New Balance Men’s MR769 NBx Stability Running Shoe,White/Yellow,10.5 EE

New Balance Men’s MR769 NBx Stability Running Shoe,White/Yellow,10.5 EE very nice walking shoes – Gene W. Lingenfelter – sacramento ca.
These are some of the best shoes I have ever walked in for long distances. I’ve had them for 3 or 4 month and use them all the time. I mostly use them on the treadmill. They are comfortable what more can I say!
This is a great shoe for combining lateral support with ample cushioning. I’m a 6′00″, 205lbs over pronator who had a tough time running in GT-2120’s because they are designed for a neutral gait. These shoes provide substantial stability in the heel area with an extra firm midsole which heavier runners will enjoy (less leg fatigue!). The heel height may be a bit much for some but I’m sure my frame will break it in nicely.

Fit: People have complained that this shoe runs a 1/2 size small. More likely, the issue is that the shoe is designed on a PL-1 last versus the wider SL-2 last that many runners are used to. The ‘last’ is basically the frame of the shoe that provides various shapes for different fits(straight, performance, racing, etc.)

The PL-1 last has a narrower toe area while SL-2 shoes(a popular design for older ND models) are wider in that area. I wear a D width, but I’d guess that wide-footed runners who got away with wearing a D in SL-2’s would probably need to go up in width to compensate for the more narrow designed PL-1’s.

More info about ‘lasts’ and how they correspond to each NB model at the New Balance website

Ultimately, these are a great shoe for those who need/want extra support in the heel. However, it may be worth a trip to a running store if you are unsure of which width is right for you. New Balance: The New Balance MR769 is a moderate stability trainer which features a TS2 medial post for smooth stability. Acteva midsole with D.T.S. in the heel and Abzorb in the forefoot area that provides a responsive and cushioned ride.

The New Balance MR769 is a stability shoe – Stability shoes are for runners who mildly overpronate (feet turning inward) and need extra support through the heel, midsole and post areas. Stability shoes will help reduce overpronation, which causes excessive foot motion and increases your risk of injury.

Features:

  • Nlock integrated lacing and webbing system that provides optimal fit support and security.
  • Abzorb A superior blend of cushioning and compression to help absorb shock on feet.
  • Transitional support system that has a multi-density medial support that creates a smooth transition from heel strike to toe off.
  • Acteva Lite that is 24% lighter than standard midsole foam.
  • Lightning Dry fabric that keeps you dry and comfortable by managing moisture transfer.
  • Stability web for optimal arch support that’s both rigid and lightweight while preventing midfoot flex.
  • Seamless lining.
  • 360 degree reflectivity.

  • New Balance Women’s Wr740 Nbx Stability Running Shoe,Black/Pink,9.5 B

    New Balance Women’s Wr740 Nbx Stability Running Shoe,Black/Pink,9.5 B New Balance Shoes – Jen_e –
    I ended up returning these shoes because they were the wrong size. They shipped quickly, but when returning it took a few days for the company to credit my account.
    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. New Balance: WR740 Great for long-distance runners in search of mild stability, the New Balance? 740 women’s running shoe features a medial post for pronation control and Abzorb? cushioning in both the heel and forefoot.
