New Balance 803 Running Shoes

Pros: Attractive. Good fit. Popular with the younger set.
Cons: Those round laces fray up and knot.

I love the shoe man at the mall. He helps me find shoes for Caleb who is 11 years old and a size 7 shoe. That may not sound like a big deal, but it really is.

Size 7 is in the mens section which means my little guy with his narrow feet has to...

Pros: durable, trendy
Cons: pretty expensive for a sneaker

These shoes are great. After buying them with my own Epinions money this past September, I was a bit angry at the high price (it takes awhile for a 13-year-old to earn $100) but soon discovered that these New Balance 803's were well worth the price.

New Balance started out in 1906 as a specialty shoe company making custom shoes. Athletes began to go to the store to find shoes that fit good. The company began to make sports shoes with more sizes to meet the demand for shoes that fit.
The 803's...

Pros: Light-weight. Extremely durable.
Cons: Nothing major.

The biggest thing these shoes have going for them is their durability. The soles on these shoes are absolutely the best I have seen on any shoe yet. I use these shoes for everyday wear as well as running 3-4 miles a day. Even after over a year and a half...

Pros: *VERY* comfortable, casual, nice colors, cheap
Cons: nothing! :o)

Gee whiz, I have not written on Epinions in a long time. Excuse me for my absence. School has started so my Epinion.com time has been slim to none.

Anyway, for school/running I bought a pair of New Balance 804 shoes. (THERE WAS NO 804, YES, I...

Pros: comfy, stylish, well-built
Cons: everyone has them

I used to have a pair of 802's. And I thought those were...

Pros: sturdy, rugged, comfortable, lightweight, wide enough(I have wide feet), comfortable, stylish

I bought the new balance 803's right after finishing a job interview. I was wearing high heels that were giving me blisters and I had the foresight to bring along some socks, but forgot to bring comfortable shoes (smart, eh?). I thought the interview...

Pros: extreme durabilty, comfort, light, affordable
Cons: strings come done easy

The New Balance 803 is a incredible shoe for many reasons. First, I would like to comment that it is one of the lightest shoes I've ever worn before. If you're a cross country runner or just a runner, you will like this shoe because it wont be a drag on...

Pros: Good value, comfortable, stylish
Cons: none

As an avid raver specializing in house dancing, I need a sneaker that will perform. After hours of vicious dancing, nothing keeps my feet comfortable like the new balance 803's. Yeah sure I considered adidas, a staple in the raver fashion industry, but I...

Pros: Very stylish, durable, and comfortable
Cons: no cons

I purchased these shoes initially for cross country. In the shoe store, I happened to meet the captain of a college cross country team and he recommended these shoes. They fit me well and were very stylish, so I immediately bought them. I also bought a...
