They look cool and they feel great. I love how much room there is for my toes.
I have wide feet and I like New Balance because you can get them in widths higher than B.
There were no instructions about washing them so I don't know if I can wash them.
I do suggest easing your way into minimal support shoes if you are not used to them.
I've been doing a barefoot fitness class once a week and these shoes work great for me
for other workouts.
