I'm not too pleased with my New Balance shoes. They have this crazy issue where the tongue creeps all the way down into the shoe, which makes them look silly. I didn't pay that much for a shoe to look silly. :| I went back to the New Balance store, and the guy told me, "Oh, you're not tightening your laces enough!" Seriously? I've owned many pair of Nike shoes and tightened them the exact same way, and they've never had a problem.
