I get a lot of crap for my New Balances, but they did 26km of meadow hiking and no problems on the feet. Thats a win in my book.

I dont remember what model I got, but they were a mesh top, and where the mesh met the sole busted out almost immediately. I have slightly wide feet and bought a standard width pair, so I suspect that was part of the problem, but I certainly wouldn’t have expected them to blow out after less then two weeks or so.
The wider width offerings is why I became a fan. NB and Skechers are two that seem to have a lot of options in 4 EE.
I’m not allowed “cool shoes” because I require arch support. Both NB and Sketchers have specialized shoes that accommodate that, are comfortable, and reasonablely priced.
But I really want them to provide some styles that have good arch support that doesn’t radiate “old man orthopedics”.
It’s too bad because NB had a custom shoe designer page where you could build your own and it would be made in the USA.
They were a little expensive but worth it if you had special requirements. I’m pretty sure Covid killed that though.
