My husband bought this shoe as a replacement for a pair he has worn and replaced and worn and replaced over and over for many years.  This is NOT a good replacement.  While the quality is superior and what you expect from New Balance, the toe box is way too small, much smaller than the replaced model, and he just could not wear them for longer than 5 minutes at a time.  The length and width were true to size, but the toe box -- ouch!  Try before you buy!!  These went back to Amazon, regrettably.
