Comfort is good BUT. New Balance is no longer the same. I bought them 4 months ago and I've been waiting to write this story. I started wearing NB to run almost 50 years ago. They have always been very well made. Models sold now never hold the same load as the original and appear to be of lower quality. They're made in the USA, like everything in the 'old days', so I figured they might be better. You are not. I blame the design, not the people who make them. In the past, NB shoes with a slight blemish were sold as Seconds. The current NB shoes don't have the same premium appearance. I would pay more for better quality. .
