My feet are flat and orthotics were too painful to wear.  New Balance shoes were recommended and I found that they are exactly what I need.  My arch is properly supported and I can walk far better than before.  The shoes are comfortable to wear although I would not consider them attractive.  But, if your feet do not hurt, do you really care?  If New Balance made these shoes in brown and navy, I would definitely wear them.  For those of us who need foot support all of the time and not just for sports this would be an excellent idea.  Buy these shoes, you will not regret it.
