Keeping in mind the price, this is an acceptable shoe.  However, as a long time fan of New Balance, I have to say this is a cheaply made shoe.  The upper material looks more like vinyl than leather (I'm not sure what it really is).  My biggest disappointment is in the rubber sole of this shoe.  In a word it is THIN.  Our area is undergoing a lot of construction and there is often gravel/stones on the pavement I walk on.  With these shoes you can feel every stone.  When I wear an older pair of NB 622's I don't feel as if the stone could come through the bottom like I do with these.

On the positive side, these shoes do fit very well and are pretty comfortable.  I haven't worn them enough to determine how durable they'll be.

While I don't hate these shoes, I'll definitely not purchase this model again.  Next time it'll be something a little more substantial.

BTW, no issues with the order or delivery by the vendor.
