These are the most comfortable shoes Iv'e ever worn. I wear 7 EE and the & 7 X-wide fit perfect. I have always had a difficult time finding shoes that fit, between my high arch and wide width in my toe box area, I have had to settle with quite a lot of not so perfectly fitting sneakers. I was also skeptical of the cloth on the top of the shoe as I have purchased other similar ones in the New Balance brand and after a couple of months a hole would wear through in the area of my big toe, very frustrating considering the price of running shoes. Iv'e had this pair since the end of November and they are in great condition. I'm a mail carrier for usps and on my feet all day and put quite a bit of mileage on them delivering packages. I Liked them so much that after making sure they were comfortable and would hold up well 3 months later I ordered two more pairs, as for some reason all the brands keep changing up the styles of there shoes even though their customers love them, go figure...
