Most sustainable brand

Sneakers from brands from the USA are associated with high quality, striking design and comfortable to wear. Today, the leaders among American firms are New Balance, Nike and Skechers. Manufacturers rightfully occupy the top lines in most ratings of sports shoes. And this is understandable: here, reliability and durability are combined with reasonable prices. And NB completely bypasses Adidas in popularity.

True, having stopped your attention on American products, even the highest quality and proven ones, you need to be on the alert. Demanded brands are often faked by craftsmen from the Middle Kingdom. Therefore, we advise you to carefully check the originality of the purchased sneakers. This will not only save you from buying a fake, but also protect your feet from the harm that low-quality shoes can cause.
