I can only report on these shoes as for walking, since my knees and ankles do not permit me to run any more.  However, I do walk 5 K every other day, alternating with biking.
The shoes are comfortable, support my feet, and do not create any kind of foot problem that I am aware of.
The only complaint I could have is that, although they are assembled in the U.S.A., the shoes are made from imported materials, thus cutting a few more U.S. jobs.
I should have mentioned that the laces are too long.  If you do not double loop them or tie them around your ankles or something, you will step on a lace and trip yourself or untie the shoe.
New Balance has never gotten the lace length correct, which leads me to believe that the persons in charge have never actually worn their own products.
