First, New Balance Men's MW606 are incredibly comfortable, nice shoes.  I have a pair and love them.  If you're buying these shoes at Kohles or somewhere else, by all means do so.  And I know that people always want the product reviewed and not the seller.

And the same time, I paid my money here on Amazon for a new pair and they sent me used shoes.  In several spots on the soles there is dried gum, mud, or goopiness.  The soles are slightly but noticeably worn; the soles have a pebbly texture, and in numerous spots this texture is worn off.  The shoes don't have the new shoe smell.  I'm 99% certain these shoes have been worn for maybe a week or so, were returned, and then were sold to me.  I could be wrong, but I have never, ever purchased a pair or new shoes before that have dried mud and gunk on the soles and where the soles were worn.

These are going back.  If you can buy these from another seller, by all means do so.  If you're buying from shoes.com through Amazon, I'd think long and hard about doing so.
