Review on Premium Performance: New Balance Gunmetal Dynomite Men's Athletic Running Shoes by Carl Lee

Bought these from Big 5 because they were the cheapest from New Balance (still expensive) and I liked the brand. The sole of the shoe is uneven, flexing at the edges. The memory foam is so uncomfortable when you walk for more than ten minutes at a time - too soft and presses on the sensitive areas of the foot. Worst of all, one of the loops wasn't sewn on properly and broke after minimal wear. I was trying to get warranty coverage because the seller's return period has expired. New Balance literally didn't even respond to my query through the online form, even though I attached a photo of the defect and purchase information. I can't imagine buying another New Balance shoe in my life when Asics and several other brands seem to make such consistently high quality products.
