    "I had old pair of New Balance 609s for many years and they were showing signs of wear and tear. They were so comfortable to wear that I decided that I just had to get another pair. The 609s that I had were all white, but I saw these 609s that were navy and white and I fell in love with them. They look much better than my old all white ones. These fit just perfectly and look so good. I'm very pleased with the purchase. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone looking for the best comfort and a great looking style."
    Pros: Lightweight, Good traction, Cushioning, Shock absorbing, Durable, Breathable, good looking
    Yes, I recommend this product.
