Review on Enhance Your Running Experience with New Balance Rubix Running Energy Men's Shoes by Ryan Mosqueda

Revainrating 2 out of 5

So disappointing - Road Running

I also used these to replace my (favorite) 1260s. What a disappointment. I walk 100 miles on them and run 30-40 miles a week. Since purchasing these shoes I have had more injuries than in the last 25+ years. During the break-in period, I got blisters that soaked my socks with blood. After I eventually got calluses, I had constant problems with my hips and lower back. The shoes are so comfortable I can't tell you why these issues occur, but I suspect it must be due to their pronation reducing properties. I can't run 6-7 miles without severe back pain. After decades of loyalty to New Balance, I think I might switch to Saucony.

Pros
  • Engineered Mesh
Cons
