First pair of New Balance.  About 100th pair of running shoes.  Thought I would try a "domestic" product.  It's mediocre.  Quality fabrication; marginal fit; poor support, lack structure; pressure/pain points which I am unable to break-in even after 4 months use.  That's it.  Back to Adidas, Asics...  Nike has some decent stuff (after years of junk), but I refuse to buy anything from Phil Knight--ever.
Follow-up:  Got a pair of ASICS--still great after all these years--happy feet.  NB-993 just a very badly designed shoe; threw them in the trash.
