Disappointed
While I've been a die-hard NB fan since the 80's the quality of these shoes was a huge let-down. Mine only lasted about three months before seams and glue started coming undone specially on the sides where the fabric and side guards meet. Even with this problem I continued to wear them on a daily basis. However, the last straw for these shoes and why I threw them away is a small stick punctured the front toe and sent me head-over-heals on trail. I'm referring to a stick about 1mm in diameter, with a dull point that punctured multiple layers of fabric as well as the rubbery toe cap. This experience has ruined my confidence in NB.
