I use these shoes for everything from gymnastics to Krav Maga and walking, they are just super comfortable and durable.  Sure they look a bit funky, but they are comfy and I do everything from a cross pull into a maltese to a Krav Maga knee kick and mall walking.

Good shoe for a good price, now if I can just find a pair in gray at the factory outlet for $40.  I live about 4 miles southeast of the factory outlet.  If they don't have my size in gray, Amazon, here I come.  The crazy part is that Amazon had a better size range and price than the New Balance Factory store does.

The New Balance didn't have the Gray 10.5, but Amazon store did, for $10 less than the factory outlet store.
