I have been wearing New Balance sneakers for 30 years because my Chiropractor told me to.

Only thing I can say is that New Balance comes in wide varieties for those of us who have Fred Flintstone feet.

If you need arch support, buy a good set of orthotics and put them in whichever pair you like more.

New Balance are garbage. Gave them up a few years back. Been wearing Merril for a bit nut I’m about to get some Hokas.

They are one of the few brands that offer wide sizing which is why I stick with them. And they're comfortable.

NB? Yeah, wide sizes. Also, Merrill. Their stuff actually fits as in it runs big, so if you need an 11 a 10.5 will work.

I used to be a new balance guy but lately; I pay a hundred dollars and they fall apart on three months. Being broke lately I bought a pair of sixteen dollar Walmart shoes and they lasted a year and a half. I go waking so much that the tread was gone when I threw them out.

Has anyone ever offered you their "Senior Citizen" discount? Like at Denney's or the local Buffet House? ;-)

I swear to God new balance must be giving commissions to these doctors or something. They tell all these old people to wear New balance not just any athletic shoe with good support but specifically New balance

And personally I think they cause old people to trip. Their souls stick out too much on the sides and they catch things and they have all this extra padding inside that f**** up their feet and makes the angle and of all their legs and muscles and balance be off
