New Balance has been making shoes in Flimby, Cumbria since 1982, and its Made in UK line is where the Boston brand puts famous silhouettes like the 991 through their paces close to home. This pair is a great one for the dawn of the autumn season: the open mesh upper looks a lot like a thermal waffle shirt, wrapped in suede and leather in inky greys, with reflective N logos on the sides. It’s made for the first properly cold morning, and the rest.
