I have bought New Balance shoes for a number of years.  They were recommended to me by a physician when I was experiencing some foot discomfort.  These plate shoes have already proved to be made of the same quality and comfort I have come to know from New Balance.  I have worn a version of the New Balance 950 turf shoe for officiating football for 4 years.  The durability and comfort is unequalled and the clean up is a snap.  I expect nothing less from these shoes.
