4.0 out of 5 stars Buy a FULL Size larger than normal, June 4, 2009

By	B. May (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: New Balance Women's WR1224 Running Shoe (Apparel)

I've been a NB runner for years in this series- first 1221, then 1222. I skipped the 1223 and bought 1224 this year. Be wary on buying from the internet b/c the sizing on this shoe is different than previously. In both the 1221 and 1222, I was an 8. In this shoe, I'm a 9! I ordered the 8.5 and now I have to return it-- even that's too small. The toe box in particular seems a lot tighter than on previous shoes. So make sure to order the right size for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super support if you need it, February 1, 2009

By	M. EPTON (Montgomery, AL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: New Balance Women's WR1224 Running Shoe (Apparel)

These shoes are great. One thing you may not know about New Balance is that the higher the number in the model number, the greater the support is. These are top of the line. If you have dealt with foot problems or injuries, you will certainly appreciate the support these offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent "Athena" Running Shoes, April 24, 2009

By	H. Ritchey (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: New Balance Women's WR1224 Running Shoe (Apparel)

If you're in the "Athena" category of women runners, this is an excellent running shoe for you. Most women's running shoes are designed to support a weight of no more than about 140-150 pounds. If you're over that weight (like a great percentage of the American public, since the US average female weight is 163 lbs!), then you'll want a shoe that is built a bit tougher. The stability design of this shoe, combined with the superb cushioning, makes it just about perfect.
The 1224 has more cushioning that most stability shoes that I have tried, and rides very well.
I've logged my first 100 miles on these shoes and they're holding up beautifully. They are a bit more in price, but I figure I'll be able to wear these through 400-500 miles, versus trading out at 300, so it's worth it to me.
