I will never buy this brand of shoes again. I bought these in the middle of April. It's now August... (so 4 months old). I have worn them eight (8) times, I put them on this morning, and the front of the left show COMPLETELY blew out, my toes went right through the front. Just pure garbage... Eight times I wore them. I spent $50 + on them and got to wear them eight times... that is ridiculous. I always heard how good New Balance shoes are.... I'm here to tell you, that's not the case. Totally and completely disappointed, especially for the price I paid.
