I originally bought this sneaker in 1998 and loved it then. I just bought it for the second time last week. I'm kicking myself for not staying with this sneaker EVERY YEAR since 1998. I'm sure something on it has been updated/changed since then. But it seems exactly the same in styling, cushoning, comfort, etc.

I've been suffering foot, ankle, & calf pain for about 1.5 yrs. A podiatrist friend told me to start with a website to find shoes that best accomodate my foot type. He thought my pain could be fixed by changing my running shoe. The website told me to step into water (covering both feet) then step onto layered paper towels to see my foot print. If the entire area between the heel and toes are wet, then I'd have flat feet. If there were no wetness btw toes & heels I'd have high arches. [theres different levels in between the two].

Thus, I found out I have VERY flat feet & have been using running shoes designed for high-arches. The website recommended about 7-8 different sneakers for me. Right at the top of the list were the NB_587 sneaker that I loved so much 10 years ago.

Looks are always important in a shoe & the NB_587 not only do looks amazing but are VERY COMFORTABLE too! The rollbar & Abzorb technology really make this a must have for anyone with flat feet. I plan on purchasing 2-3 more, and storing them, in case New Balance decides to change the style on them.

p.s. The New Balance 992 is also recommended for flat feet. But, that shoe has a little too much different blue color shades. The blue around the sole, side, & back are a different shade than the webbing across the toes. Looks great online but weird in person. If you like black sneakers I'd recommend those comfy shoes.

I have worn this model New Balance shoe for several years. I use prescription orthotics, and this is one of the few shoes I have found that accommodates them comfortably. In fact, they were recommended by my podiatrist. They are the most comfortable all around shoes I have found, and they hold up extremely well.

Great shoe...I probably didn't need to get the 2E size...they are a little wide but they feel great.

I purchased this pair based upon the excellent reviews it had received. It lived up to the hype, and I'm very happy with this purchase.

The New Balance Men's M587 is extremely comfortable to wear, and it has a massive sole to support and balance your feet properly during running. It can worn both at the gym and are great for casual wear as well.

Two thumbs up from me...highly recommended!

These shoes fit great, especially for someone with size 14 4E. The other nice thing is these shoes are breathable so they don't make my feet sweat. I wear them as casual shoes with shorts. If I used for running, I would have to wear a really thick sock. Very satisfied overall!
