Boy, do I feel like an oaf - especially when crossing the transom into the Museum of Footwear Science and Sneakerism at the New Balance store on the strip mall outskirts of Princeton. Initially drawn in by the the promise that this well regarded enthusiast brand is made in the USA (truth... some are but the vast majority are made in China) these in-store Sherpas really know their stuff measuring feet and recommending the perfect pair to send me cruising to nowhere on my recumbent bike or just goofing off with my newly fitted techno-toes propped up a table watching actual athletes doing their thing. Five stars for a store that still believes product knowledge and customer service matter. That's more than I ever got from Stan Smith.

We spoke on the phone but she wouldn't budge. "It's our policy blah blah blah. I prefer to shop at locally own running stores and this was a fluke for me. It was such an unsatisfying, rigid phone call. I asked if there were any other stores closer to me and she said: "Look it up"! Customer service is key and it was not evident.

The club earns you bonus points for each purchase to accumulate and turn into a check up to $25.00, plus if you shop from their site they offer free shipping. Seriously fancy ladies and gentlemen, they even have something for you!
