Although this is designed to be a trail shoe, I have been wearing this style for the past 2 years as a training shoe and it's wonderful. It's very lightweight and it conforms to my foot and feels like I'm wearing slippers.

I have a hard time buying shoes. I am a woman with a size 11 foot. I have a narrow heel and a wide forefoot. These shoes fit very nicely. They lace up well to accommodate my heel without slipping around. The toe is pretty open with a light mesh keeping things cool and roomy.

This shoe is a great color! It hides the regular dirt and scuffs of my day to day errands. They're very comfortable and are holding up terrific. I wear them almost as much as my flip flops.
Joy can come with shoes!

Narrow shoes are difficult to find everywhere I shop. What a joy it is to have narrow New Balance shoes that actually fit my feet allowing me to do my exercise walking without foot pain. I also like the fashion statement of the light olive color trimmed in raspberry.

I was looking for a good replacement shoe for my Nike Frees -- something extremely light weight and good for my very flat feet. These worked out wonderfully. They're great for walking (my feet don't cramp anymore), running (soooo light), and dancing (agile!).
