New Balance 768

'GREAT SUPPORT AND CUSHIONING IN A REMARKABLY LIGHT SHOE'
Strengths:
Lighter than many other stability shoes. Good depth to tread maintaining good grip on variety of surfaces and conditions. Like the eyelets as they reduce pressure points on the bridge. Laces prevent slipping once tied.Nice touch. Closer fit than many and variety of width sizes should ensure more people get the right fit. Plenty of cushioning in the heel and getting a better roll forward onto the toe
Weaknesses:
Yet to find any
Overall:
I was surprised by how comfortable and light this shoe was and also by the complete lack of hot spots

'HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BUT SOME COMPROMISES'
Strengths:
Hits the spot and does the job. Wide selection of variants (Salts, double caffeine, fruit flavours) Good size
Weaknesses:
Thick, thick, thick paste. Need to get it down quick or take with water
Overall:
For me, one of only two I can use and it is second choice but it never lets me down.

'HITS THE SPOT ON ALL COUNTS'
Strengths:
Okay taste as far as gels go and can be done without water to follow. Reasonable selection of flavours. Reasonable size to carry. Good ebnergy hit. Use 1-2 for a half and 3-4 for a full marathon and work every time
Overall:
Fair priced, easy carried, does what it says on the pack. Big tick

'CONSISTENCY DOESN'T DO IT FOR ME'
Strengths:
Mild flavour
Weaknesses:
Bit on the big side, runny, unusual consistency which I found quite disconcerting and slimy
Did not agree with my digestive system
Overall:
Lie many products need to find what's right for you. This is not mine
