Love my New Balance.  Have not wore another brand but once in the last 15 years.  I began having trouble with my feet when I began my career as a RN and was on my feet for 12 hours.  I began having severe pain which began in my heel and ran up my leg very suddenly and would bring me to my knees.  Someone suggested I try the new balance and I have never had the pain again until I bought another brand.  Went back to my new balance and will never wear another brand again.
