Very nice looking walking shoe - right out of the box.  Have always been a New Balance fan.
As other reviewers have stated, the new New Balance shoes are shorter than previous shoes.  I normally wear a men's size 8 with a normal width.  I ordered an 8.5 and they fit fine - length and width are correct.
However, I found the tongue of the shoe to be too narrow.  If you wear light colored socks with the dark shoes, you have white spots sowing through.  I understand the need to save money, but come on New Balance yours shoes used to be Awesome.
Another issue I have with this shoe, is there is barely any padding inside the shoe.
I can say I have never ordered this style of New Balance shoe, so I only have other styles to compare it to.  I am going to order a style I have previously owned, so we will see.
I will keep these shoes as I only use them for my 3 mile walk every morning and I do not really care what the look like.  Do wish they had a little more padding though.
