Solid fit
Originally posted on New Balance US
These shoes are a really good fit for someone with the need of wide shoes. The soles on this model hold up well to a larger man.

GREAT 15K 20K steps a day
Originally posted on New Balance US
Took them for a Vacation in Europe, walked 15K to 20K steps a day and they worked great.

Ok trainers
I’ve had these trainers before but a slightly different version. They were so comfortable I wanted another pair. These are light and cushioned well but the heel cup has hard edges that can dig into your ankle bones. I’m slowly trying to soften them. I’m only using them for walking, couldn’t imagine running in them with the rubbing! Love the colour though so will keep persevering.

Sneakers were way too small. There was no way they were a woman’s nine.
