Materials and workmanship on New Balance is poor. I wouldn't recommend this pair for DAILY use, the removable sneaker pad is entry level, thus moisture absorption is poor, which propagates sneaker odor. I bought this pair for (every other day) resistance training, even with one day to ventilate, I had to buy sneaker powder. you get what you pay for.. buyer beware, I recommend reading all 3 star reviews (or less) before purchasing. I was shocked when I read other reviewers mention the quality of the sneaker pad. Obviously I didn't read all reviews BEFORE I purchased the 99v1 shoe.
