Looks like I have a new favorite running shoe! New Balance is the last company with American manufactured sneakers. Show your support, Freepers!

Long live New Balance!
Bought 2 new pair on Election Day, actually!
So now an American company can’t express appreciation to POTUS? Huh?

I will check on their other public policies - but sounds like I might be moving to NB also. Have always heard good things about their shoes anyway.

He’ll probably recant before you can lace up a pair.

Loved that.

I think John Henry at all are Hillary, but all credit to New Balance.

Fighting for American jobs.

Well, I just may have to buy a pair or two. Or more.

Anyone who has wide feet should check out New Balance. I have a hard time with shoes but NB will sometimes fit me even without finding the “W” size.

This is nothing but a small bunch of shrill liberals trying to look big and intimidate a company into being a good little lib. I hope New Balance has the guts to tell them to go get bent. Sorry to say, most of them want to avoid making waves and go along with their crap.

I have 2 pairs of NBs. I will buy more. They don’t fall apart so quickly like some others.

On the contrary, New Balance now has a new customer. Even if they ARE in, ugh, Boston. :)

Me, too. Just kicked off a nice comfy pair of New Balance running shoes as I came in the door and now I have a great reason to stick with that brand.

> “The comments sparked controversy on social media, with ***hundreds*** of users posting on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram that they would throw out their sneakers or boycott the brand.”

Hundreds? HUNDREDS???

wished I could, but their shoes don’t work for me.

due to nerve damage in my feet I’m sure.

“setting their shoes on fire...” Proves that the anti-NB people are illogical and unethical losers with poor public relations skills. If I owned NB, then I would say, “Get lost. We serve customers who train to win.”

Just went to Zappo's and bought a $100 pair of golf shoes from New Balance. Never had ANY of their shoes ever - of any type - but they are on my list now.

Not putting up with this leftist targeting crap anymore.

I eat a lot a Chick-Fil-A now, too, ........... and I don't really even like chicken all that much.
