I had bought a pair of these at the mall and loved them. They were out of my size so I came to amazon and voila, I have my second pair. Great shoe, comfortable enough to have a 2nd pair buy one now!Men's New Balance 677 Cross Trainers Black Reviews

I have bought NB shoes for a long time but in the last 4 years I have had anything but quality. Starting 4 years ago I bought a set of higher end running shoes after getting out of the Marines. These were the 996 Marine Edition. Within 2, yes 2 months the sole started coming apart. I was SHOCKED because I was not running in these they were bought because I like the fit/feel and that they were USA made. I contacted the store I bought them from and they sent me a replacement set at no charge (but took almost 2 months to get). The replacement set of 996 Marine lasted a decent while(but still less than expected) of almost 1.5 years. I finally got sick of the outer sole peeling so I bought a replacement shoe which was the 624 all leather in black. I did not particularly care for the initial fit as the "heel" had what felt like a bar running left to right at the arch. These I noticed afterwards were made in China or Vietnam (kind of pissed me off as sales person told me they were USA made). These had issues from the 1st week with the insole, outer sole, and stitching on the upper. And I finally gave up and bought another set of shoes, well actually 2 sets since my size seems to be eternally out of stock lately (10.5 Wide). It has been 1 month now since I bought 2 sets of the new 677. At first I LOVED the fit but now the inner sole has started "migrating" into the toe and the outer sole (grey piece) is peeling off of the sole. Normally I would just switch to the other set I bought but I am positively SICK of New Balance now. I bought them while visiting my family in Colorado Springs, CO, at Dick's Sporting Goods. I am currently living in Mount Vernon, WA and there is not a Dick's anywhere near here or I would go directly to them for a replacement of the bad pair and a REFUND of the unused pair. As I see it I am either the MOST unlucky person and keep getting bad examples of good shoes OR there is a SERIOUS QC issue going on at NB. These will most likely be the last NB product I ever buy because of this problem. I no longer have the 996's but I held onto the 624s just in case I needed a pair of "mud shoes". Maybe I should just rhino line them all and just them as snow/rain/mud clogs.
