I've worn this model shoe for years in previous reiterations. I found the earlier models to be extremely confortable; especially working long hours on my feet in an extremely busy orthopaedic surgical practice hence, I ordered this updated model. As a result, I have high expectations for this updated model. However, unfortunately one of the shoe inserts was for a larger size shoe. As a result, I returned them and reordered another pair with hopes that the inserts on the new order are the correct size. I know, I could have cut the inserts down to size, but if I cut wrong, I would be spending money on new inserts.

Quality
Same decent New Balance quality that I expected.

Sizing / Fit
I ordered the size I normally wear, but these seem fit very snug. Not sure if this can be attributed to the fact that this is an updated version or just a new sneaker. Along with my order, I order a half size larger for comparison. I will provide a review on the updated order and will circle back to update this review too.

UPDATE:
The half size larger was to big. I kept the size I normally wear and attribute the snug fit to the fact that its a leather shoe and needs to break in. I did wear them today and found the very comfy.
