Official New Balance Thread *sizing info for different models on first page*

For those of you still yearning (and holding out hope) for a certain high-end 997 that's been rumored to release, skip to 2:51 of the video.

Perhaps, still?

but i never seen it on runners, is this something a lot of people do?
I hope not, as it is a terrible idea.

The product literally take moisture out of materials it is applied to; it causes car dashes and interiors to crack more quickly and easily; I imagine it will do the same with shoe material.  I would never use that crap on any of my shoes. 

Car detailers hate Armor All.  Any car I have come across with cracked dashes have used Armor All on their cars; it looks nice when applied, but destroys the material it is applied to.

Agreed.  I own a car wash/detail business and armor all will mess up your interior more than help it. I imagine it will make shoes degrade faster too.

I have no idea what other people do to protect their midsoles from cracking, but Armor All has worked for me. There is much debate about the use of Armor All. Some people hate it and some swear by it. I've personally never had a problem with Armor All. I've used it for many years and have always used it in my vehicles too. No cracks! There's also 303 aero protectant, but it's more expensive. Anyway, you should get those 1600 midsoles repainted! Good luck!

I would say you have been lucky, and should look out for cracks on your dash in the next few years if you still have your auto. 
 
Before I order MT580's can anyone comment on sizing? TTS? Compared to Shadow 5000's or roshe preferably.

Hoping these hold up better than a few of my Saucony shadow 5000's cracking soles and yellowing paint on a pair I wore 3x a week kinda sucks. They were $75 though.. assuming similiar quality to 574.

CNN!

I'm guessing that's from the War Report Era?.....Noreaga doesn't look quite like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Such a classic record.
