New Balance shoes were recommended for my feet.  Since I have never been able to fit my feet very well, usually getting ones that are either too long, too narrow in the toes, too wide in the heel, no support in the arch; that I thought I would have a similar experience with these shoes.  I went to a department store to try some on to see what my size would be, then ordered these and the MW928 brown pair.  The MW928 were much more expensive and while very nice, no better than these for much less.  I wanted another color, and got them just because they were not black.  I do not understand why the price is so much higher.  The good news is that these shoes fit better than any I can ever remember having.  The walking shoe design seems to allow the toes to fall forward, leaving your weight to rest on a thick cushion, absorbing the weight while keeping the toes and their joints from receiving the stress of the stride.  I can take a much longer stride in comfort with these shoes.  And they are very attractive and durable.  By the way, I did buy a pair at the department store, and paid as much as I did for these, but those are not as attractive and did not fit as well.  If I had not already worn them, I would have returned them.  Makes me wonder if those really were New Balance shoes.
