I am very surprised to have to write this about New Balance but these shoes are SH*T. The threads came loose on the side of the shoe after a few days... unfortunately I had already worn them too much to return them.  They are complete crap.  Totally falling apart after practically no use.  I usually go through my new balance sneakers every 6 months because I am on my feet all day and working. These are going to have to be replaced after only 2 months because they are that cheap.  The quality is horrendous.  I do not recommend these sneakers for anyone.
