The shoe model NB Evare is the perfect solution to my foot problems. Very high arches and instep, plantar fasciitis and arthritis in the big toe. I increased the size by 1/2 based on the reviewer's recommendations. They fit well with my orthopedic insoles and leave room for maneuver. I also have two pairs of women's versions. Thought it was because New Balance discontinued the model I had in stock. Very very happy with this shoe design.
