I'm a loyal consumer of the brand, so I try to buy as much New Balance as possible. I love their brand and that they come in a variety of widths. I was a bit disappointed with the Battery Park slippers because I got a painful blister the first day I put them on, which is not usually the case with New Balance/Dunham shoes. Also, I love them and I hope the outsole will last a long time because I plan to wear it every day.
