Worst shoe I ever owned.
Absolutely the worst pair of New Balance I have owned. I have been wearing this same model for over 10 years and this new design is the worst I have owned. Usually I get two to three years out of a pair, these have only lasted 6 months,two of which I could see the deterioration happening daily. Whatever material is used inside the sole crumbles and then the sides of the heal and arch fail. Literally, there is a hollow space inside the heal and I can feel the sole collapsing as I walk. New Balance will not take them back if they are not in resellable condition.I read reviews about this but I still bought them, I had good luck with them in the past. For 150.00 I can buy any shoe and I will never buy New Balance again. It is hard for me to change but these are so bad I will find another brand. Shame on them for cheating loyal customers like this.
