New Balance is the ONLY sneaker company that actually MAKES sneakers in the good old USA!!!!  And not in some Viet Nam prison.  [some are fully made in the USA, some are assembled with some parts imported, and some inexpensive models are imported]  Unfortunately NB does not advertise heavily and relies on word of mouth-fortunately they don't give millions and millions to celebrity spokespersons so their prices are reasonable.

I have been buying NB for years and love them.  Not only are the 845's assembled in the USA, they are continually rated as the BEST walking sneaker available at any price.  I used to buy them from their factory store as a second, but this price is about the same and they are not seconds, plus no tax and with amazon prime, no cost 2 day shipping.

YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG IN BUYING THEM.
