"Nice shoes for those with Achilles soreness. Got me off the sofa and on the road, can't ask for more than that after a long nagging injury."gluestick
Ease of use
Ummmm....
Quality of Construction
Although I am closing in on 50 miles (tough winter miles) the shoes still look pretty good. No fraying or wear on seams and soles still look new.
Fit
I was typically wearing 11.5 size shoes, not sure if these run a little different or if my feet are bigger.
Comfort
This is my first stability shoe and I couldn't be happier. My Achilles tendinitis cleared up quite quickly with the extra support.
Adjustability
Plenty of lace holes, nice fit.
Durability
They are holding up nicely. Retailer told me they are good for 500-600 miles. We'll see about that.
Value
They aren't cheap sale shoes off the shelf at big box sporting goods, but if you are serious about running, you get what you pay for.
Appearance
Better than average, although I am partial to green...
Customer Service
My local NB store rocks. Until now I stayed away from such specialty retailers and thought they were a waste of money, I will now only shop for running shoes at such places.
Performance
Not the lightest or fastest shoe, but definitely the one I want to wear while logging big miles.
Strengths
Provide comfort and stability to minor overpronators like me.
Weakness
Not much, maybe a little heavy, but I'll likely still race in them.
