Oh, New Balance MT876OR, what a giant tongue you have!

I was looking for red sneakers, just trying to get out of my usual pattern and red seemed like a good choice. I really loved the construction of the MT876OR but the tongue was too long. I have wide feet, 4E, and the tongue would never stay tucked. I hardly needed these for keeping out debris while out running on the trail, because I don’t run! So it’s original purpose of keeping out debris was never quite useful.

On a related note, I just found out I can return shoes for up to 365 days at onlineshoes.com, who knew! I have a pair of ill fitting New Balance MO1320GT that I’m going to return. This will help subsidize my next purchase. They were a really nice looking shoe but they ran a bit too narrow for my hobbit-like feet!
