New Balance shoes work for me because they have a set of lasts that address my high arch. These shoes are comfortable from that aspect, but after my first walk my legs and feet were fatigued. I have REALLY high arches, so take that into consideration when reading this review. I had to add insoles to help with the cushioning, and now things are fine.

I  love that these are so lightweight and I can feel the road, which make them great for my fast pace and lack of natural dexterity (nice for "trips easily"). I have a pair of New Balance country walkers that are much more comfortable/cushioned for walking, but they're a clunkier shoe and better for hiking.

Bottom line, New Balance shoes are the best you can buy for the money. Go to their website to learn which last number is best for your foot and remember that you can still customize with insoles if you need to.
