This is one of the most exciting New Balance shoes I have owned in a while. They look both classic as well as very cool and I feel like they would be at home in both casual situations/ errands as well as at work. The workmanship is excellent and the outsole appears very durable. They are as comfortable as any of the 900 series and have the right amount of cushioning for both every day wear as well Sargon789 · dickssportinggoods.com

1.) Comfort: When I first put these on I notice how extremely comfortable they are. I wear a size 15 with a wide food (usually EE). I wore these during a lengthy work day that included a period standing for about 4.5hrs. My lower back lasted longer than in these shoes than any other. At some point the sides of my feet started hurting but it was well into the 4th hour. 2.) Look: I love the look! Th Christopher · store.nike.com
