I’ve purchased WIDE New Balance tennis shoes in the past and these seemed more narrow than the others and the size seems to run slightly small. I had to adjust the laces pretty far out but they are long enough to accommodate a good tied bow. Shoes are very lightweight. The “cool” silvery gray color is great with my skin tone.After wearing them for a few hours my feet feel GREAT!! The shoes have a wonderful cushy heel and the support inside the shoe REALLY helps my recent issue with plantar fasciitis! The reason they felt tight at first is because I wasn’t accustomed to shoes with this level of arch support. If they continue to wear well I will be buying additional pairs!
