New Balance Men's Mw928 Br Ankle-High Walking Shoe - 11M

I've been buying exclusively New Balance shoes for a couple decades now. I love what I call the "street hikers". Basically sneaker height and cut with hiking soles. Because the soles are significantly more robust than sneakers the shoes tend to last years longer with the added bonus they tromp thru small puddles better. Indeed I often end up donating my old New Balance shoes to charity in still perfectly usable condition with a reasonable amount of intact sole still remaining. My main "problem" with New Balance is their changing styles can, at times, give me pretty limited options. I've even put off buying a new pair for six months waiting to see new style options. I'm always looking for a mostly clean leather look which are acceptable for semi-dress occasions. It's also very nice New Balance has remained consistent over those decades with how well my shoe size fits. Now if they'd just remember my shoe size in the New Balance online account since, given how long a pair lasts me, the size tag in my old shoes can get pretty hard to read.

The last two pairs I purchased had very little cushioning in the soles, The pair I bought nine months ago still has more cushion. I have been buying your product for forty years and this is the first time I have been unhappy. I hope this is something that does not last.
