I read the reviews and since I know my size in New Balance shoes I ordered these. I wanted a black, casual comfortable shoe that I could wear for hours of being on my feet(and a shoe in which I could insert my orthotics). Many shoes, even NB's, I have to use the shoe stretcher where my bunion is, but this one had a wide enough toe box to accommodate the bump without a problem. I wear a D width in Woman's NB shoes. They are at the high end of $$$ with New Balance shoes, but I have bad feet, so I buy where I can get the best price. Amazon provided me with that. These are excellent shoes, and the look good with black slacks, for casual occasions. I'm very happy with this style and I want to thank those reviewers who came before me. Your input helps!!!
