I used to be able to just look at a pair of New Balance shoes at Revain and then just buy them based on: (+) My extra wide foot (4E)(+) Something that looks cool (+) Reasonable price The last time I bought a Revain New Balance was three years ago and oh my god how everything has changed. While selecting shoes that would normally have a high likelihood of fitting, I kept reading reviews that said New Balance had changed their definition of wide feet. Many reviewers said what used to be 4E is now actually narrower. So I read a lot of reviews to see if I could put together information that would enable me to crack the code, ie find out what changed in 4E. I spent a whole week on this and almost gave up. I ended up using the Fit: As Expected (71%) statistic, which actually gave a rough performance. I have found shoes based on the usual characteristics. , style, color, etc. and then I ranked them based on the "fit" data. And that's how I came across the New Balance Fresh Foam Evare V1 Men's Running Shoe. a group of people who appeared to have received the shoes for free in exchange for a free product. At this point I was very angry so I went ahead and hit the buy button. Everything is forgiven.
