| I've been wearing New Balance for as long as I can remember, they're the only sneakers that fit my weird feet right. I just went to search for a new pair of every-day wear sneakers and the few modelsI tried on felt kind of chinsy. Is it me, or are they slipping in quality? |

I lucked out yesterday at Sears. New Balance Shoes were on sale so I went to pick up two pairs one for $64 marked down to $29 The other set was $59 marked down to $29.......At the regiter the second pair rang up totally free! The manager was called over and confirmed that I was to get both pair for the price of only one set($29) WOW!

Some are made in China now. Not the cheap-o ones either. Whatever the ones I bought 2 months back were $100 and were made in china. I was pissed because I looked at all of their models except the one I bought to see where it was made. Figured that 6 out of 7 made in USA was a good chance that the ones I got were too, but apparently they were chinese.
Still wear good. I just did my first road race after starting running only 2 months ago. 5 mile turkey trot on thanksgiving. Only cut a 1hr 2mins, but there are a lot of hills, and I really did just get off my ass one day and said "start running you slob" and went at it. Next year, I'll do 42 mins.

Go online to their site and do a search for 'made in USA'. Those shoes are top notch quality. You sure about that? 
I used to wear NB but I could have sworn the last pair I bought were NOT made in USA. 
Something somewhere changed because the last pair I bought that were the same style/model/size of previous shoes I'd worn this new pair for some reason caused me a good deal of pain in my feet. They also work out funny on the inside towards the ball of my feet. I switched to something else. |
