I've worn New Balance for years due to wide feet. Usually the $50 all leather cross-trainers found at local sporting goods stores. I decided to upgrade this time. Was looking for a cross-trainer with good cushioning, solid support and breathable upper. Originally purchased the MX813, which isn't available in 4E but rather 2E width. It was a nice shoe but not wide enough. Spent a bit more than I wanted on the MX1012, but it was available in 4E. Super comfortable, fit was spot on. Nice footbed support and upper support. Really like the mesh upper on the forefoot. It's a looser weave than most which adds to the breathability. I've worn them only a week now, but find them very comfortable and I like the look (also available in white with grey and blue trim). They seem to be well constructed (time will tell). This is one of the New Balance models assembled in the USA, which I think adds to the quality (and to the price). Money well spent I think, and Amazon was having a shoe sale when I ordered so saved a few bucks.
