Great Deal New Balance Women's WR1011 Motion Control Running Shoe
I have worn NB shoes for as long as I can remember and have always felt like it was a good quality product, made to last, and a good compromise between top-notch technology and price.
I ordered this shoe in an 8 wide, because that's the size that I've worn in every other NB shoe I've owned. These were too short for me and my fred flintstone feet. I returned them and found an 8.5 instead. I found information on New Balance's Web site about the "lasts", which is the category for the wood or plastic basis that the shoe is designed around. Search their website to find out more; this will help ensure you order the right size. This also explains why some people have thought it runs small and others think it's true to size. This particular shoe is built on what is called the SL-2 last,which tends to be narrow in the heel, with a deep toe box, high instep, and wide forefront. The reason I mention this is because feet are different sizes and different shapes, and that shape can make a shoe feel large or small. For more information, do a search on NB Website for "Guide to Product Fit"; it will tell you all about the different lasts.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because, like many running shoes, it's ugly :)
This is a great shoe for the overpronator; it has helped greatly with my shin splints. I felt the difference immediately when I first used it. However, those who do not want or need pressure and stiffness in the midsole section of the shoe will not be happy with this style.

I had worn this particular brand before, so wanted to see if I could get them through Anazon. I did and am very happy with the shoes which have given me the most comfort since my two knee surgeries in the last three years! Thank you!
