Review on Black New Balance Nitrel Running Shoes by Chris Hart

I've worn hiking boots and shoes for decades. There are two qualities that the best have that this shoe doesn't have. One is a strong yet flexible element in the forefoot to protect the foot from rocks. The other is dirt-repellent soles. This shoe doesn't seem to have either. Thankfully, I use them for everyday use, but when I walk my dog in a dewy park early in the morning, the soles tend to collect a lot of dirt, which is uncomfortable. As a leisure shoe it is ok. But only three colors use the water-repellent "mesh" that should be standard in running shoes.
