These are so-so walking shoes, made of rather lightweight materials that feel somewhat thin and cheap.  I purchased the 2E width, the same as some existing New Balance shoes, and these are much narrower in the toe, which causes some discomfort.  Those with wider feet may want to beware.  The soles have excellent traction and are well cushioned.  They feel better when walking than when seated.  Rather nice looking, if you prefer a hiking boot look, and go well with jeans and chinos.  Been wearing them for a couple of weeks and they're still tight in the toe but otherwise OK.  I'd recommend trying a pair on for size before ordering on-line.
