I have an irritated nerve in my foot (Morton's neuroma) and I can play softball in these shoes. I wish the next width was available, but you can't find these damn things online or in retail stores. I'm lucky with the pair I have but I can't find a wider pair or even another pair of the same shoes. The softball guys asked where they could get them, so I told them this story. Nobody could find her. I'm on several NB sites on Facebook and no one is responding. What the heck is New Balance thinking?
