The shoes are very well made. The only negative comment I have is that New Balance needs to correct their sizing to correspond with American feet, not Indonesian. Maybe it's a lack of proper quality control at the factory. I ordered 9EE but the shoes are more like a 9 narrow. I will keep the shoes and give them to someone with smaller feet than mine. In all fairness to New Balance, ordering shoes on-line is a crap-shoot, regardless of the manufacturer. There doesn't seem to be a consistent sizing standard.
