text: These shoes are exceptionally comfortable, so much so, that after I bought a pair and wore them, I purchased a second pair.  I used to buy only New Balance, but it seems their sizing is all over the place, and the last couple of pairs seemed to be, well, lets just say didn't hold up, so disappointing.  But these shoes here cradle my feet.  I also like that they came with 2 sets of shoe strings, one set is white, the other set is blue.  I'm very happy with these shoes.
