I got these shoes by happy accident, the vendor was out of the shoes I had ordered and sent me these instead. They are my favorites so far. After the heels wore down I replaced them with 1080s because of good reviews for narrow feet, but 759s are more comfortable and I didn't have any issues with sore heels or back with the 759s like I do occasionally with the 1080s. I really should buy another pair of 759s in case new balance stops making them before my 1080s wear out!
