I chose this product because of New Balance's propensity to make their shoes comfortable for wide feet. The shoes are very comfortable and ther wide toe box works well for my feet. My feet feel really good when I'm done with a round of golf. I live in Hawaii where I wear slippers (flip-flops) everyday and only put on shoes when I'm on the golf course, and I'm glad these are the ones I wear. They have the right amount of traction and feel very much like a regular sneaker on your feet. Highly recommend! Thank you New Balance. Another quality shoe.
