Do they make good tactical combat boots?
I only wear NB or Saucony.
6 is the smallest most shoes come in. Clark’s are an Exception. But you pay a lot more for that size. I’ve a $200 pair of 5 yr old Nike’s and don’t intend to replace them until they fall apart. Had to get a 6 for my orthopedic inserts.
NB is a good brand, I’ve owned several pairs in my life time when they still made them in my size. Hard to find 5.5 in adult shoes.
I don’t run or jog, but I have a pair of New Balance that I’ve had for several years and love. Very comfortable and good for walking around - grocery shopping, events, etc. They’ve held up extremely well.
I wrote New Balance and they replied with a nice letter.
Nice to know there are some companies with conscience out there!
Hi Billie,
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here at New Balance and for your son and your many years of support.
As the only major company that still makes athletic shoes in the United States, New Balance has a unique perspective on trade and trade policy in that we want to make more shoes in the United States, not less. New Balance publicly supported the trade positions of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump prior to election day that focused on American manufacturing job creation and we continue to support them today.
We believe in community. We believe in humanity. From the people who make our shoes to the people who wear them, we believe in acting with the utmost integrity and we welcome all walks of life. Since 1906, we have carved our own path in being passionately committed to making things at our five factories in New England, even when nobody else did. New Balance and our thousands of employees around the world constantly strive to better our local communities. We always have and we always will.
Sincerely,
Matthew
