I have always liked New Balance they are always comfortable and provide great support. I am a very big guy which causes some foot problems and New Balance has never really let me down yet providing I stick to me size and do not veer from that. In the last three months I have tried 9 4E and they were to wide I tried 8 1/2 4E and the arch hit wrong so I broke down and spent more then I usually do and bought 9 4E and they fit great. I highly recommend New Balance to over weight people because they will provide you with comfort and support. I am speaking as a person who is considered morbidly obese so please do not take offense.
