I use this sneaker for cardio and strength/circuit training and love them. This sneaker delivers all-around comfort. No pinching, constricting, or pain. A lot of support in the ball of the foot and the heel. Ankle feels secure and comfortable, not wobbly or mobile. Great sneaker for people who want an all-around comfortable sneaker that stands up to all sorts of physical fitness.

Shoe Size: Felt full size smaller than marked
Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Never had NB shoes that I didn't like before these. They were much shorter than the usual size 9. Also, the extra wide size did not seem extra wide. Material seemed cheap, as well.
Wears this shoe: I would have worn it for anything.

I didn't like the color but otherwise it is a good shoes. Good fit, good stability. The sole is made solid instead of a break between the sole and the heel. I don't like that look. Otherwise a great shoe.
Wears this shoe: Every day
Great shoes

I love the new shoe laces that resemble rick rack and don't untie. Very comfortable, lots of cushy sole.
Wears this shoe: my daily 3 mile walk and to work standing on concrete all day.
