These are my favorite shoes. Just a very comfortable shoe that works well whether you're playing basketball or mowing the lawn. In my opinion they are an accurate fit in the lenth and the width. I like a wide and tall toe box, and these fit the bill. I have probably had three or four pair of these previously. They seem to hold up very well. You can't beat New Balance for a solid, well constructed shoe. Also, the price and shipping thru Amazon was great!
