Background:  I am 70 and 10 years ago I fell 10 feet and landed with all my weight on my right ankle.  Made a mess our of the ankle and since I fortunately had a great doctor the only problem I have is that it is somewhat larger
than my left.

I was told by an orthapedic doctor that I needed to get a good pair of sneakers for everyday use.  He recomended that I go to Fleet Feet.  This I did and was very much empressed with the service and their recomendation.  The associate recommended the New Balance 993.  He asked me to try them on and had me walk twice across the floor to the door and back.  He watched me walk and informed me that I was turning my heel in.  Recommended an orthodic to correct the problem.

Summary:  I had heard before that when you put a shoe on it should FIT.. no break in required, it should fit from the first step.  That is exactly what happended and the whole experience has been nothing but positive and I am one happy customer all the way around.

PS this is only one of two items that I have not bought through Amazon.
