I have 11.5 EE sized feet, and what the bicycling community would consider a Clydesdale...therefore finding a shoe that fits and can take the punishment from me is hard to find.  New Balance has been making this line of walking/hiking shoes for many years and I have always been quite happy with them.  As for the MW955, this has to be the best hiking shoe I have owned!  It has the perfect amount of arch support, breathes better than the older pair.  Has shown decent traction in soft soil and rugged terrain, but is a little lacking on wet tile and smooth concrete (not surprising), but is quite waterproof (to the lacing), and easy to clean.  Farthest hike/walk so far has be 8 miles and nary a sore foot.  I now wear these everyday to work and am quite happy.

Sizing was spot on.

Amazon of course was great!
