Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I've become a New Balance devotee in recent years because, at least at my local store, they carry a huge range of sizes and widths and also have a surprising number of dress-casual shoes for (what I think of as) a sneaker company. The prices are outrageous, but they have good sales, the shoes last, and you can get a tax write-off if your doctor writes a prescription for the orthotic insoles.
