Great looks and comfort. Available in a variety of sizes (Thank you NB for making a 12.5)! Seemed a little wide in the toe box area, but that doesn't really cause any problems for me.

Great Stability!Great Shoe, feels very stable. Runs a little bigger than typical 12s, but NB usually do for me. Also, has some built in padding along the outside of the footbed which may feel a little weird at first but gives great support once you start working out in them. Would highly recommed, but compare with a half size smaller before you commit.

Pure Comfort - I was looking for a comfortable shoe after having foot surgery. This shoe is great. I'm on my feet all day (Personal Trainer). I could do without the clear plastic on the toe box. But it's not a big deal. I buy New Balance because I wear orthotics. And they're very accommodating.
