[QUOTE="AlwynWellington, post: 1173261, member: 13479"] I started my shoe search when I started training in 2012. Early in the game I was diagnosed as needing pronate support. I already knew I needed the widest possible fitting. And I wanted an upper that was both a flexible and very breathable. After a bit of trial I found New Balance model 860. As well taking the widest fitting, I also increased the length to get further width. To help fill up the extra length/front toe space, I wear larger sized (knee height) hose pressure hose (varicose veins) and and pull the surplus material forward. I alighted on the 860 with version 5 in mid 2015. Replacements for me are after about 800 km with the v11 that I discarded last week having done over 1,000 km. The flexibility and breathability of the upper is demonstrated each time I walk along a 15 km stretch of beach on one of my training routes with at least four streams to wade though. After about 500 metres from each stream my feet feel absolutely grand, with any heat generated helping to dry the hose. The new pair go with me next week back to France to continue the Via Francigena as far into Italy as I desire, then to a number of routes in the UK.
