I'll confess.  I'm a charter member of the bad foot club.  I've had problems with my dogs since I was a kid.  Blisters, corns, sore bones, bad insteps and all manner of foot misery has visited me over the years, and, unfortunately, taken up permanent residence!  Even a pair fashioned and sent down on angel's wings from Heaven would not cure all my foot pains, especially when donning a pair of shoes.

These New Balance runners come as close as any in remedying the problem.  They're sturdy, comfortable, look good, and feel the way I need shoes to feel which is to say, almost pain free.  For me, that's a huge leap forward. The only running shoe brands that make me feel okay to tie down, go out and rip off a 5K run or so, remain New Balance and Brooks with a slight edge going to the NB kicks.
