These are New Balance sneakers. I've worn them about three times. I bought them at Sports Depot. The insoles have been replaced with ones that support the arches of the feet (I threw away the original insoles). I bought the insoles at Depot at the same time I bought the sneakers. They can be worn by both men and women. I'm a parent, and I've stopped wearing them because I'm worried about them getting dirty, so I'm selling them. Thank you for your understanding. No stains, tears, or odors. Made in: Other Asian countries
