I have been wearing New Balances in the exact same size and width for 10+ years and these do not fit like the others.  I typically go through 3-4 pairs a year with no issues.  These were so painful to wear. Toes push up against the front of the shoes because there is too much padding on the bottom.  I would send them back but I was forced to wear them 3 times on vacation because I didn't pack another pair and had a good bit of walking to do.  Typically would give any New Balance 5 stars...but not these due to the fit.
