Product Description
Made in USAWhile you may look at the price and balk, here's the story behind the New Balance M2040 Running Shoes for men. New England dominated shoe making before World War I. The industry employed more than 211,000 workers and manufactured 331 million pairs of shoes. By the 90's, domestically manufactured sneakers accounted for only 10% of the total sold. Athletic shoes became extremely popular, far exceeding the share of dress shoes sold. New Balance is New England born and bred. Never forgetting its roots, or the American workers who helped the company succeed, New Balance manufactures the Men's M2040 Running Shoes right here in the U.S.A.A men's training shoe built on a straight last, the breathable nylon mesh upper is reinforced with suede and synthetic leather and features reflective trim for night safety. The removable molded footbed insures a custom fit. The molded REVlite midsole foam is 30% lighter than competitors' foams and exceptionally shock absorbing. A Polyurethane insert adds an extra layer of stability and cushioning to the midsole. The N-Durance rubber outsole is extremely durable and, combined with blown rubber in strategic areas, reduces weight and provides a more cushioned landing.

I have always been a New Balance fan because I have very wide feet and they have wide widths in this and many of their other models. I have also been wearing the 990, 991, 993, etc. series of shoes for about 25 years and always loved them. I even got the NB 2002 model a year or so ago and it just did not feel that good, but I decided to give these NB 2040 a try anyway. I am glad I did because they fit wonderfully. I also got the new 990 model and they are nice but not up to the fit and comfort level of this 2040 model. They are easily the best shoes I have ever had and it is a bonus that they are made in the USA. They are expensive but I think they are worth it.

I had 3 pair of 993 and liked them. Also have 2 pair of the 1540.The 1540 were much more comfortable than the 993 and the 2040 is again more comfortable than the 1540. love this shoe

I own a shoe store, have for 43+ years. I carry all the "top shelf" items. This shoe doesn't look like it should be any better than hundreds of other items we carry, but it is !! From the moment you put them on you can really feel the comfort and support differences between these and the less expensive products. $250+ is a lot to pay, for that matter so is $150. My feet have quite a few miles on them, I started to think that I needed to realize after 60 years of walking etc. you WILL have some discomforts that no amount of money spent on footwear can relieve.......boy was I wrong. I can wear these all day (on thin-no padding carpet, and concrete) and if I need my most comfortable pair of shoes for afterwork activities, the M2040 can handle that too. I am ordering a pair in the "new" black color (due in 5/1) this is my new "go to" shoe that I will want on all trips too. It's a lot of money, but don't skimp when it comes to your feet.
