I have been wearing New Balance shoes for many years.  This pair is my new favorite.  They are light weight, well made, and comfortable.  The sole will flex some as I walk which I really like better, as some New Balance shoes have had a fairly stiff or inflexible sole.  I have very wide feet and I ordered a 4E and a half size up from my usual shoe size and they fit really nice.  The toe box is very roomy, as I don't like any pressure on my toes, but the shoe snugs up well around the rest of my foot when the shoes strings are tied.  I can't wait to use them on my long walks though have used them walking around on concrete for several hours when shopping and my feet felt as good when I finished the shopping as they did when I started out that morning.  They didn't need any breaking in either.  I plan to buy another pair for a back up soon.
