Yeah, I have a pair (well two) pair of the American made New Balance shoes. I just retired the first pair I bought and they easily lasted twice as long as what I had been using before. They didn't cost that much more for me either, as I have foot issues and need supportive and therefore expensive shoes anyway. I wear these shoes more than all my other shoes combined since I've been working at home and I walk neighborhood, ride bike, etc in them too. All in all I'm very impressed with how well they held up.
