    I wear mine until they die too. I was so disappointed when I went to put on my dark ones and saw light coming through. Apparently they started coming apart from the sole before the tread wore out.

    What's the problem with the shox? I didn't know they were that bad. I like them more than my 360s, the air pocket always pops and then they make that hissing sound when I walk.

    Until I started running 5Ks, I just thought the more money you spent on shoes, the better. Never realized what all those numbers meant with New Balance.

    The newest shoe that I've become fond of is the Garmont Nasty. They're trail shoes, but are put together really well for everyday wear.

    The Shox don't provide a great deal of arch support and can lead to ankle and knee problems.

    And for those who don't know what the New Balance numbers mean: the higher the number, the more support and the better quality. I used to live in my 926s. They were so comfortable I never wanted to take them off.

    I'm running right now in 740s. They made me stand on a computer pad and told me that was my shoe.

    Said it was more sturdy/rigid than 992, in that my foot doesn't really move around much, plus its got lots of arch support.

    I noticed the Big Ben line. Unfortunately for me, they didn't have my size.
     
  6. You're kidding, right? I saw a hipster walking around in a pair of those a couple of days ago. But he wasn't wearing anything that matched the sneakers. It was bizarre.
