I have very high arches and other foot issues that make standing on my feet all day at work, very painful.  These shoes due to the way they are built and the support that they provide, eliminates that issue.  These shoes offer the features of Stabilicore support and N-ergy shock absorption.  Which, if you are like me, sound like a new and improved sales pitch, well it probably is, but it also makes for a very comfortable shoe as well.  -Warning- you will have to break these shoes in.  Do not expect these to be comfortable the first day out of the box.  Due to the support system, they will not be comfortable on the first day, but they will be by day 14.  My only "grumble", which is why they have four stars instead of 5, I have with the shoes is that they do not come in a all leather shoe.  The mesh material would probably be great for a runner, but I wear them all day long in all kinds of weather.  Some puddles can not be seen until you step into it and then you have wet socks.  Finally, these shoes due to the laces, don't stay tied either.  Be prepared even with double knots to retie your shoes at least 3 times in a eight hour shift.

August 12, 2011  I am now on my second pair of these shoes.  They did change the laces so they stay tied now.  They still need a couple days for the shoes arch to conform to your arch, but that has been improved as well.  I wore my last pair for almost a full year before they became uncomfortable.  In fact, I did not realize how long I had worn then until I checked on the purchase date and was amazed that they had held up that long.  Most shoes last me 3 to 4 months before they become so uncomfortable I can't stand to wear them.  Buy them now and if you find that they are as comfortable for you as they are for me, buy a couple more pair, you know how New Balance loves to discontinue a shoe that works. ;-(  Taking my own advice, I just bought a spare pair.....just in case.
