Review on New Balance Womens 860V11 Medium Sports & Fitness by Marc Burke

I had an ankle and foot sprain and bought new shoes with better support. I'm on my feet all day at work and mostly buy Adidas Ultra Boosts. I have about 10 pairs. I thought maybe I should try New Balance as some podiatrists recommend it. I was excited to try NB Fresh Foam 860 despite the bad reviews that it has a tighter sock compared to the previous line. Anyway I try it on and the right boot fits perfectly but the left boot was very tight in the toe area. It was very uncomfortable. I've never had new shoes that are so different from the left and right pairs. I made the laces as loose as possible and even tried replacing my socks with much thinner ones, but the left boot still hurt. I was very disappointed because the shoes look so beautiful as you can see in the picture. But I didn't send it back. I ended up gifting it to my mom who wears a size 5 but the size 6.5 I gave her fits comfortably. I received the gray pair the next day and had no problems with them. I find it weird that it's the same shoe but the fit isn't the same. I don't think I will buy more NB because of the mismatch.
