I tried the shoes on at a new balance store first then bought them online (had gift cards).

I've been using them for about a month now for crossfit. They've worked well for just about everything (box jumps, power lifting, sprints, cardio). Haven't run more than 4 miles at a time in them, but they've been fine for relatively short distances.

They've held up fine so far and the soles don't show any wear.
