When they arrived the very next day after ordering, even though it was a Sunday, I was very happy to give these to my husband. They look very nice in the Navy. My husband tried them on and they fit perfectly. I ordered his normal size. He started wearing them the very next day. When he arrived home he told me the shoes were excellent and extremely comfortable. He was and still is very happy with them. It has been approximately two months now since I've ordered them and they are still as perfect as they were the first day. My husband wears these shoes every day, all day, until he gets home and/or when he's not wearing his memory from Adidas flip-flops.
Thank you so much for making the perfect shoe for the perfect man! I am so happy I purchased these for my husband and when he needs a new pair, I will be purchasing new balance for him again, for good!
They are still fairly light weight - the pair weighs just 28 ounces, but they are not totally mesh like many shoes have become. But they retain enough mesh to provide great breathing and minimize heat, while providing the lighter weight. These shoes have a suade looking leather with the mesh which looks great as well. An added bonus, and in fact I bought another pair to kick around in for casual wear. Since wearing these shoes going on two weeks, I haven't had a single instance of partial ankle turns on uneven surfaces and what recuring ankle pain I did have has almost totally gone away. They shoes come up slightly higher on the ankle than my Asics did - about to the lower level of the ankle joint which for me is perfect. Also they provide great heal support. Of course as normal with all shoes of this type, dumping the junk insoles that come with the shoes and replacing with a good insole is a must to maximize comfort and support. I personally wear fitted orthonics, but certainly not a must for most people. The soles are a bit stiff feeling compared to previous shoes, but I like this as well, as that is what helps provide the extra support.
Overall, this a superbly designed and constructed shoe and a great buy for the price.

The price was similar to store price. I only saved five dollars. But it’s hard to find size 15 shoes in stores.
