Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Enhance Your Walking Experience with New Balance MW978 Walking Brown Men's Shoes by Muleme Bollinger

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The new balance disappointed me. Again.

I've wanted to buy this pair of boots for over a year. This is an amazing mid-range boot. But the price was out of my reach. But then the price almost halved, so I bought it. But they come back. Sad. But the reason is simple, it's the wrong size. I'm 58 and have worn a 10.5 Wide (or 2E as some call it) since I was 13. Not only do I know what this size is like (namely THIS FITS), but I've been buying New Balance shoes specifically for hiking/walking etc for over 10 years because they work so well AND are one of the few manufacturers that offers large sizing. Actually, in March I just bought a pair of New Balance M1300v1 Men's Hiking Shoes Chocolate 10.5 2E USA. They fit great. It's not my leg that's growing etc otherwise they wouldn't fit. OK, I didn't really need new boots, I just liked them and the discount was significant. For the record, I went through this about 2 years ago when I purchased New Balance Men's PM4040v4 Molded Baseball Shoes, Navy/White, 10.5. 2E USA. Guess what? major strong! I returned them and got a size 11 2E and you know what? Slightly better but still too tight. I needed shoes so I stretched them and if I wear thin socks like tights they can be tolerated after 2 years of wearing them once a week during softball season. Moral in this story? Keep in mind. New Balance has a major labeling issue and at least this time they've lowered the price because it's an easier way to get a few bucks (still $90 on sale!) rather than switching labels.
