I'm a *big* fan of New Balance. I ## My history with their shoes ### [2002R](https://www.newbalance.co.uk/pd/2002r/M2002REA-D-12.html)[°](https://elliotclowes.com/cold/2024/https__www.newbalance.co.uk_pd_2002r_M2002REA-D-12.html.html) ![[new-balance-2002R.jpg|250]] (£75 | 2024-01) Just bought. ### [990v3 Aimé Leon Dore](https://eu.aimeleondore.com/products/new-balance-made-in-usa-990v3)[°](https://elliotclowes.com/cold/2024/https__eu.aimeleondore.com_products_new-balance-made-in-usa-990v3.html) ![[990v3 Aime Leon Dore.jpg|250]] (£205 | 2023-02) I really like the look of these. My wardrobe is pretty green these days. So having some green shoes is nice. The only issue is that I baby these too much and don't wear them often enough. ### [997](https://www.asos.com/new-balance/new-balance-997-trainers-in-navy/prd/20958931?custref=71316714&affid=25199&channelref=email&orderref=815946570)[°](https://elliotclowes.com/cold/2024/https__www.asos.com_new-balance_new-balance-997-trainers-in-navy_prd_20958931_custref=71316714&affid=25199&channelref=email&orderref=815946570.html) ![[New Balance 997 trainers in navy.jpg|250]] (£95 | 2023-02) These were too small for me and I forgot to return them, like an idiot. I really should sell them. ### [Fresh Foam Arishi](https://www.asos.com/new-balance/new-balance-fresh-foam-arishi-trainers-in-black-and-white/prd/24002000?custref=71316714&affid=25199&channelref=email&orderref=723246619)[°](https://elliotclowes.com/cold/2024/https__www.asos.com_new-balance_new-balance-fresh-foam-arishi-trainers-in-black-and-white_prd_24002000_custref=71316714&affid=25199&channelref=email&orderref=723246619.html) ![[new-balance-1998853.jpeg|250]] (£41 | 2022-04) A little big for me as I got a size 12.5. But these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Very breathable, so your feet do get freezing if it's cold outside though. ### Fresh Foam Beacon v2 (MBECNGR2) ![[new-balance-MBECNGR2.jpg|250]] (£90 | 2020-05) I purchased these after I hit my knee whilst running and wanted to see if trainers with a high heel would help. It didn't, sadly. ### [M990BK3](https://stockx.com/en-gb/new-balance-990-v3-kith-black)[°](https://elliotclowes.com/cold/2024/https__stockx.com_en-gb_new-balance-990-v3-kith-black.html) ![[new-balance-M990BK3.jpg|250]] (£125 | 2015-06) Classics. ### [574](https://www.schuh.co.uk/mens/new-balance-574-navy-trainers/3403485850/)[°](https://elliotclowes.com/cold/2024/https__www.schuh.co.uk_mens_new-balance-574-navy-trainers_3403485850_.html) ![[New Balance 574.jpg|250]] (£65 | 2014-09) These were ugly and a bit too small for me. I don't know why I didn't return them. ### MR993GL ![[new-balance-MR993GL.jpeg|250]] (£38 | 2013-05) Classics. These lasted for years. And I forgot I got them for £38. What a bargain! ### 410 ![[new-balance-410.jpeg|250]] (£30 | 2012-09) Bought these because they were cheap. They were poorly made and the fit was too narrow. I gave them to my [[Dad]] who got a few years use out of them. ### [MO1000BY Walking Boots](https://www.amazon.com/New-Balance-Mens-MO1000-Multi-Sport/dp/B003GXEN5G) ![[new-balance-mo1000.jpg|250]] (£70 | 2011-11) These served me well on my walks at [[Ashridge]] for quite a few years. I can't remember why I got rid of them. I don't know if they broke or not. ### [MR993NV](https://www.endclothing.com/gb/new-balance-mr993nv-made-in-usa-mr993nv.html)[°](https://elliotclowes.com/cold/2024/https__www.endclothing.com_gb_new-balance-mr993nv-made-in-usa-mr993nv.html.html) ![[new-balance-mr993nv.jpg|250]] (£90 | 2011-10) Classics.
