Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

Ignore the suggestions to size up. This shoe seems to run pretty close to true to size. I ordered an 11 (never worn an 11 in my life), and they were huge (even after I put my orthotics in them). Thankfully, I also ordered a 10.5, which was better, but also still a little too large. No need to try again -- these shoes looked like I had bricks on my feet, and seemed fairly wide. I had to check to make sure I hadn't ordered a Wide (which I also never do, even though I have a slightly wide foot). These just looked terrible. When your foot is a size 10 (in sneakers), you tend to want shoes that don't make them look bigger than they already are. They bagged out at the arch, which made them look like bricks. Tightening the laces did nothing to remedy this.

Soles are too think and cushioned. There is such a thing as too much. The "support" in this shoe is like a designer misunderstanding what a foot actually needs. These are ridiculous. The foot does not have a natural heel to toe range of motion in this shoe. I don't know what happened to New Balance. I returned these.

These were a gift for my sister. She has a very high arch and also heel pain/plantar fasciitis. Her DPM recommended New Balance. My sister LOVES these shoes- the heels provide the cushioning she needs, and the arch support is firm while accommodating her higher arches. Jean said she almost cried when she received them because they feel so good and she's wearing them now! Walking is her exercise outlet, and now she can. Thank you!
