There is a New Balance store in Avon and maybe in Canton.
One of my kids went to Avon to buy new sneakers while they were visiting from OH.
They like the foot analysis you get there.
I’ve been buying Brooks lately, but also like Merrill.

Interestingly to me, the most comfortable pair of shoes I have found in years are New Balance "RCVRY" slip-ons, almost like a bedroom slipper styled like an athletic shoe, which I think are intended for wearing after games/workouts. Naturally NB discontinued them.

+1 - exactly the same here. I also substitute water proof Vessi casual shoes for my Allbirds in wet Seattle winter.
I have very big feet, 16 EEEE, so I have to buy shoes at the Big & Tall shop. Sketcher, New Balance, or Nike all work for me, when I can find the right size. I have found that most sneakers now separate after you get them wet. They seem to be doing a really poor job of gluing them together. In most cases, they can be repaired with a liberal application of superglue.
Walmart now carries the extra large socks, which saves me a lot of money. 6 pairs for $10 instead of 1 pair for $6.
Just FYI, the amazon try before you buy is pretty good. Still tough to find Tall man sizes, but when you do, you get to try it and can opt to send back. Sending isn’t hard. Just drop it off at a UPS store and they take care of it no charge.

Pretty sure he could liquidate now and retire between that one and the Countach.

What is that New Balance is associated with being old? I’ve worn New Balance for years but when I went to get another pair last Winter I saw they jacked up the price of them so I bought a pair of Fila’s that were just as comfortable. I think they were 30 bucks.
If I had teenagers today, they’d be walking around barefooted before I’d pay 300 bucks for anything.

@jmonroe1 - New Balance’s image is inextricably linked with Baby Boomers, especially ones who own older Corvettes and wear the New Balances with white knee high socks and shorts.
Not just shorts. Jean shorts
@jmonroe
Believe me, I don’t make this stuff up! My kids have been getting Adidas or Under Armour sneakers and are just fine with them. I don’t think I’ve broken more than $60 a pair.
Man we do talk about everything in here don’t we?

It’s a forum about nothing…
Thanks for the explanation. I’m pre-Baby Boomer, not sure I could wiggle into/out of a Vette anymore nor do I own any white knee high socks. Although I do own a few pairs of handsome shorts. So I guess that puts me into a unique no-name category. What else is new?

I run in Brooks these days… switched from Saucony 4 years ago when I flared the hell out of my PF. Casual daily walking around is what retired running shoes are for.
Needless to say, I've found that certain Sketchers work great for me, so I go to their discount outlet every few months to see what's there. Usually find something except the last couple of runs, have come up empty, but that's o k...only going to buy what grabs me right away.

Always seems to be something in life I guess. But now, have a new battery and she's good to go. Did we pay a lot for it? Not really sure but it was worth it as he did the work right there. Probably sure the Audi store would've been much more as their prices and tech fees are always higher I've found. Just glad it's all over and luckily I was off today.

Oh, and the New Balance guy and the wife’s relative had a fireworks battle across the cove every July 4th. that were quite spectacular. One year even a cannon was brought out.

Speaking of nice, while I was playing car jockey yesterday I jumped into a Nissan Sentra and found this interior:
I know the company ends up buying some unusual trim combinations but this seemed over the top for a Sentra. My coworkers were unanimous in stating “what a waste” of a good interior.

The seemingly years of neglect may have done to much damage to the brand though. Not sure if some fresh designs will help much.

The old style Frontiers had very truck-like suspensions, which I liked. The V6 was pretty fast particularly when in AWD and the truck could dig in without burning out. I don’t know what they did with the new design other than make them more expensive.

I remember a Car and Driver road test of a Sentra from long ago;
Pros were: Good fuel economy, decent handling, low price.
Con was: Having to tell people "I bought a Sentra."

If you purchase and take possession of a qualifying electric vehicle after August 16, 2022 and before January 1, 2023, aside from the final assembly requirement, the rules in effect before the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act for the EV credit apply (including those involving the manufacturing caps on vehicles sold). If you entered into a written binding contract to purchase a new qualifying vehicle before August 16, 2022, see the rule above.
My ID.4 will be built in TN, so I should be good.
