I have worn New Balance shoes exclusively for over 10 years because they are always available in wide widths and seem comfortable.  However the 622 I just bought seems to have too much vertical room in the toebox and lacks arch support for anyone with high arches.  They seem stiffer than my old 620 shoes; perhaps I should have researched other than cross training shoes, since I use them mainly for walking and light trail hiking in warm weather.  Next time I will look for a more flexible toe and something with more webbing or slightly less leather in the toe area.
