text: I have been wearing 4E width shoes from New Balance now for a few years and have had great luck with them. I had 2 different Minimus style running shoes in the past. I just got these about a week ago and have been wearing them for a few days in a row. I wear a 11.5 4E and I decided to order 12 4E just in case. The shoes were smaller than I expected, but they still gave me room at the end of the shoe. The shoe is a little narrow at the joint where my big toe connects to my foot. the first day i wore the, my feet were a little uncomfortable, but I wore them tied a little more loose and wore them a whole day and my feet  felt fine. I think they just need a good break in and then you will be fine. Even though the shoe is a little narrow the shoe will stretch and it won't be noticeable. I would recommend getting an arch support insole if you have higher than normal arches. Other than that I like the shoes a lot. They look great and they are comfortable. I would just recommend buying 0.5 to 1 size larger.
