What: New Balance 769 Running Shoe

Who Benefits: New Balance will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this shoe to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Why You Want It: Who doesn't need a new pair of exercise sneakers? Personally, I know mine are all thrashed, but I hate spending money on shoes that are solely for exercise purposes. Argh, I'd rather put the money towards new Loubies. Seems like such a waste to me. But, knowing that part of my money was going to a great cause would definitely make me feel a lot better about the whole thing. And, when it comes to finding running shoes that are a little more fashionista-friendly than most, you can't do much better than New Balance.

I don't know much about what makes one running shoe better than the other, so I'll just quote the NB folks... this "Lightweight mesh trainer offers optimal cushioning and moderate stability for a highly responsive ride. Lightning Dry lining helps keep feet cool and dry during long runs." Sounds quality. I'll bite.
