    Quality
  

*by L***J on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2013*

I normally buy $60 sneakers.  There is a significant difference when you pay at least double that amount.  They are most comfortable.I was somewhat disappointed in the laces.  I expected better.Normally sneakers last me about six months.  I will write back on their quality at that time.So far, so good._______________________________________________________________________________________________Have now had them for 6 months.The black sole wraps around the front of the shoe to the top of the toe area.  On both shoes it is separating from the leatherette type stuff it is glued to.  Poor design and quality.The shoes got somewhat dirty, and there is no way we have found to properly clean them.  You are therefore walking around with a $150 pair of sneakers that look like you just picked them out of the garbage.I wore these as dress sneakers, and not real often, and still the above two things happened.A most comfortable shoe, but not worth anywhere near the money.  There are better sneakers out there for a lot less money.  I bought a pair of Puma sneakers since and they seem to be holding up extremely well and are easy to clean at half the price.

    The worst pair of shoes I ever purchased
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2014*

First, I want to make it clear that I'm a big fan of New Balance shoes - I've worn them for many years and they've always fit perfectly and were of high quality.  I usually buy middle of the pack New Balance shoes as sold in the local discount shoe stores.  This time, I decided that if those shoes were great, these top of the line models would be superb.  What a mistake!  These shoes were advertised as D width and labeled as D width.  Out of the box, they looked extremely narrow and holding them up to my other shoes showed that the soles and uppers were 3/8 to 1/2" narrower than the other D width NB shoes I have.  When I put them on, they were so narrow that I could barely squeeze my foot into them, even with the thinnest socks I own.  The laces were also very odd - flat white as we used to see in athletic shoes, but strangely stretchy and much too long.  These are beyond a doubt the worst shoes I've ever tried.  The name "Classic Sneaker" is exceptionally misleading - I've been buying "sneakers" for 60 years and these shoes bear no resemblance to any of those.  Run away from these!

    Made in the USA!
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014*

These shoes fit great. I don't work out in them but I don't see why you couldn't. They are extremely comfortable (and lightweight for New Balances). I've owned several other New Balances and these are much more comfortable and form-fitting.The thing I love best about these is the fact that they are made in America and still affordable. It's a sense of pride to be able to wear American made sneakers again without paying an arm and a leg.Lastly, the color combination on these is great. Many New Balances are a little loud for me but these are a nice navy on blue combination that looks great with jeans, shorts or even khakis!
