I run in New Balance (last 10 years) because I have wide feet and NB suits me best. After buying an NB 840 for several years I switched to an NB 940. Definitely a step up. Same great cushioning and fit, but better support and a lighter feel. Will be my favorite running shoe in the future. I don't use more than a half marathon for running medium distances. I've been running in these shoes for 3 months and they're still like new. I highly recommend this product.
