Most comfortable sneakers that I have ever owned. I usually get Skechers but decided to see if another brand would do better. My podiatrist had New Balance on her recommended list for my flat feet. I did take out the insoles and put in commercial orthotics which I do with every pair of footwear that I purchase. It's standard procedure for my fallen arches. I just got back from a trip to Florida with these sneakers and they worked out perfectly. And my wife really likes the way that they look too. FIVE STARS!
