Summary: Good cheap pair of shoes, may not be for everything
Comment: I just purchased these shoes (the black color scheme) and have gone on two or three walks, totaling 3 or 4 hours, with them.
Like any and all New Balance shoes I have owned, they are quite comfortable. The sole provides a lot of support, and all of the materials in this shoe are soft and comfortable. The tread seems a little thin compared to some shoes, but it is not noticeable when walking, and I am thinking that it may perhaps last a tad longer than thicker but softer treads.
Compared to another pair of New Balance shoes I own, the ankle is not quite as supportive. This is something I haven't gotten used to yet, but I think is just a function of the different style and intent of this shoe model. The other pair was more "cross training," where this shoe seems aimed towards a more casual "walking" user.
Despite this difference, the price is certainly right here. $32 really can't be beat in the current market, especially with free shipping.
