Customer Reviews:
Nice all around running shoeSeptember 5, 2008 Jeffrey E. Kaufman(Berkeley, CA) Everyone's foot is different. My wife always buys Nike because they fit her foot well. But they are too narrow for me. New Balance shoes fit me just right. The 479 has a cozy heal cup while slightly wider in the front. The arch hits just the right place. I use them for both trail and street running. The shoes are light yet offer plenty of support and cushion the impact well.
By the way, Amazon is less expensive than REI and Sports Authority.
