I bought these shoes to replace my aging New Balance 558 walking shoes...I did a lot of reading for all New Balance shoes and chose these as they appeared to be lightweight and, though I like the look of leather uppers, the larger fabric area allows for better ventilation and comfort during hotter weather...I put them on and loved them immediately.  I have arthritis and have had two knee replacements.  Though my knees now allow me to walk...foot pain from arthritis still made my daily walking routine a challenge.  I wore these all day the second day I had them...They are absolutely the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn.  They are lightweight but still give good support...I cannot think of one thing to criticize about them.  For me they ran true to size but I do tend to wear all shoes a half size up in length due to arthritis...These were wide enough and so soft and comfortable inside the shoe.  They were a perfect choice for me and I highly recommend them.  (They arrived on my doorstep very quickly too...great shipping service)
