Really tight shoes
Nice looking shoes but to have athletes representing your shoes the comfort is poor and there is no arch support.

Skip the Nikes
I finally retired all of my Nike lifestyle shoes due to their narrow toe boxes and was looking for a stylish yet comfortable alternative. I am extremely happy with how comfortable and supportive these shoes are! I usually replace the insoles of my shoes with more supportive ones and did not need to with the 550s. Will definitely be sticking with New Balance for future foot purchases.
