This pair made number 4 of my collection of 327s. I love them that much! I'm a high school teacher of 29 years and am always on my feet. 327s are by far the most comfortable and supportive tennis shoes I have ever worn, and I have tried Ons and Hokas in the past. They also look fabulous with casual dresses or with a blouse & pants. I also love, love the heel wrap to protect the back of the shoe fr AshS · newbalance.com
