I also wear New Balance walking shoes. I have to be careful wearing them with one of my saddles because they get caught in the stirrup.
When I use running shoes for riding I have replaced the laces with the springy elastic type shoe strings that don't need tying to stay in place. This way, in an emergency, the shoe will come off. They stay put otherwise.

The horse could run faster than the deer, jump higher than the goat, and endure longer than the wolf. Man, being encompassed by elements that sought to destroy him, would have been a slave, had the horse not made him king."
