text: This is my first New Balance product that I am a bit disappointed in and I have been wearing this brand for over 20 years because of the extra width availability. These were the latest version of another model that I really liked wearing but they no longer make.<br /><br />What's great: Lightweight, great support, feels like you're not even wearing anything<br /><br />Where it goes wrong: The tongue is actually stitched to the sides of the shoe and for me, even in the 2E width model, just makes it a bit too snug and uncompromising. Like all other sneakers, I'm sure it will stretch over time but I am used to having New Balance fit perfectly from the get-go.<br /><br />I would not buy another one of these in its current form of construction.
