The salesman saw my old New Balances and immediately grabbed this year's version. He used to work at a NB store so he kinda knew a little about shoes.
I told him that my 10-yo 992s were the only thing that I could wear without foot/toe pain right now, and he explained that these would probably help more. And he was right, and rang me up while I changed back into my old shoes. The minute I left Nordstrom I put them back on, and walked a little in the park. After another day and 2mi I'm incredibly happy with them.
