I was very skeptical because I have never owned a New Balance pair of sneakers and much less a walking pair of shoes, I have always used Nike, however, I started walking a  month ago and noticed that my feet would hurt too much after the walk and I realized that I needed a good pair of walking shoes. I did my research and came to this page, still I was unsure but reading the other feedback left I decided to give them a try. These sneakers are so comfortable I can walk for hours non- stop and have no swelling, no pain nothing! they are also cute  I'm into looks when it comes to my sneakers) I have worn them for 2 weeks and they are still white and impeccable and I walk in a park were they play baseball, there is nothing negative I can say about these, I'm usually a 7.5M but I ordered 7.5N and they fit PERFECTLY! Search no more if you are looking for good reliable nice looking walking shoes for daily walking this are the best choice
