A great trainer,a little pricey but great once on, I must say fast and light enough for all distances.

great feel when on,very responsive the Red / Orange great colour.

A bit pricey, but didnt pay anything like £95 for mine.there are NO problems with the toe area I have wide feet didnt even get the widest fitting and have loads of room, cant see what the testers problem was.

a great top end trainer /racer.

Great shoe that provides all the cushioning I need.

The best New Balance shoe I've run in yet - the cushioning is great - I've put alot of mileage into these shoes this year and they are still holding up. Plus I have them in red and I think they look fantastic!

They are quite pricey but for the amount of miles I've got out of them they are worth it.

I love the new balance product and will be sticking with it.

A great shoe, and made in the UK!

Comfortable and lightweight
Well cushioned
Available in different width fittings

A bit pricey

My first pair of New Balance shoes and I am suitably impressed. I bought the red ones as they were the only colour in stock at the time and was a bit unsure about the colour, but have learned to love them and they don't show the dirt as much as white would.

Reviewers have mentioned the 'narrow' toe box as a problem but they are available in 3 width fittings, D, 2E and 4E. I have the 2E fitting, they have been fine and I have fairly wide feet.

I have done about 150 miles in them so far, including one marathon which I completed pain free with no blisters and no black toenails - amazing.

I do think they are a bit on the pricey side at £95 RRP, but if you can get them for about £75 to £80 (as I did) they are good value.

And I love the fact that they are manufactured in the UK.

Will definitely have another pair.

great all round trainer, super cushioning for those putting in lots of miles - faultless.

Lightweight, breathable, comfortable and super, super cushioning.

None noted, but have got dirty very quickly compared with my 1062,63 and 64's due to the white colouring, but only cosmetics.

Excellent trainer and by far the most cushioned I have used. I have started with the 62's and have gone with the times, these are very good comfy trainers. I am big framed, so need that extra cushion and cannot fault these. I am currently doing between 30 - 40 miles per week.
