I am *THRILLED* with this shoe!  New Balance has always had 2A-width athletic shoes, but these seem to fit the best of any I've tried.  Usually, even with narrow-width shoes, I have to pull the ties uncomfortably tight across the top of my foot, and often blisters form on my heels and on the bottoms of my toes because of slippage.

I was worried that the toe bed was too wide because the shoe seems to paddle out across the toes.  Too much room in the toe box usually causes my toes to rub around (thus the blisters on the bottoms of my toes).  However, my dog and I went out for a 45 minute run yesterday, and not only was the shoe very light weight and comfortable, my toes didn't slip!

Be aware that the fabric bunches up at the transition from the wider toe box to a narrower midpoint of the shoe.  This doesn't bother me in the least (unless it becomes uncomfortable).

I've posted a picture of the shoes on my feet in the "Customer Images" section so you can see the "paddle look" and the extra fabric that bunches up at the top of the tongue.

GREAT SHOE for narrow/skinny/ski-shaped feet!
