New Balance has so MANY different kinds of shoes, styles for everything under the sun.  I have plantar fasciitis on one foot, a bunion on the other, and I found this particular shoe in the wide was just, well, TOO wide....but because I have so much trouble finding ANY size 11 shoes around here, I kept them and do wear them.  They don't hurt, and by wearing heavier socks, they're just fine.  I just found that this particular style runs a bit bit compared to other NB style I've bought.
