This is the first time I have tried New Balance shoes. I have heard alot about them and people told me that their foot doctor told them to wear at least a 600 or better. Well being in the medical field I am on my feet all day long and see alot of people wearing these including my pts so I gave them a try. I was hooked from the first time I put them on. I was a total Birkenstock wearer casual and work and could not stand any other shoes. I have wide feet as well. Let me tell you these are true to size, fit beautifully and my feet and legs do not tire as easliy during the day. I even bought another pair for my husband and another pair for myself for casual wear. I really like the WW927 as I feel they have alot of support and almost propel you forward as you walk so my walking stride is much more supportive.
