New Balance 857

It is a completely different shoe to the 854, and not everyone will like this, but it is very stable, nicely cushioned and smooth.

The 857 could prove controversial. Why? Its launch will finally see New Balance withdraw the 854, a shoe that it had kept selling in the UK despite introducing the 855 and then the 856, and there's a chance that fans of the 854 just won't like the 857. Instead of ... Continue reading

A good shoe but can be improved. Mind you never found a 4E shoe that was light weight. Mind you when I did put my lighter racers on they never felt so light. Continue reading...

A very good shoe, perhaps a bit heavy for racing and speedwork, but maybe that's why they last so long! Replaced by the 858 which I've not tried. Continue reading...

Have ordered another pair without hesitation. I wonder what the 858's will be like in comparison? Continue reading...

Just started running - bought the trainers (New balance) white - now they are dirty. What's the best way of cleaning them? Ideas gratefully accepted.

Done that - but dirt stain on fabric prove difficult to move - have washed tops with nail brush and hot soapy water. Still not 100% clean.

Just bought a pair myself this afternoon, replacing a well used pair of Brookes Adrenaline GTS 4s.

Felt brilliant on in the shop (Running Bear, Alderley Edge) so I'm looking forward to trying them out tomorrow. My first comments about them though were 'theyre a bit white?!', but I thought I'll soon sort that out :-D

If you want a pair of white trainies, try a pair of adidas classics and don't forget the 20" 24ct gold bling chain ;-)

It's never occurred to me to try and clean my trainers

Lukewarm water, washing up liquid and a nail brush. Rinse with cool water and allow to air dry.

You'll never get them 'box fresh' but who cares?! Real runners go for the 'lived in' look.
