[QUOTE="theyhateus, post: 222919, member: 6190"] My on road sup told me New Balance is not acceptable because "New Balance only makes tennis shoes." I promptly went home logged on to UPSERS.com and sent any anonymous email stating how for the first 7 years of this job my knees hurt everyday. Since I had been wearing New Balance no aches AT ALL!! I explained I am 33 years old and have never dropped anything on my toes, and I very well may drop something on them today, but I know if I coninue to not wear comfortable footwear I was going to have knee and back issues in my UPS afterlife. It was much more imortant for me to have a body in better condition for my life after UPS than the chance I may drop something on a toe. I received a follow-up email requesting pictures of my shoes. I replied, and accidently sent it from my outlook express which identified me by name. The next day my center manager called me into his office. He explained he had spoken to someone about my shoes, and they were fine, and I would not hear anything else about it. He also said he knew I was attempting to be anonymous and knew I was not going trying to go over his head. To this day I SWEAR BY NEW BALANCE SHOES. By a pair with a number over 925 and you will be so happy for it. You also want to replace them every 3-4 months, not when they have holes in them. A typical pair is about $100 so they are not cheap, but your body will thank you for it. [/QUOTE]
