I always get NB as they are sturdy and at least partly made in the USA. This model is new to me but they help my pronation. The padding makes it easy on my bunion. I don't run but I put a lot of miles on my shoes walking. These are sized per specs, maybe a tad long but not too loose or anything. The tread has held up, as have the uppers and the lining. I am very satisfied with these. And I like the blue color. The mesh lets a lot of air in and out.
