I am a huge New Balance fan and have worn their shoes for years. I purchased these as a second pair and to my unfortunate surprise the sizing was way off. one of the shoes I could not even get my foot into so it was atleast 1.5 sizes to small and the other was not only about 1/2 size to short it was a normal width when it should have been a 4E. Other then that t hey looked like good shoes and built well but the size was NOT what was stamped on the shoe so they got sent back.
