New Balance 858

A good shoe if you like a lot of padding with your support.

The stability web in the midfoot of the 858 (an update of the 857) has been extended for more support. The toe-box is lower, and the SBS cushioning pad in the rearfoot is now a shaped insert. The N-Lock lacing system has been reduced and a lightning dry system means ... Continue reading

I was a avid NB runner until the 855's and they were so poor that I changed to using Asics. The best thing I can say about the 858's they are the best shoes since the 854's they are well cushioned offer a stabl Continue reading...

Does anyone know anything about the NB 858? If it is the 857 replacement (the 857 has disappeared from the NB web-site) is it as good?

I'm due to replace my 857s soon and wonder if these should be my next shoe.

Any advice from you guys would be much appreciated.

Yes it is the replacement - am planning on getting some myself. I know this through my running shop man who told me to wait a few weeks for them when I went in with my 857s.

I run in 857s on some rough tracks and they could definitely do with more cushioning.

Why is this thread in bold?

I'm looking forward to trying this new shoe as I do find my 857s are very clunky. I hope they've gone back to something similar to the 854.

That said, they're mooted as "being lighter" but RW has the 858s as 2g heavier than the 857s!

Maybe lighter in colour ? ;-)

I'm fancying buying a pair of these. What's the general opinion? I've run in 857's with no problems other than they seem to take a bit of breaking in. I've fallen foul of buying upgraded models before and finding them totally unsuitable.

Sorry to bump. Just wondering if anyone can confirm how these compare to NB 857s and if they are a similar fit. I've been happy with my 857s and am considering grabbing a pair of 858s cheaply online. Any thoughts?

Thanks
