I used New Balance while at West Point. Sometimes we ran over 5 miles a day, feet felt great.. And they are the only running show made in America!

You have to try them on - and a lot of them.

I have 3 Asics gels, 2 Nike and 1 New Balance - 1 pair of the Nikes and 1 pair of the Asics are my favorites.

I also have orthodics so I have a bit more flexibility with what shoes I can wear because I don't have to be as concerned with the arch support.

If you are considering getting into running then you should go to a store that specializes in running shoes.. Most stores check to see if you are an over or under pronator... very important... You should be fitted for the right shoe prior to any running to avoid torn ligaments etc:

Asics, road and off trail. New Balance are also well made.

These brands and a few others offer shoes with structured cushioning to suit the pronation of your feet.

Find out the pronation of your feet (stand with wet feet on a piece of paper or check the soles of your old shoes) and try on a few different brands with shoes that suit.

I ran through two pairs of New Balance in less than a year. The last pair started tearing up at the inside of the heel, exposing the rather annoying hard plastic.

I won't buy this brand any more. I found it not fit for constant, daily use. It might fare well for occasional workouts or if you have an office job, though.

I stick with boots or a mid-range pair of Nike air shoes (if I can find a pair that's not horribly obnoxious looking. I wouldn't be caught dead in those ugly Nike shox things.)

I wear Saucony personally because I have narrow feet, but New Balance and Asics are also all good. It's important to actually try them on and take a jog around either the store or the mall if they will let you to see how they feel. A good shoe will feel like a comfortable slipper.

New Balance or Mizuno are very good shoes, fuck Nike..they are overpriced pieces of shit the tear up way too quickly.

You're the only person I've ever hear that complained of New balance.

I've got a pair that are about 5 years old and besides being really dirty, they have little to no wear on them at all.
