5.0 out of 5 stars great shoe at a good price, April 14, 2009

This review is from: New Balance Women's WR740 NBx Stability Running Shoe (Apparel)

I'm typically a low mileage runner (5-10 miles a week) and have tried many different more expensive shoes in search of the perfect shoe, especially back in the day of training for longer races. Nothing I've tried has compelled me to buy a second pair until this one. as the other reviewer said, NO break in time, I just put these on and ran out. I do, as with all other shoes, put in an arch insole, as my feet crave more support there. They feel good and am going to purchase another pair before these get discontinued and I can't find them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Stability and Support, June 27, 2008

I bought these shoes in black two days ago and I can't believe how good they fit and feel. No break-in period necessary.

The black pair have cool patent-leather type accents that dress them up a bit. A very nice change from predominantly white athletic shoes.

I have serious foot problems and have a hard time finding shoes that I can comfortably wear and look good, too.

These fit the bill 100 percent!

As soon as I pulled these out of the box, I stuffed my size 9 feet in them. I expected them to be tight, as my feet are slightly wider than a medium but not wide enough for a wide in most brands. Nothing had prepared me for the comfortable feel of taking my first few steps in these New Balance shoes. There is no pinching or tightness and plenty of cushioning. (I have a high arch and had to be careful about not overtightening the laces--that WAS uncomfortable.)

The heel is about 1.75", so those of us who are short may get a bit of a psychological boost. :) And those who are overweight will find these shoes very accommodating, both supportive and stable, for their workouts.

One thing I need to point out is that the pink/black has more of a purplish pink than a true, clear pink. Cosmetic observations aside, the shoes seem sturdy and well-made and I expect to get a lot of use out of them. For this price point, I am very satisfied.
