I work in a warehouse and I'm on my feet for 10 hours or more so I need shoes that requires minimal break-in. I sometimes wear shoes that has holes or too worn because I hate breaking in shoes at work. I have a hard time looking for shoes because my feet are big and wide. Other shoes that claimed to be wide still squishes my little toe. I bought this one not expecting much. The price was right and it has mostly 5 star rating so I figured what the heck, right?I was so surprised on my first day wearing because it didn't hurt my feet. I was so stoked to have found shoes that was that comfortable, I went and bought another one (phantom color). Although the title says 'New Balance women's Veniz v1 fresh foam Running Shoe' - I wouldn't suggest this shoes for working out especially if you're doing a lot of running or jumping because the soles are not made for that. Probably needs an insert before you do. Tried to run in these and my knees didn't thank me for it. It is perfectly fine for walking around or standing for long periods of time though, which is what I'm looking for so I give it 5 stars. It is lightweight, sturdy and comfortable.
