As a result of a bicycle accident 22 years ago, I have a drop left foot and I cannot raise my left toes, so they are permanently 'stuck' to the sole of any left shoe that I wear. This causes continual rubbing and occasional blisters. I have tried many different shoes.

I bought the New Balance shoes because of the reviews and the price. So far, they seem to be as good for my special problem foot as any shoe that I have owned since the accident, and that includes all shoes, athletic or otherwise.

I think I can say the same for the support these shoes provide, although I have not been paying attention to support as much as I have been evaluating rubbing and blisters over the years. The other reviews can be more helpful for this. (I don't even know all the current running jargon used in many of the other reviews. :-)

The shoes are also light enough for my drop foot.

I hope this review has been helpful to anyone with a similar foot problem.
