I've been wearing New Balance for years. They are the only shoe I've found that work for my feet, being at a hospital for 12 hour shifts.  I loved the look of these too, mostly white (required fro school) and no mesh across the toes (a must for me working in a hospital). However, these do NOT fit like my others do! They felt too narrow and I could actually feel the seaming on the inside rubbing against my instep...ouch! I had to return these, which was quick and painless, fortunately. I'll have to go to a brick and morter store to find my next pair so I can actually try them on this time.
