basically, your shoes might have a straight or curved last.
4️⃣ Extra Deep: Extra depth design and a roomy toe-box ensure a relaxed fit and room for custom-made or over-the-counter foot orthotics.
Do You Have a “Complex” Foot Shape In Addition to Foot Problems?
I have helped hundreds of women with different types of foot conditions and shapes such as long, slender toes, high arches, high insteps, a wide base, and a narrow short heel… you name it! Some other women that came to the shoe store had short toes, flat feet, and quad heels! With that said, your feet are uniquely shaped and there is no one-size-fits-all. So, it’s important to keep in mind that what might have worked well for some women I have helped, might not work as well for others!
Before you buy any shoes, you should ask yourself these important questions:
➡️ Are the shoes going to work well with your orthotics?
➡️ Are the shoes going to accommodate your foot shape?
➡️ Are the shoes going to be durable and versatile so you can wear them for most of the day and to multiple activities?
Take a look at the description below each shoe to find out the answer to the questions above. Disclosure: Keep in mind that we may receive commissions when you click our links and make purchases.

Can You Fit Orthotics Inside the New Balance Shoes that I Recommended?
Yes, you can fit orthotics inside the New Balance shoes I recommend as they all come with removable insoles and provide extra depth to allow extra space for the orthotics.
The Importance of Wearing the Correct Shoe Size
There is a study by the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society that showed that 88% of American women wear shoes that are too small.
There is nothing more uncomfortable than wearing the wrong size shoe! Be aware that your foot shape and size can change overtime. This can happen because of pregnancy, aging, and weight gain or loss. The ligaments and tendons also lose strength due to aging and make our arches decrease which can flatten and lengthen the foot and toes. Because of this, I recommend you get your feet measured every 6 months. Additionally, when it comes to sizes you don’t only need to only look at the length of your foot but also the width! Quality measurements start with expert consultation, so let me help you retrieve your exact foot length:

Don’t Forget to Tie Your Shoes Comfortably Tight
To get the full support and stability that the shoes have to offer, you must tie them correctly. I like to pull the laces of the shoes tightly, as I feel more stable and secure when walking or running. Keep in mind that the laces will “hug” your feet, allowing you to get the full support and stability that the shoes have to offer.
