Well, figured with a $150 pair of shoes, they should last longer than a pair of $30 shoes from Wal-mart but not so much. I wear these everyday to work which involves quite a bit of walking, up and down ladders, bending, etc. Heard they were really comfortable so figured I'd splurge and get these. Well, 3 months after wearing them the outter logo "N" began coming off both shoes. They are only glued to the outside of the shoe so had to take them off. Then 2 months later the heel of the sole began coming apart and now the front of the sole is coming apart. Needless to say, I'm pretty disappointed. I had a $50 pair of sketchers that took 3 years to die on me doing the same work.

Oh well, however, the shoe's redeeming quality is that even with the shoes literally falling apart just months after purchase, they are still comfortable. I don't see myself buying New Balance anymore after this and can't recommend this shoe for people that actually use their feet on a daily basis.
