We stopped by during our road trip. The factory store isn’t that valued as I expected. Comparing with the experience I went shopping in the NH outlets, I would like to say this place is okay to see styles maybe try on but not buy. Even it is a factory store, the prices of the shoes are at least $ 40+ even the basic style.

Bought three things on my last visit with varying results. Running sneakers for about $ 70 that have held up to a lot of use. I couldn’t find the same model online but I think the price was about 15% cheaper than comparable same brand. A pair of sweats didn’t last very long. It’s impossible to say whether the wash machine did the damage or if these were imperfects, but they were comfortable and then ripped within several washes. A pair of hiking sneakers isn’t as water resistant as I would have thought but they are otherwise comfortable. What I did like is the deals they run, I hit a threshold and got enough off to buy a tank I wouldn’t have purchased otherwise.

New Balance is one of the last American shoe manufacturers left, actually maintaining three manufacturing plants in Maine. This was my first visit to the Oxford Factory Store; slightly larger than the Skowhegan store. They had several«minimalist» running shoes, including a trail runner that would have cost double at Maine Running or similar store. My better half picked up a pair of running shoes and some other running gear.

Ironically situated next to Oxford Plains Speedway since both involve time trials, New Balance offers lots of bargains for the athletically minded. Service is informed and helpful steering you towards shoes that will actually fit correctly. While the prices still are fairly high for an outlet, one can’t help but imagine that with the Casino down the street attracting more and more visitors to the area that this outlet might be the first of many to join it. The area needs more improvements as it is pretty down at the heels.

Love this place! Been coming for years. They have SOME wide width women’s runners and I pretty consistently can get a pair. Get 10% off w. your Oxford Casino card.

Tough to rate: the selection is indeed excellent, prices are good, and all inventory is easily available to try. However, of 5 pairs of shoes we have bought there over the years, 3 started coming undone way too quickly. NB shoes bought elsewhere lasted way longer somehow. It seems somewhat unlikely to be wholly due to bad luck; supply-chain quality control may be an issue. Those who live close and are in a position to return defective stuff would probably have no problems. Out-of-staters should beware. A sneaky thing would be to try a shoe model there, then order from Zappo’s, I guess. Those are easy to return if they start coming apart prematurely.
