My daughter bought these shoes for me for my 88th birthday I just celebrated. I was wearing a pair of New Balance MXV407WN tennis shoes, but the New Balances did not give my feet adequate support in the heel and instep, and were too tight. The Propet LifeWalker sneaker is a better fit especially since I ordered EEE width. They feel more stable and comfortable when walking for any length of time, and my feet don't seem to get as tired as when I was wearing the New Balances. I still get around pretty good for an old guy! I would recommend this shoe to anyone with poor feet circulation, such as I have. My feet swell up during the day and when I am out walking for extended periods of time. These shoes did not hurt my feet even after a full day of wearing and walking in them.
