4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, **IF**, October 10, 2008

This review is from: New Balance Women's WR768 Running Shoe (Apparel)

This can be a very good running shoe **IF** you pronate. There's a support on the inside of the shoe to help prevent this (and thus resulting problems). However if you do not (I don't), it can be quite uncomfortable.

Easy/cheat way to check - look at the soles of shoes you wear regularly. If they're worn to the insides (big toe side), then this might be the shoe for you. HTH someone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Many New Features On This Model!, June 24, 2009

I did a lot or research on this shoe (and several other models) before buying. Some sales people were just telling me the higher number model means a better shoe but that is not really the case. You have to look at the individual features for what you are looking for. The only difference between this model and the new 769 (and an extra $75) basically boils down to more cushioning which can easily be remedied with an insert. That being said this has a lot of the new features like N-lock, stability web, the TS2 cushioning system, along with several abzorb features and a liner. I tend to lean towards the wider width but took a chance on the medium B width and they are more than roomy. They feel like a wide to me. For $35 this was the best shoe for the money. They are very comfortable and they provide the right stability if you pronate while remaining comfortable. They did take a few days to break in and for my legs to "align" themselves after being used to turning in my balance was off but after that they were fine. I say for $35 you cannot go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for narrow feet!, April 28, 2009

I have narrow feet, especially the heel and have trouble finding shoes that fit comfortably. These shoes are comfortable and don't slip off my heel. My podiatrist recommended New Balance and said get something at least 700 (or higher) for good support and I can tell the difference between these and my last pair of tennis shoes. I have worn New Balance for a long time now since they are the only shoes to fit my narrow foot. But since these come in a 2A it's even better. If you have a narrow foot, especially a narrow heel, these shoes would be great for you.
