1) Tried and true NB fit. I have always worn a single NB size and this shoe is no exception. Perfect fit to size provided you already know what New Balance size fits you.
2) Soft as a pillow. At first I was expecting some rough feel since this is a fairly heavy shoes and meant for trails but after wearing it for a week, it's quite amazing. Extremely soft feel on every step during trail hiking.
3) Never got tired feet with this shoes. Great feel and wears much lighter than the picture would indicate. It looks bulky and the specs shows a normal to heavy shoes but wears like a feather.
Cons
------------
1) Not the cheapest of shoes.
2) Bulking looking.
Note
-----------
This review is based on my walking/hiking experience in this shoes and not running.

I picked these up as really my only option. I like a wide toe box on my shoes, most shoes have gone away from that so that leaves me buying a 2E width. This was really the only trail runner I could find in that size. Its got too much padding/stability built in for my tastes and too much heal lift. I knew that going in, but it was my only option. Took them on my first hike this weekend and the tread blocks are already ripping off or pealing. Given, this was a rocky wash and would be tough on any shoe. But this is the worst wear I have seen on any of my New Balance shoes. The quality and fit have been heading down hill for the past two years. If you don't want a barefoot type running shoe, you have almost no options. If you are going to stick to roads and dirt/light duty trails, they may hold together. But you better like all the stability stuff built in, I actually find them a little odd feeling on pavement.
