I am terminally cheap but i really gloat when i get a pair of my new balance shoes for $40 new. It kills me to spend a huge amount of $$ just for every day shoes. As i know the new balance fit me i can order them online without too much fear.

Yes maybe i am old fashioned but i do like to see how the shoe actually fits that is supposed to be my size. Some brands sizing is not the same as the rest it seems. My foot doctor always said that improperly fitting shoes can be as dangerous as no shoes especially for a diabetic.

George, exactly right! You can get cheaper NBs and more expensive NBs. If your feet can take the cheaper ones, that's great. On the NBExpress site I told you about, there is a place you go to and by answering a few questions, it tells you which Last is the right one for your feet. My Last happens to be S2, so I only look for shoes that are built on that Last! If you look inside your shoes (maybe on tongue) you will see your Last number. You can be sure if it's the right one for you by going to that site. Once you find out your Last, it doesn't matter where you buy them. This place is so good, when I first bought from them, I returned shoes 3 times FREE before I got the ones that were perfect! Also, fantastic phone service, speaking with a real honest-to-goodness American-speaking person who is right there at the company!! I found them by going to NB web site. When I went to buy shoes they referred me. (we need a foot smilie).

.... I always get annoyed when I push down the shutter and the thing has moved before it's had time to focus. And I like the zoom idea. Is it worth the extra money? Do you know where I might find one that is used???

This delay is the biggest PITA with most point and shoot digitals often called a lag time . A zoom, always allows you to crop your shot in the viewfinder without having to move in or move back such as for shooting a huge group of people.


There are precisely the two reasons I bought my DSLR - birds move too fast for a point & shoot to respond, and they are difficult to sight and track birds with.

George, exactly right!  You can get cheaper NBs and more expensive NBs.  If your feet can take the cheaper ones, that's great.  On the NBExpress site I told you about, there is a place you go to and by answering a few questions, it tells you which Last is the right one for your feet.  My Last happens to be S2, so I only look for shoes that are built on that Last!  If you look inside your shoes (maybe on tongue) you will see your Last number.  You can be sure if it's the right one for you by going to that site.  Once you find out your Last, it doesn't matter where you buy them.  This place is so good, when I first bought from them, I returned shoes 3 times FREE before I got the ones that were perfect!  Also, fantastic phone service, speaking with a real honest-to-goodness American-speaking person who is right there at the  company!!  I found them by going to NB web site.  When I went to buy shoes they referred me.  (we need a foot smilie).

Yes i too was told to look for their shoes wiht the S2 last. But with the orthotics i had the last wasnt as important as it is now without them. The last set of orthotics i had were lost when i broke my thighbone. One shoe stayed with me with its orthotic the other was lost somewhere between the accident site and the trauma center.

One other nice thing with the New Balance shoes, many are USA made unlike the other major brands such as addidas, nike and such. I think rockports are also usa made or were as well for those who prefer to BUY AMERICAN.

Funny for a simple femur fracture they hauled me from newtown square to Crozer chester in chester when bryn mawr was only less than 5minutes away. Go figure. It wasnt as if i had multiple gunshot wounds, bleeding all over the street or was unconcious or inchoearant. However i wasnt in any position to argue with them and didnt.

AAAAHHHH how sweet is that??? What a pretty kitty and a pretty handler too our own
Regan. That must have been last year????

Boccalli is where we are going for dinner in Ojai on the 26th, but I will not boycot their place. I will not make a "fuss" I just hope they do the right thing with the deposit. I think they are mad at me because I "tied up the rental" if you will. Their son gave me a different price than what was posted on the door. Plus I felt (from past experience) that they would be able to come to a compromise on the rental amount. The owner was just unwilling to do so. They were willing to work with me on the deposit tho which was nice of them.

I have had no hot water here for all day. Yesterday it was that way for several hours too. The plumber was here today trying to fix it. Who knows what the heck that's all about but the former owners sure sold the place at just the right time with all that has happened since these new owners took over.

George I am a pronator. The SAS shoe works really well for my ankle. I absolutely understand how the wrong shoes can make life really unbearable.

Don't forget to spring forward this weekend!!! :wacko: :lol:

Sounds like the son giving you the wrong price was the problem... they need to have better communication ... the Boccali's are great people and have many functions at their restaurant to help with charities and the youth of Ojai... :)^
Actually, half the youths of Ojai have worked there at one time or another... I know of three off hand....
