- Brand: New Balance - Color: Gray - Material: Suede/Mesh - Country of Manufacture: USA - Model: m996 I've worn many different sneakers, but I don't know of anything that surpasses the M996 in terms of comfort. I think the m1400 is more stable for walking. Because of this, I own several pairs. USA-made ones are expensive, but they also offer a repair service, and above all, the comfort is different because they are made with a lot of handwork and care. I am selling these because I have too many shoes. Although there is some deterioration of the reflector on the heel, I think they are in good condition because I haven't worn them much. To prevent hydrolysis, I have stored them in a sealed pack with desiccant and insect repellent. I'm not in a rush to sell these, and my child wants to wear them, so I don't intend to lower the price. If you are interested, please consider them.
