It is a good shoe for the "SALE" price. Looks really good and feels pretty good. Actually runs about a half size small. After initial break in it feels better.

Not as comfortable as my current New Balance Basketball sneaks, but they are better than most others. I don't know why New Balance stopped making 4E, so this is the next best thing.

Once these shoes are on, they are THE BEST I've worn so far during this time of my life.
I've gained weight, had two knee replacements, and developed really weak ankles.
These shoes (and some custom orthotic inserts) give me such great stability and comfort in my ankles and feet, that my knees are no longer torqued and strained and fatigued so quickly.
These shoes have allowed me to get over a "hump" in my rehab from surgeries, and I think they should be standard V.A. issue shoes for knee rehab patients, especially those with diabetes.
The toe cavity is plenty big here, so if you are worried about that, don't.
Get a pair of the white too. The black ones shine up really nice, and if you take a marker and blacken the gray "N", you can wear them with casual slacks and few people if any will notice you have tennies on.
Also, my religious services are historically long--1-1/2 to 2 hours long and you stand a LOT. Though it is traditional at my church to remove your shoes, I wear these during services with my priest's blessing, and they allow me to remain focused and pain free for the entire service.
The only bad mark is that they are difficult to lace at first (different style of "eyelets", but if you take your time you will eventually learn how to put them on and take them off with minimal effort.

Nice looking shoe but runs a bit snug in the larger sizes so I returned them...
