New Balance Men's MR890 Running Shoe

I am 5'10' and 176 pounds. I tread rather lightly, and land on my midfoot. I am also training for a marathon and currently running approx 30-35 miles a week, mostly on roads. My marathon pace is around 3:20~. I have a mid width 9.5 foot and this shoe fits perfectly, with enough room to spare in the toebox to prevent me loosing any toenails.These shoes feel rather light, but not too light. After two runs feel very kind to the feet, but firm and responsive. The shoe feels high quality, and very comfortable. I love the trad design, and the large mesh areas on the shoe.I am waiting a few weeks to see how the shoe ages, and then I might just buy another pair so I can alternate two identical pairs.As always, with NB higher end shoes the material and build quality are noghing less that excellent.This is not a true minimalist shoe, and not a race day shoe. it is flat, and rather light, and offers a great combination of responsiveness and control.More to come in several months.

Hello runners,I'm a 48 year old male and run 35 miles per week. I moved from a neutral cushioning New Balance 759 shoe into the 890. They are definitely light and my speed improved an average of .2 MPH, which is pretty substantial. They fit well, nice and snug in the midsection with still some room in the forefoot. True to size if you own any NB products already.Of course, that lightness comes at a cost, and that's in the form of less padding. Some doctors and running experts are now saying that less padding is actually better for you but, even if true, you might want to ease into running with these if you're weekly mileage is high. I noticed some aches and pains when I started with these and had to back off for a while.Style-wise, I'd like to add that these shoes are different than other running shoes. Specifically, the uppers are made of a thinner, simpler material and the sole seems simpler too. Hate to say it, but the construction comes off as a little "cheap" at first blush, but they feel good like I said earlier.UPDATE: I'm on my third pair of these now, and happy to say that I'm suffering less aches and pains than ever! Knee pain totally gone, don't be fooled by the thinner padding, these shoes work fine!! I'm getting 350-400 miles out of a pair, but I only weigh 160 and my running style is pretty easy on shoes overall, I'd say. Oh, and the simple upper I mention earlier stays cleaner and wipes off easier than any shoe I've owned. I plan to keep buying these as long as NB makes them. . .

I have been using these shoes for four months now and I have to admit, it is the best shoes I have from New Balance. I have had over ten different models from New Balance and this was the only one I felt completely satisfied with. I don't run but I play competitive volleyball and since I don't use regular volleyball shoes, I normally use cross trainers. However since I loved these shoes for walking, I tried it on the volleyball court and guess what? It rocked... nice lightness lets you move quicker and the sole support is pretty solid. I love the feel when you make quick steps it's like playing on sponges. My feet feel a lot better as well. I will buy this model as long as they keep making it.

I have been running in the same shoe for years, going through 4 different versions of the Asics Cumulus. When I was originally fitted for the shoe way back when, they ran a little narrow so I was given a 4E width. The problem is I have simply stayed at that width over the years while the shoe toe box has widened. When I finally got serious about running, I decided it was time to do some real research and figure out how might be able to minimize my lower leg issues, gain some speed, and just not labor as much through the run. The puppies, at a 2E width seem to fit the bill perfectly. I literally just had them delivered, put them on and ran a quick 3 miles. The run felt great. I know it is only one run, it could be the excitement of having a new shoe....but I really felt a difference and I'm excited to take them out again soon.

First things first - I love these shoes. I only run maybe 15 miles a week right now, but I've been a more serious runner all my life, and these are by far and away the best shoes i've ever worn. The one drawback - on some models the laces just don't stay tied. I actually own 5 pair now, and on some of the ones i bought later they seemed to add some friction/layers to the laces. But the early models,...they come untied sometimes 2-3 times in just 5 miles. I've actually been a devoted NB user for 30 years, and these shoes are the best...light, they fit well,...great shoes. But it is irritating having to stop and re-tie the laces, especially more than once in just a few miles.

I run 30-35 miles a week and have put a couple weeks worth of miles on these so far. They are very light and with a pair of green Super Feet - the best shoe I've found to keep my mild PF and ITBS issues away. I'm 6'2"/175/32yo. My most recent shoe was the NB 1080 - which was too heavy for me. I've moved to a mid-foot strike (or at least less of a heel strike) and the 1080 was overkill after the form adjustment. These are better suited to my changing form and I'm injury free so far.Update - I've been able to up my milage since my PF has now more or less gone away. Is it the shoe? The change in form? Combination? I have no idea. Whatever the cause - I am now running 35-40 miles per week, faster than ever and ordered a second pair to keep at the gym.

Mejor de lo que me esperaba. Leí buenos comentarios sobre su calidad desde USA y son ciertos. Peso 90kg y hago 7km/semana

New Balance ist für mich die Marke, wenn es um Lauf- und Freizeitschuhe geht.Was gefällt mir besonders an diesem Modell sind:- Form und Farbe- Stabilität- Haftung auf unebenen Gelände- Der Fuß wird stabil gehalten- AtmungsakitvitätDiesen Schuh kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.

Like the lightness of the shoe and wide base for stability. The only downside are the laces. They are not the usual type of lace that one would find with runners and they are quite long as well. Overall, I am happy with my choice. KB from Delta, BC
