like they skimp on padding

Not sure, they hurt my feet a bit but I might try them for a week or two. The lining in the middle and closer to the fingers doesn't seem to be there and I wear a size 11 and they are very tight. They look about as cool as they get and that's the part about it, I wish they were more comfortable but I'm 265 pounds and maybe they're for the little boys. This is my tenth pair of sneakers that I collect and this is my most uncomfortable purchase and the fit is all I can say, someone else might have

Pros
  • Engineered mesh upper
Cons
  • Only available in black

Men's Toe Busters

I opened my shoe box and found beautiful shoes. Their shape and flexible material are perfect for my feet. The next day I went out for a bit. After a few kilometers I felt pain in my toes and stopped running. For some reason my toes kept breaking the front of the shoe while running. If not on the go, then fit. After walking carefully and noticing what was happening, I noticed that my feet were slipping off the insole due to the shoes. This has never happened to me with any other New Balance…

Pros
  • Rubber Sole
Cons
  • Durability

Foot size 7.5 EEE

I still have a pair of New Balance USA size 7.5-EEEE (my "unremarkable dress"). My doctor said I need them to relieve my plantar fasciitis. It was, but a few years ago they cost about $150. After our pup ate a pair of shoes and after my son recommended the Superfeet insoles with great results, I started shopping for New Balance (made overseas) at a popular sporting goods chain. Strangely, shoes made abroad were smaller, so I had to choose a larger size, size 8-EEEE. This worked pretty well for…

Pros
  • ABZORB midsole absorbs shock with a combination of cushioning and compressive strength
Cons
  • Trade-in

These aren't running shoes.

I agree with other reviewers who have commented that this is not a real 'run'. It's incredibly light, which is nice, but it sacrifices cushioning and stability. Have been using the 940V series for years but wanted to try the cheaper ones. You get what you pay for. The shoe size is really small as others have commented and I had to return my first order 11.5 4E for 12 2E. I am a low mileage, 10 mile per week, 67 year old runner. 680 wore out quickly in 4 weeks. Maybe good for short interval…

Pros
  • Made in the USA or Imported
Cons
  • Protection

There are sizes everywhere, it tends to run small

Good shoes for the price but the size is too small. My husband wears high end Allen Edmonds shoes in a size 11 but recently bought a size 11 1/2 New Balance 990v5 11 1/2 from a local retailer and paid about $200 after looking for a while after comfortable ones NB sneakers. I tried the Revain women's NB 680v6 on sale and found it comfortable as it's half the normal size so I convinced my husband to try the men's shoe as Revain is easy to refund. I first ordered a size 11.5 for my husband but…

Pros
  • ACTEVA midsole cushioning offers versatile and flexible support
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.
