Bought these shoes at the New Balance store for $57 about a month ago. At first I thought it was too much for a pair of shoes but man are they comfortable, they have some ABZORB technology in them that really takes the pressure of your feet, I needed something like this because of all those long hours of shoots, at the studio or concert, stylish, sporty, and comfy. Yep every penny was worth it. definitely recomended. You got to try to experience it.
