This is a neutral running shoe with a wide toe box that allows plenty of room for a bunion!  I buy it one size larger so my orthotics will fit.  It was recommended by my podiatrist.  Every time New Balance comes out with a new model of this style of shoe, I get fitted at a store with my first pair to make sure they fit (they tend to change the width or length when they 'upgrade' the model number), then I go online to get my next pair cheaper. I change my shoes every 500 miles - about every 4 to 5 months, and have been using this style of New Balance for many years now.
