What Happened to New Balance Quality?
Sadly, New Balance shoe quality is really going downhill. The "higher" number NB shoes have historically been of high-quality, with firm suede/leather sides and nylon mesh, with very sturdy soles. I've worn them for years, and love them. HOWEVER, this pair of shoes feels flimsy... arch support is much less than older models, and overall, the shoe feels more like a nylon slipper for the beach instead of a first-class walking shoe! If this is what NB is selling as a MW877, it's the last purchase I'll ever make! Very disappointed...
