- Are these shoes good for everyday walking?
- Yes. The firm polyurethane midsole and Ortholite insole suit steady daily walks on pavement and errands. They are less springy than cushioned running-style walkers.
- Do they fit true to size?
- They generally run true to size, and the narrow and wide options help if your usual size feels tight or loose. Try your normal New Balance walking shoe size first.
- Are they waterproof?
- No. The leather resists light splashes but the shoe has no waterproof membrane, so it is not suited to rain or wet trails.
- How do they compare with mesh walking shoes?
- They are heavier and firmer but more supportive and durable. Mesh shoes breathe better and feel lighter; these suit walkers who want structure.
- What is the Ortholite insole?
- It is a cushioned foam insole that adds comfort and manages moisture. It is removable, so you can swap in your own orthotics.
- Are they good for wide feet?
- Yes. They come in narrow, standard and wide widths, which is broader than most walking shoes offer.
