I have owned a pair of these shoes for years and they are just fantastic!  They are great summer shoe, with no socks, and super easy on the feet.  I have used them for quick trips to the store, long car trips, yard work, endless trips to the mailbox, etc.  My old pair still feels terrific, (but look like hell) and I'm sure I'll keep them until my wife sneaks around and throws them away!

Suggestion: these shoes, unlike most New Balance,  are pretty narrow.  I wear wide shoes just for coziness in this type of shoe and their EE's had to be exchanged for a half size up.
