New Balance Mens FRESH FOAM X 840 Casual Comfort Sock Sneakers

I'll be honest, I almost sent these shoes back. I am glad I didn't. These were my first purchase of shoes designed for walking. At first they felt weird in that the shoe is designed for your heel to sit lower than the front of your foot. It almost feels like you're leaning back on your heels. I couldn't see how this was good for walking. Also, the entire sole is much thicker than my other pairs of NB shoes for tennis. I decided to keep them, and I'm glad I did. I wear them everyday when I walk my dog for our usual 1-2 mile walk. Every outing the shoes felt less weird and more supportive. By the 4th day I felt completely comfortable. I've owned them for a month and now really enjoy wearing them daily.

My other favorite shoe for diabetes. I find that the cushion in the sole of the shoe is not aggressive like some other shoes, by this I mean a bit flatter and still with plenty of cushion and support. I was able to heal a couple of foot ulcers wearing this shoe. This and the 1080V14 are the only two shoes that I wear now. For me personally, I'm all in with New Balance. I no longer have to wear the Hoka or Brooks, which are great companies with great shoes, but after years of going back n forth, New Balance is the best for me.
