New Balance's best effort in the 960 something series of the "Country Walker" was around 2004 or 2005 with the 964. Since then each new succeeding model (965 through 968) has gotten cheaper looking, worse fitting and progressively uglier. I actually bought the 964 model 3 times in a two year period. It wore out fairly quickly but was comfortable and snug enough for my narrow foot. It wasn't a "great shoe" but it was one of the very few "outdoor" style shoes available in a "B" width that I could get a decent fit with and was reasonably good looking and didn't aggravate my plantar fasciitis. Come on New Balance, bring that shoe back and gain a customer back. I won't hold my breath though. New Balance hasn't impressed me at all in recent years. Zappos remains no. 1 in customer service, when they actually have my size in the desired shoe.

Great walking shoe. I walk two to three miles per day and they are very comfortable and provide excellent support. It is hard to find xx wide shoes locally and I am very satisfied with these.

Just received this shoe. Color is so dark it looks grey. Looks nothing like the nice brown look in the photo. Tan outer sole, but dark grey in the body.

These shoes are very comfortable and sturdy once they were broken in. The construction appears to be very durable and resistant to scuffs, although I haven't used them enough long-term to be sure. As for style, I think this shoe is the perfect blend of versatility -- I can wear it to most events without it looking too casual, and yet it has a nice walking shoe feel to it. Nothing's more frustrating than a shoe that is comfortable but looks too sporty or casual to where you can't use it as much as you want. I had bought the predecessor to this shoe, which ran narrow in the normal width, and I had to return it. So when I bought this one, I was reluctant to get the normal width, but at the time, wide wasn't available, so I got extra-wide, which feels just a bit wide for me. Since I'm normally fine in a normal width or wide, I think this shoe must run closer to true size than its predecessor.

Fit and support are really good. If I were to nitpick anything, these could use the usual New Balance lace restraint on the tongue that helps to hold the tongue in position. I have already given these a good trial in Indian Peaks Wilderness. I use a custom orthotic insole.
