I have another pair of New Balance Women's Walking Shoes which I am very pleased with, so I assumed, correctly, that the WWW901 in black that I ordered would fit as well, but would look less like a sneaker which is a plus on certain occasions. I also need narrow shoes which are hard to find.  New Balance offers a good selection of my size.  These shoes provide comfort in walking and a  wide toe area. New Balance was recommended by my Chiropracter, and I recommend them highly.
