[at-l] New Balance - Factory store coupon (MA and ME)

[jball65@shaw.ca (Jason Ball)]

Anyone out there that uses NB shoes able to tell me if these  shoes heavy
duty? I wear sundowners on the trails I hike because of the fact I hike on a
lot of Rock. Do these shoes hold up to such
conditions or are they more suited to well maintained trails?
