These New Balance kicks come in a whopping four widths, including both wide and extra wide. “I have very wide feet, which limits my choice of footwear, so I’m incredibly loyal to New Balance,” says Talley Sue Hohlfeld, Glamour’s copy director. “The 577s are classic-looking and comfortable for everything I do (now that I’ve stopped jogging). They have enough curve to the sole to provide support for walking. But they’re sedate, which is what I want in my sneakers. I’m on my seventh pair, I think—when the sole gets worn, I go online and search for the best price, and the replacements come in the mail. That’s how much I trust them. Then I rotate the old pair into the ‘painting clothes’ bin.” The retro, sporty look means they’re guaranteed to look good with just about anything, including low-key black leggings.
