If the Shoe Fits
Jul. 25th, 2014 10:46 pmI have worn a New Balance 13 EEEE for years now.
This size no longer fits.
This is not because my feet have gotten larger. It is because New Balance is, for some perverse reason, making their shoes narrower. I measured the sole of an older pair of New Balance 13 EEEE shoes against a new pair and the new pair was markedly narrower.
I have a new pair of 13 EEEEEE shoes from New Balance now. They are exactly the same width as the older 13 EEEE shoes that I was wearing.
Well, at least I have shoes. Although the number of choices in 6E is pretty limited...
