This is my third pair of ne balance trail running shoes. They are just as good as all the others. They are naturally a little wider than a typicall running or walking shoe, but that's what to expect from a trail running shoe. The shoe anticipates running on uneven ground. The laces are a little bright,in case you're looking for an all black shoe, but jeans hide them or youmcam just swap them out. The other areas with yellow are not bright. 4 stars because the pull tab feels flimsy. Pretty sure that will rip off soon.
