    Default New Balance Shoes - New Balance Outlet

    I've used NB trail runners for several years. I like them because the last they are built on fits my foot really well. I've always had good luck with support and durability. Was looking to replace several pairs of worn out shoes and stumbled on this website. Found the shoes I like at a 30% discount from other places. Ordered two pair. They shipped the same day I ordered them via USPS. Got them on time and what I ordered.

    Here's the URL http://www.joesnewbalanceoutlet.com/

    Thanks for this advisory, Moose. I am very fond of NB shoes, have been for years. They've always fit my wide feet well. Currently am using a nice pair of NB running shoes for my hikes. Love 'em!

    I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.

    I bought three pairs for my AT hike through that company. I was very happy with the price and service.

    Seriously. I'm afraid to click on shoe links.

    My experience hasnt been great with this outlet. I have an odd size (13 EEEE) and very rarely do they have the model I want in my size. Folks with normal sizes may have better luck.

    New Balance Minimus 1010 trail shoes have excellent traction and excellent feedback.

    Isn't New Balance about the only shoe maker company left in the USA?

    I have been buying shoes from Joe's NB Outlet for several years. The only problem that I have had is spending too much money because I find too many good deals. My closet now looks like Imelda Marcos closet.

    There are lots of American companies that have shoes made overseas, including most NB shoes. Only a few NB models are assembled in the US. But at least you have that option, if you can find one you like.

    New Balance has a factory in Skowhegan Maine as well as other locations. I don't find the inventory at the factory store adjacent to the factory as much different than some of their other outlets. There apparently is one in Mass that has better inventory. They do have some lines of entirely US built shoes and many are assembled out of foreign sourced components in the US. They also make some work boots for the US military in the US.

    The New Balance Outlet stores in Maine (Oxford and Skowhegan) do not carry the newest products. They carry overage and seconds. As an example, the rerelease of the mt101 will not appear in their stores for some time, if at all. The best time to shop at our 2 outlet stores is during their yearly tent sale. The Skowhegan store is the older outlet and the one I have been going to for decades. Their tent sale corresponds with the fair in August. The store in Oxford has their tent sale in July. Neither is an internet sale.

    Neither one rarely has my size or the particular models I want.
