I am getting PT because I have MS that has weakened my leg. My therapist recommended this model because it is light weight. I also have a prolapse ankle and it has helped with that also.

I usually like New Balance because of the wide sizes but these were too big. Not impressed at all and the color is almost a mucky grey tan. I also ordered the Nike Pegasus same size 9.5 wide and love them. Yes, they are more expensive but our feet are very important! Good luck.

Great running shoe, super light weight. Can barely feel the extra weight when you're running! One thing is that they're super comfortable when you're in action - but when you're just kind of standing around, not so much. As soon as you get back up and go though, you're golden!

These shoes were wide enough, but just barely. The heel was way too wide for my needed narrow heel and wide toebox combination. The heel rubbed into the Archilles' tendon as well. Beautiful color, style, and materials. I really wish they had fit.

These shoes are super comfy, but it took a few days to break them in. They have a wider toe box and not much arch support, which is fine for me. They do have plenty of cushioning, and I am using them as a less expensive alternative to running shoes. So far so good!

About New Balance
Since the days of selling arch supports to police officers and waiters, New Balance has been a brand concerned with meeting the needs of the everyday athlete. In pursuing this goal, they developed an "Endorsed By No One" philosophy, which holds that a superior product will sell itself better than any superstar athlete ever could. Part of producing New Balance shoes and athletic clothing is manufacturing it to fit all widths and sizes, because a better fit produces better performance.
To ensure the best fitting, best performing shoes and clothes, New Balance focuses on improving their technology and production methods. A big part of that is maintaining five manufacturing facilities here in the United States where they continue to produce New Balance shoes and apparel that meet the standards they've employed for 100 years. They have also remained committed to a core set of values that include integrity, teamwork and total customer satisfaction.

These felt narrow in the toes, even though they are marked wide. Also the middle of the shoes around the arch area was digging into my feet.
