I've had these shoes for about 2 months now. They are definately the most comfortable shoes I've had so far.

I usually need 4E, so New Balance is a good fit for me. The M890v2 are no different from other New Balance considering size/fit.
Bought them for running, I'm now wearing them as casual shoes too. Very comfortable, light, good quality. I don't know how they compare to other running shoes, I'm not a pro. But for a begginer/intermediate runner, they are a good investment and I highly reccomend them.
