Team Adam's Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Personally the only brand of running shoe I wear, the quality of their product is unmatched and furthermore they are the only athletic shoe company still manufacturing shoes in the US. Not only do they make excellent running shoes, but these lightweight and comfortable foot coverings make excellent detailing shoes!! I spend many hours on my feet at clinics and shows... every time I have New Balance Shoes on my feet. <object width='425' height='344'><param name = 'movie' value = 'http://www.newbalance.com/assets/videoplayer/videoplayer.swf?videoID=v4af443a815cdc&' ></param><param name = 'allowFullScreen' value='true'></param><param name = 'allowscriptaccess' value='always'></param><embed src = 'http://www.newbalance.com/assets/videoplayer/videoplayer.swf?videoID=v4af443a815cdc&' type = 'application/x-shockwave-flash' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='344'></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z71_Denali Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 i just bought my first pair of New Balance shoes... they are extremely comfortable. i tried on Nike and Reebok at the same time and nothing felt as comfortable, and they were cheaper!!!

Team Adam's Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 I've been running distance since I was in middle school... my father ran the first 10 consecutive Los Angeles Marathons... so based on his advice my training shoes were New Balance. I can't imagine running in anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightMare Silverado Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I only wear DC shoes for daily use. I'm on my feet 8-12 hrs a day as I work in a warehouse and they are the only shoes that don't destroy my feet. When I go fishen and stuff like that I have a pair of Marine issue desert combat boots and they are really comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormChaser Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 For the last 10 years I have always been a fan of New Balance. I don't like the women's shoes as they are always too "busy" looking. But I seriously love the shoe below. MC804 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjcin Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have worn NB running shoes for years. I love that they are made in USA. What turned me on to them the first time was that you can buy them in widths. With wide feet, it's hard to get comfy shoes from other companies. Spend it where you make it.

Sooners Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Okay, so what gives? Is it just some of their production that is in the US? Since I saw this post, I went and grabbed by pair of NB shoes, and they say Made in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Okay, so what gives? Is it just some of their production that is in the US? Since I saw this post, I went and grabbed by pair of NB shoes, and they say Made in China. They maintain 5 factories here in the US... some of their originals. According to them a good percentage of what is sold here in the US is made here in the US, but of course to stay competitive and keep those other 5 factories competitive they have to produce some in other parts of the world. I can sympathize with that as long as they are keeping workers in 5 American factories employed. I believe they even list the models that are made in the US somewhere on the site... all 3 pairs I currently have are marked MADE IN THE USA.

Team Adam's Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 At the bottom of this page it has a list of which models are made in the USA... if you shop at a local new balance outlet (I do) they usually designate the models on the floor as well. http://www.newbalance.com/usa/#/made-in-usa I maintain, SOME US manufacturing is better than NO US manufacturing. At least they're trying where Nike and others could care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Slow Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I've worn New Balance for a long long time. I have wide feet, 11 EEEE. Only New Balance regularly has shoes of this width. Our lab has concrete floors and I have walked many miles in my New Balance. In my closet are 5 pairs of New Balance, 3 from the US of A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
