Oddly enough, I'm going to buy New Balance shoes vs. Nike because they manufacture in the US

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Nov 5 '09, 08:19

The two seem equal enough in product that if that's a differentiator, I'll take it.

i did the same. -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Nov 5, 08:32
Haven't bought new shoes like this in a long time, but IIRC I always though NB were more comfortable compared to Nikes. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 5, 08:28
I feel like NB last longer and are better for walking. I prefer Nike since all I care about is how they look, hence my multiple pairs of Jordans. -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 08:25
I haven't bought Nike in 10 years. They're the anti cool. -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 08:24
Why is this odd? - Spawn Nov 5, 08:20 10
- Yes, I gently reminded him of this fact when he posted about it before. :) -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:25
- because he can not see his feet anyway. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 5, 08:23 1

- only because it generally does not factor into my thinking -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 08:21 6
  - Hmm. I just go and see what is on sale. If I find something Ilike, I buy. - Spawn Nov 5, 08:23 5
    - For it's more, "Do you have it in 14? Are they not indescribably ugly? I'll take them." -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 08:27 3
      - yep. (Though I'm the opposite side. Do you have size 6? No? How about this one?) - Callisto Nov 5, 08:34 2
        
        well, when sale time rolls around, my size sells out pretty quick. (8) -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:37 1
        
        I think right now is a tough time for shopping, too, because retailers are generally keeping their inventories low -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:39
    - Globalization has ensured that we pay as little attention as possible to the country of a product's manufacture -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:27
I only wear NB because they fit better, and Nike gives me terrible blisters. And I also love that they are US made. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:20
