As posted elsewhere the 857 is in a word &#34;junk&#34;.  Low quality and lousy fit.  Specifically the soles on three pairs I have ordered to replace my old 856's ALL had the soles separate within a year or less.  In order to get a pair that were not just flat too narrow (ordered the same exact size as the 856s) I had to order the 2E width, and they were actually a little too wide.<br /><br />I've read the comments about manufacturing moving overseas and considering the drastic drop in quality of the product, it makes sense.  Cheap labor, cheapens the product!<br /><br />No more New Balance products for me.
