I really like this shoe for the stability that it gives me after having a total knee replacement running shoes were recommended to wear. Very comfortable while walking around on my job I like the skid proof sole on waxed floors it is great yes I skid all the time. The take away for me in this shoe is the fitted sock like lining it really hugs your feet and me with thick ankles cannot wear socks with the shoes and yes it leaves the full pattern of the liner n your feet after removing the shoes and for that reason my daughter bought me a second pair but they are pretty although black they have a bluish fluorescent look . And they are made with the sock like linings anyway I have to say I get a lot of complements on the shoes and they are comfortable as I am walking hope to be able to run again. Oh let me say New Balance is the shoes to wear if you have to walk a lot at work and have feet and knee problems. I also have the NB fuelcell Echo Heritage I had this pair first in blue a petty blue that I had to wear to work and still wear on a occasion when my foot swells and I cannot get the sock lined shoe on. My knee replacement is going to be 7 months old soon so waiting for swelling in my legs and ankles to cease. Meanwhile I will keep wearing the New Balance Fuelcells they are worth the price like walking on air and I forgot to say they help propel your feet as you’re walking and while exercising they are great for the backwards moves.The price is reasonable I paid more for the Heritage on another shoe site full price as a matter of fact anyway Amazon’s price was a third cheaper.
