BIG shout of GRATITUDE to Jamie Graham, Rosemary Mento & Staff at nbretail.com.
Jamie fitted me yesterday with a brand new pair of New Balance MW1569 (Gore-Tex) “Country Walking Shoes.”
I had only the worn-down pair of sandals shown, which I’ve been wearing since Charlotte, North Carolina. These sandals were not the best way to walk into winter in New York, lol! These new waterproof, high-top shoes will easily get me to New York, and then some! Jamie and staff also ensured I was prepared with other gear for the road. They gave me a pair of super helpful running pants–an important layering piece. They also offered me tops; however, I’m good to go on athletic shirts for now.
I happily departed with valuable new essentials for the road (YAY!!!)–and better than those, a big, happy, running store hug!!!
Thanks so much Jamie, Rosemary and NBRetail staff!!!

I’ve been wearing these sandals almost exclusively since Charlotte, North Carolina. This is quite the upgrade!!
