FYI: I emailed New Balance and they recommended these:
"Thanks for writing. The replacement for the MR749EST is our M770v3, with more cushioning and stability. Here is a link to view the M770v3:"

In the meantime I went to a local shop and bought M670 wide trainers. I've worn them for a 5k, and a 10k and they seem to do the job - although I'm tempted to get these recommended by NB too!
