I've never gone wrong with New Balance, either the cross trainers or the running shoes. Both have been the best sneakers I have ever had.

My military husband has run almost every day for the past 20 years and swears by New Balance.

Hard question to answer. Depends on the guy and the foot. How wide your foot is, whether you have high arches, if you plan to walk, run, or play tennis in the shoe.

I would suggest, if possible, to find a local running shoe store and go over and get specialized attention. Not like a "foot locker" or some place, but an athletic runniing store.

Here is a list of running shoe stores in the United States. Hopefully one is near to you.

As much as the Internet is fabulous for finding good deals, sometimes there's no substitute for pampering yourself with some good, old-fashioned customer service. Especially when it comes to clothing and shoes.
