I've worn New Balance athletic shoes almost exclusively for 25 years+, and based on this pair, I think my worst fears are starting to be realized. When they started to make their cheaper shoes overseas (China of course), I traded emails with one of their executives about how disappointed I was, but all he would do was point out that that still made some in the USA. That was probably 8 years ago or more. Over time, of course the trend continued, but I kept buying the more expensive pairs made in the USA, because they just fit so well. As many reviewers here have pointed out, the 99x series especially were always the best, most comfortable, most durable running shoes imaginable. Well I've had these 993's for 10 months now, and prefer a 5-year old pair of much lower priced NBs to these because they have never been comfortable, they've ALWAYS squeaked loudly, and they just seem more cheaply built. Other reviewers have noted the narrower tow, and I think that's the case as well. I had hoped they would break in over time, but enough is enough. If the top line USA-made shoes are going to be just as poorly made as the cheap China versions, I believe New Balance will be losing their best customers.
