This is my fourth pair of this style New Balance running shoe. They are a great stability shoe when running and very durable.  I continue to wear "worn" pairs of these shoes on around town or for shopping. Of all the running shoes I have owned, these have a casual look to them.  Wore a pair of these in a recent walking tour of lower Manhattan.  After four hours my feet were fine while others in my group were not so comfortable.  Shoes are a little pricy, but this version is "made in America" which gives me another reason to continue purchasing this running shoe.
