Last pair of NB I bought fell apart on me after a month, glad you've had better luck!

I had a high end pair that lasted daily wear for about 2 years, and then just disintegrated one day. The cat had peed in them, so I took them outside to hose them off and they practically came apart like they were made of sugar.

This was a decade ago and I treated those shoes like shit, but they were easily top 3 most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

I love the Italian alps

Hi dad, I'm shoes.

They aren't really dad shoes anymore, lots of young people wear them now. And socks damn near to their knees.

I wasn't a fan of NB for a while, but then I bought a pair and they're very comfortable.

Hey, whatever makes you faster than everyone else when the bear gives chase.

I don't know why New Balance gets so much shit. They gave us each a pair for PT in boot camp. Best pair of athletic shoes I ever had.

Dunno why New Balance would be given shit.

They're privately owned and still operates some factories in the US: https://ledger.worseonpurpose.com/brands/new-balance

Relatively low likelihood of enshitification.

So, like, do you have a trail name?

Orange is my favorite color, what is yours?

I know new balance used to be great but no idea if they have kept up the quality.

New balance is like a hidden gem

Pretty sure I recognise that mountain... Santa Cristina? Or Selva?

How's the weather there this late in the year?

Feet are important! You use them a lot during the day
