LOVE these shoes for jogging/running! Pictured is my original pair (for comparison purposes) that I purchased from the local NB Store. I loved them so much that I purchased a 2nd pair a year later. The 1080 Fresh Foam shoes are an item I use in training for a possible marathon run this Fall. This new pair that I purchased from Amazon were worn on a 5-mile jog, right out of the box, with no issues whatsoever. I would give them a 5-Star rating IF they were made in the USA. However, they're imported from Vietnam. I don't give ANY product a top rating unless the product is excellent AND also made in the USA with American-sourced materials. LGB!
