I actually ordered these for casual wear because I have finicky plantar fasciitis. My flare ups had been more frequent so I thought Id try these. I actually have two pair of new balance vazee rush and I love them! Ive always loved new balance and thought you cant go wrong with this brand! I thought they were just a bit clunky for casual everyday wear so they are now work sneakers. I ordered a 10.5 but I normally wear a size 10 just to have a little more room in the toe. I felt like they were a little on the wider side so thats why I just use them as work shoes. I work in a hospital so standing and walking on hard concrete floors def takes a toll on your feet after some years. I typically wear dansko clogs so these are my swap out shoes when those clogs make my feet tired. The heel support is great its not flat and not too springy it feels just right and they don't seem to bother the arches of my feet. Overall Im happy with the sneakers :)
