Two Stars and that is a reach...I wear 'sneakers' 360 days a year, and have a half dozen pairs in rotation, from the usual manufacturers inc a few from NB.

The first pair, my usual size 11 for 55 yrs, was tight and more like a size 10+, and I returned them...the 2nd pair from a diff vendor, took 9+ days to arrive, (is this 1992?!), and I went for an 11 1/2 which is a touch long, natch, and narrow compared to the dozens of 'mediums' I a have bought/worn over the decades, inc many from NB.

This shoe is tall, narrow, oddly laced and may have the most stiff sole I have walked on since a pair of cheap work boots a decade ago. 'Trail Walking Shoe'?! It isn't even a sidewalk or carpeted floor walking shoe.

I realize this is anecdotal and everyone has a different 'best' shoe fitting, but this model is junk, imo. I have worn them in my quest to 'break them in/get used to them', but this model is not working for me. Can't return them as they have been worn, so I may wear them on occasion just to wear them and remind myself there are some odd ball models out there from every major name brand...they look good, they don't fit or 'work' for me, in my opinion. I rec'd finding a store that has them and trying them on in store/walking in them before buying.

Ordered from Outdoor Equipped and they took 9 solid days to arrive.
