In my opinion, New Balance is a well-known brand. The shoes are true to size, well made and almost all shoes have the perfect insole cushioning for comfort when walking or running lightly. I would not recommend running long distances in this shoe on a regular basis. In my opinion the running distance is at least 10 miles or more. New Balance offers other long distance running shoes for pronators like the NITREL v4 Trail and Foam 1080, Foam 860, etc.
