This is my second pair of New Balance shoes, the other being 992's which are probably the best running / casual shoe ever produced on the face of the earth.

Unfortunately, these shoes don't match up to the reputation of the 992's, however even coming close still means they are a good shoe.

The shoe didn't get 5 stars because the quality of the leather, although "light", is just okay.

Also, the sole of the shoe doesn't match up the the quality of my 992's.  If you want a better sole, you'd have to seek out a top of the line New Balance walking shoe.

I guess you only get the best if you buy top of the line, yet these shoes are a notch or two below.

Having said that, MW901 is still a good shoe.  It is very comfortable, and the sole is wide and supporting.  The last is SL2.  If you have a "straight" foot like mine you might want to seek out an SL-1 "last".

As you can see I am very picky about shoes.  If you are too, then simply seek out the latest top of the line NB shoe and skip past the lower models.
