As a woman with very wide feet - 3E or 4E depending on the manufacturer - my pediatrician advised me to wear men's tennis shoes as they are wide and will give me more heel space. Welcome to New Balance! While each style may vary slightly depending on what it's made of, I'm very happy with all of my New Balance styles, both in terms of looks and comfort. Being a 9.5 male, I can't always look for "cute" stylish women's shoes, so they fit me.
