I work in a hospital so I need shoes that are very comfortable when doing a lot of walking and standing.  These are the perfect shoe for someone who stays on their feet.  They have a nice amount of arch, are very lightweight and attractive looking.  I ordered a wide because my feet tend to border between a regular and wide size in normal shoes and New Balance shoes tend to run a little narrow for me.  It was a good decision because they fit perfectly.  I have worn them nearly every workday since they arrived and my feet or back have not felt tired at the end of the day even once.
