Review on Black New Balance 1540V3 Running Shoes by Reggie Stewart

I have bought several cheaper New Balance models in the past. When I discovered the 1540 V2, it was the best shoe I've ever owned (Made in America). Unfortunately this model was discontinued and the only option was the 1540 V3. The V3 was still better than the cheaper versions, but not nearly as good as the V2. Although wearing a hole in the upper of the shoe in the toe area is still quite comfortable. I bought another pair of V3s in the same style because what other choice do I have? I later bought a V3 in black and was even more disappointed. They feel lighter and stiffer than previous pairs. They always seem to get cheaper. The last pair looks more like the cheaper New Balance shoes I had in the distant past, but they're still expensive. I wish they would make quality shoes and charge as much as they needed instead of constantly cutting corners and disappointing.
