text: I have owned the traditional New Balance walking shoes before which were extremely comfortable.  I ordered a 7W.  This shoe fit like it was about a 6.5 narrow or a 6 regular.  When I started shopping for walking shoes, I decided I wanted an updated, fashionable color.  New Balance needs to stick with the plain colored shoes that they make so well.  I felt like these were a cheap, China made pair that are sold solely to satisfy the niche customers who want an updated look.  NB needs to stick with what they do best.
