Catalyst Sneaker - Multiple Widths Available

The shoes are overall comfortable for training at the gym. I cant tie the laces snug without them hurting the tops of my feet. Especially when the foot is flexed. I have been wearing NB shoes for over a decade and this is the first shoe I had where the outer material is so stiff (not like my 880's) that the material doesn't 'give'. So with some adjustments I got them where they need to be . Not a deal breaker! I am normally a ladies size 8 but always size up to accommodate the NB arch support inserts. That said, I sized up to 8.5 wide and they fit well, albeit a tiny bit too big (hence me trying to tighten the laces). If I had the chance to order again I'd order my true size (but still select wide to add the inserts).

Have only worn Skechers up until I tried this pair of New Balance. This is my second pair. They are extremely comfortable and my feet no longer hurt at the end of the day. Only request I have is I would love to see this comfort in a more fashionable sneaker like Skechers. Looking forward to buying a third pair!
