"Nothing is wrong with the shoes for someone that likes a lot of cushion and/or "bounce" in their stride. I felt like I was working a bit harder to get my feet off the ground since I was melting into the cushion. These also might be good for heavier runners - I pound the pavement, but these were not good to my knees for that."dar89

(5)

Ease of use

I like New Balance's twisted laces.

(4)

Quality of Construction

Decent, well made shoe.

(5)

Fit

Fit to size.

(5)

Comfort

Very comfortable as a walking shoe. Comfortable for runners who need cushion. I didn't need that much cushion.

(2)

Value

VERY pricey for what I thought was added to the shoe: just more foam and soft insole.

(3)

Appearance

No flash, just cash.

(5)

Customer Service

Returned to my local running shoes store. I only put 30 miles on them after they sat in my closet for 4 months.

(4)

Performance

They worked as stated, very cushiony and pretty stable, with a decent arch.

Strengths

Cushion, arch support.

Weakness

Too much cushion. Not as much stability as I expected.
