text: I actually liked the shoe, but it was too tight at the toes and sides. I've been wearing size 12 for the past 50 yrs. (including New Balance), and never had any problems with fit until now. These are not a size 12! I received a pair of Asics in this order as well, and they fit fine. No big deal, I figured I'd just return them and get size 12.5 to replace them, only to find out New Balance doesn't have a 12.5. Now I'm ticked off! Wasted my time. Beware of this shoe, the size complaints are FOR REAL! No more New Balance for me, there are plenty of other fish in the sea.
