New Balance 1226

'shoes look good. breathable. good cushioning. forefoot's more flexible.'
Strengths:
really breathable upper. i can feel the draft on the top of my toes.
Weaknesses:
the inner part of the heels near the arches gets blisters. there's this hard foam which helps stabilizes the arch that rubs against the heels near the arches.
Overall:
I've changed the insoles for a more bouncy ride. It solved the blister issues. But the stock insoles give a more cushioned ride but you'd get blisters. Forefoot's more flexible than Lunarglides, which means you have more effort during toe-off. On the bright side, better workout for the calves. Shoes push you more to land on your forefoot. Overall, I still loved the shoes..
