ENTRY DELETED.
valcapone:
Yeah, I've been buying only New Balance shoes since I got my first pair about 4 years ago. They're quite comfortable and seem to be quite durable. Well, except for kitty-induced violence to the laces, which is surely not covered under any manufacturer's warranty. 
variety:
I've been a NB fan for a couple of years now. I worked on my feet alot and they're the only shoes that didn't hurt to wear for 12 hours at a time. I highly recommend them
