This shoe seemed quality enough, but just didn't fit me comfortably. This is my first experience with New Balance. I ordered a little wider then average to accommodate my bunion, and ordering my regular size 10. The wldth across the widest part of my foot was good but the width as the shoe continued down towards my toes on the outer side of foot narrowed so much that all my toes were squished. The length was also a half size too small. I was tempted to keep them knowing that leather eventually stretches, but I need a good trail shoe now so will keep looking.
