Starfish, I have a pair of Saucony and have owned others but Saucony and many other brands have heavy soles or at least heavy for me so lifting my feet and legs become more difficult.

New Balance has wide sizes (I also have wide feet) but new balance is lighter wieght (probably why I keep going back to New Balance )
The weight of sneakers is a big issue for me. I didn't realize that NB shoes were lighter. However, when I have bought them in the past, I found they were not narrow enough for me. Now I'm really wondering whether I should give them a try again. The Reeboks I'm wearing fit well, but I have such a struggle some days picking them up that I am constantly tripping over my toes.

Holly, good shoe stores have sales people who know how to adjust the fit of your shoes. Tongue pads are in all my shoes because I'm a narrow fit especially at the heels. They often put another layer under the insole to snug them up for me. It's amazing what those little adjustments can do and they never charge me for it.

This is why I love having a New Balance factory outlet close enough to get sneaks when I need them!

I have a friend who manages one and he is always there and helpful when I go there. They discontinued one sneaker I loved, very light and easy to walk in, and he figured out what the closest replacement was and fixed me up! I have wide feet ( ya think??? ) and size 12/13 shoes are hard to find. New Balance fits me AND my feet!
