These are some of my favorite work shoes ever. Yes New Balance thankfully on the black did not make the N stand out and they are more than acceptable at my work place. I am glad because they are very comfortable. I walk a decent amount during the work day and they are so lightweight I hardly know they are on. But they give good cushioning and support as well.

The D are perhaps slightly narrow. But they expanded in no time and are now very comfortable. If you can find San Antonio Shoes or SAS shoes were you live, be sure to try those. They are made in the USA by a small company and are a little pricey. But they are very well made. Well made enough that I had leg pain once in a very standing intensive job on a hard floor and they made the pain go away. Short of those, these are a great buy.
