Not quite sure why, but I've never tried on a pair of NB shoes and was not a big fan of their styles until recently. I previously purchased a pair of running shoes for well over $120 from Saucony and was having constant problems with my ankle getting very tight after a few minutes of exercise. It turns out they were too heavy and I was having a hard time with them even after mild aerobics.

I promptly switched to these New Balance running shoes and my ankles have not been further aggravated. They're light-weight and incredibly airy. I love how they're ventilated throughout and that the soles aren't inches thick.

Considering amazon has a no hassle return policy on shoes now, I really suggest you give these a try. They're perfect if you're looking for a lighter pair of airy running shoes!

**Edit: Just got them in the mail. I ordered C/D because the ones I already had were B width. However, when I compare my pink ones and the neon ones I just received, they seem exactly the same. I've only worn my older pair for about two weeks whenever I go to the gym, so I really don't think they've been worn down at all.

The new box and shoe reads C/D but I don't see any difference between the two sizes when I match them up. If you're looking for a significantly different feel between the two widths, I'd be a bit cautious. The shoes are already pretty wide so it didn't make a huge difference to me, but others may run into some problems.
