Reviews of this shoe seemed to indicate a broad range of satisfaction with the sizing.  I actually ordered a bit larger than I should have (10.5 instead of 10) and the shoe is a tiny bit large for me...my own fault. But the shoes, which are my third pair of New Balance men's walking shoe, are of the superb quality I expect from NB, and are the closest in style to my favorite pair of shoes of all time, the New Balance MW749, which I was saddened to learn had been discontinued (had I known, I would have bought several pair to stash away).  I also have owned several pair of the black leather workout shoes, and have found New Balance as a brand to be beautifully made, eminently comfortable, and well worth the price. They also age very gracefully, looking lived-in but never worn down.
