I got these to replace my SO's volleyball shoes and they were a total success. To put a few quotes out there "These are the most comfortable new shoes I have ever put on," "These are absolutely my favorite new shoes," and "Holy Crap!"

These are beautiful shoes and have amazing traction and support, great cushioning for the heal and totally live up to their description as seriously comfortable. They have been on a few walks and a few volleyball games now and they are holding up very well. Time will tell how they will wear, but two weeks out of the box and they are incredible.

One of the deciding factors on requesting these shoes was that I have a number of friends and family members that swear by New Balance.  They can add one more loyal customer to their rolls.
