Review on New Balance Womens 847V3 Walking by Kwame Bandepalli

As someone who has favored New Balance for 20 years, this is a disappointing review. My wife has been wearing these shoes for less than 9 months and the tread just came loose and fell apart. I also had two pairs last year (a $150 pair and a $115 pair) that did the same thing. As for me, New Balance didn't endorse their product and told me "the sole fell apart on one of them because I kept it in the closet for almost a year without wearing it and the rubber dried out" , on one pair and another pair that did it was just worn out. I know that's not true because I still have a pair in my closet that no longer fits me that were bought 17 years ago but are structurally sound. Also, my wife has been wearing them since we bought them and the same thing has happened. Apparently some cheap glue or quality control process infected the new scale's manufacturing facility. I've never had a pair of cheap Chinese shoes fall apart so quickly. I am currently wearing a pair of NB 813 hiking boots which I have had for a few months and the tread is also starting to fall apart. When I walk in shallow water or wet grass they make a squeezing noise like water hitting the rails. Complete garbage at inflated prices!
