I have orthotics and therefore am always looking for a good shoe that is supportive and that I can put my orthotics in.  I have used the New Balance product for many years, but this shoe is by far the best one so far.  My heal pain has all but gone away and they were comfortable from the moment I tried them on.  I also like that they came in wider sizes.  If anyone is looking for a comfortable, sturdy shoe, I would recommend these.
