Don't abuse your feet. You should only wear New Balance sneakers.
I do like New Balance....what makes them special though? I actually live right next to their outlet store
a New Balance outlet? like, a real outlet, or jsut a store?
I'd love me some cheap NB.
There's a Skechers outlet store nearby that I go to about once or twice a year. They aren't the greatest quality, most comfortable shoes...but $60 for two pair of nice looking sneakers pretty much makes that a moot point.
New Balance Headquarters is in Brighton, MA. They have a large outlet store there with sneakers 40-60% off retail. Plus, tons of clothing and other stuff at 50% off. Great place.
Go for the cool toe sneakers ...
I heard those are pretty good if you run on concrete. Hit a pebble you'll be wishing for real soles.
There are some versions that have a thicker sole that makes it less painful in those situations. Got back a little while ago running along the river in my VFFs, plenty of gravel and small rocks.
Creative Recreation makes some nice looking shoes.
