Cons

The main problem there seems to be with the New Balance MX 409 is that there are problems concerning the sizes that are being made as many customers have been using New Balance for years and find that the older sizes use to be a perfect fit, but the newer shoe is a bit narrower than the previous makes when purchasing. This has been causing a bit of discomfort when the core trainer has been purchased online. This could be, because many of these shoes have been imported from other countries and shoe sizes differ with the USA standard shoe size. We would suggest that when purchasing the shoe online that customers should buy a size bigger than they are use to.
