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…

Pros
  • Engineered Mesh
Cons
  • Secret

Update: good, but not as good as the 1260s.

Bought to replace my favorites (New Balance m1260v7) as the 1260s are no longer made. I've had them for a few months now and use them when I walk my dogs several miles a day. And a few days at work. They're good but not great - the support is good for overpronation and they fit as expected. But the cushioning is noticeably less, I can feel it in the forefoot myself. I like that my shoes have a lot of cushioning under the ball of my foot while also providing pronation support so I can look…

Pros
  • ACTEVA Ultra Lite
Cons
  • Repair

Not 1260 but very good up to 200 miles

Bought my first pair of Rubix running shoes to replace my last pair of NB 1260v7. I ended up buying three pairs of 1260v7s because the entire 1260 series has worked really well for me over the years and I knew the v7 was discontinued when I bought it. I had read all the previous user reviews and knew in advance that the Rubix would not have the same quality as the 1260, but I've been using 1-2 pairs of NB runners a year since 2007 and wasn't willing to try other brands. When brand new the Rubix

Pros
  • Imported
Cons
  • Good but not great
