These shoes are comfortable and I am so glad to have them.  I don't run, but I love to Bass Fish.  One day my buddy was with me and he was amazed that I fished on my boat barefooted.  He asked why I had no shoes on around all those hooks, I told him that wearing my shoes while standing all day casting made my feet hurt and he laughed and said "I guess so, you have wide feet and should be wearing 4E shoes."  I laughed and said the only 4E shoes I have ever seen in the store were for old men and I wasn't wearing no Nike Monarchs!  He had me go onto New Balances site and we found a few I liked, I went ahead and ordered these from Amazon, they were 10 bucks cheaper here and free shipping.  Only reason why they got a 4 star is I think they are a little pricey.  So far the shoes have held up great, I even wear them on my quad and the only thing that shows is they aren't bright white after all the dust they been through.  They have held up structurally great and still are very comfortable to wear.
