I walk 4-6 miles per day, and go through a pair of shoes about every 6 months.  I have problem feet, nerve damage and lack of padding.  New Balance is the only shoe that every feels comfortable enough for me.  I needed to replace my other pair, but they discontinued that model, so spent a good amount of time reading reviews on Amazon, trying to find the closest pair to my old shoes.  This pair sounded like the closest match, and look very similar to my old pair.  I bought a 10D, as my feet need a wider width.  I also use "Sofsole" "Airr" Women's Performance Insoles, so I always add an extra half size to accommodate the extra space they take up. These shoes have good cushion and good support.  I am very happy with them.
