I was looking for a shoe to replace my wonderful New Balance 841 and this seemed to be close, though it is heavier than the 841.  At any rate, it is a fine shoe with excellent support and balance.  I bought it a bit larger than I needed so that I could supplement its support with a thin pair of insoles meant to augment the support the shoe already had.  I have a bit of neuropathy in my feet as well as an athritic arch.  But these shoes make those mild maladies scarcely noticeable.  I wanted a fine pair of everyday shoes and I got them in the MX856.
