tennis shoes no sweat shop no child labor

The socks and such are made in the USA. The shoes are made in Indonesia. No children, above average wage with benefits. Read it for yourself.


I have the black low top.

I got my grand daughter the code pinks


I highly recommend them.

3. Thank you.
It's good to know there are union made products
that don't exploit workers.

I'll pass the word on these shoes.

:D :thumbsup:

4. Those are great
I have both of those shoes. :) New Balance also makes some of thier shoes in the US, but check labels because some lines are made in China. Or just buy here, they only have the US-made and animal-free lines: http://www.veganstore.com/index-store.html?parentid=23&deptid=17101
