After trying another style (which I returned) I called New Balance and found that the WW968 replaces this style with a minor modification in the size of the toe box (Deeper). This shoe is built on the al2 last. If you like it go to the New Balance site, type al2 in the search box and find OTHER New Balance walking shoes that should fit well if you like these! If you are a strange size (12E?) some of this model are available on discount sites. Just do a search of the style number. I read New Balance the riot act for D/Cng these WONDERFUL shoes.
