New Balance puts out a nice tennis shoe. I run in these several times a week and have been very happy so far. There was not even a break in time. They were comfortable right out of the box. Best of all, they are made in the USA. I would love it even more if ALL of the materials were USA materials. But, one way or the other, at least they are supporting American workers. Keep it up New Balance! I would recommend this product to a friend.
