My husband ask me to order these shoes for him from the shoes he currently has. I read the reviews and was concerned but, as a creature of habit, he wanted the exact shoe to replace his current one. The shoe arrived promptly, was the correct size and fits him like his previous MX602V2 shoe. Obviously, he had no issues with the previous shoe or he would not have wanted the same pair. One thing I noticed about this shoe was that, while his other pair was made in China, these shoes were made in U.S.A.  Perhaps New Balance paid attention to the consumers complaints?
