I absolutely loved the looks of this walking shoe but, unfortunately, I should have returned them.  Having worn other New Balance walking shoes for over 10 years, I purchased them 1/2 size larger than what I normally wear in other shoes, but could have purchased my exact size in this style.  I wear a wide width and never had problems with New Balance before but these are a little tight.  I hoped that if I wore them a few times they would stretch and be okay, but they have not and are uncomfortable.
