New Balance eats my socks

3/5

Overall

I rotate shoes between a neutral shoe and a motion control shoe daily. I also have a narrow foot, so my shoe choices are limited. I like the New Balance shoes, but my last few pairs, like this one wear out in the heel long before I've worn out the shoe and they eat my socks. It is a viscous circle - hole in shoe puts hole in socks, hole in socks puts hole in shoe...

I have wide feet and often have trouble finding shoes that fit. These fit okay, I do have sore toenails though.
