text: This is an update from my earlier review.  I was initially pleased with the shoe, but over the past months, the shoe became simply unwearable.  Note that I have purchased many shoes in my days, and although I'm not much of a runner anymore, at one time I was very picky about my shoes.  I have had shoes I loved, and shoes that were just ok, but I have to say that this is the first pair that I had to stop wearing because of what it was doing to my feet.  This shoe has NO support whatsoever.  Maybe if you are flat-footed, this shoe is right for you.  I've never had a New Balance shoe before .... so maybe that manufacturer is just a bad match for me.  I have written many reviews here on Amazon, and 99% of them are positive, but I can't recommend this shoe.
