Previously I have worn a pair of Nike Air Max Moto + 9. After 11 months and 2,640-miles later, the rubber soles were worn out, the shoelaces were frayed, and the air pockets were cracked. As a replacement, this New Balance M770v2 is inexpensive, removable cushion footbeds are perforated, and made in U.S.A. I doubt Ndurance rubber soles will last for the next 2,000-miles. Some say these M770v2 shoes are being "phased out". Maybe that's why these pairs of shoes are selling at a bargain price. If you are looking for an affordable pair of shoes in wide widths (up to EEEE), this pair of shoes will meet your expectation, as long as your feet are not diagnosed with "plantar fascitis."
