I want to wear shoes that look good, but at some point you have to wear shoes that fit. I wear 11.5 on most other brands but here 12.5 is still too narrow in width and length. My thumb only rests on the front. They also seem to have an inward curvature, which makes walking or running seem rather odd. Maybe it's my foot but this is my second try on New Balance and I find them a bit strange I think. Look nice though.
