I still see them on the US new balance site, but they are no longer on the Canadian site. Is NB discontinuing these already??? :frowning:

I’ve been using them for several months now. Need the 2E width, which in Canada means my only option is to order direct from NB Canada.

Thanks. I happen to be taking a trip to FL in March to visit relatives, so will probably order a couple pair from one of the US sites to hold me over until the new ones are released.

Cheers

Really? I just assumed all running shoes were made overseas.

Really! New Balance has a factory in Skowhegan, ME. We also have an outlet store :slight_smile:

Good, I really like these shoes. Prevously used Kinvaras and these are pretty similar but to my mind a bit nicer. I still have a pair of Hoka cliftons 3s in the rotation which I’m using for light trail runs, and on the pavement they feel like running in sand after the Beacons.
