Another great shoe. I have high arches and wide feet and this does well for me. I put about 15-20 kms on the shoes a week (all treadmill) and they feel great after a month. I rotate with another pair of NB 902s. Being deployed this shoe actually gets comments on being a good looking deployed shoe as well. I'd like to add a thanks to Zappos for shipping to a deployed location; it is greatly appreciated.

These are great training shoes. They are lightweight and flexible. I have had two pairs of this model and they both have been of the same quality. New Balance is the way to go if you have narrow feet like I do.

I only buy New Balance for my running shoes because the are for running and they are extremely comfortable. New Balance is also very well know for their excellent running shoes, its very hard to go wrong with them. This particular pair is for stability. Do not buy this shoe or another shoe for looks alone, especially when it comes to running because you need performance and comfort. I would recommend this shoe if you have foot problems with your arches. Be sure to go to a running store or a podiatrist if you have any problems with your feet or knees while you run because shoes like this can eliminate the pain and sourness. I am giving this shoe four stars because I am worried one of the N's could fall off. The previous model was more durable, but I recommend New Balance in general. You cannot go wrong.

These shoes are comfortable. They are lightweight. They look cool. I have had them for about a month. So far, so good! The angle of my foot while I run feels really good. I like a lot of shock absorption, but i do not like a shoe that has too much heel elevation. These are a good middle ground.

These shoes are very comfortable to run and have worked out well so far. They are also light. They are not the softest running shoes that I have ever owned but they are very durable and good for mid-range runs.

NB shoes are one of the few that I can wear comfortably with my 4E wide feet and orthotics. NB offers a wide variety in my size and Zappos carries much of this wide variety to choose from. This particular show seems to run a little narrow in the instep, but other that it is, as usual, a great shoe. And for Zappos, they are just the BEST that you can deal with, fast, efficient, and caring, just can't beat that combination of customer service! I always turn to Zappos, first, and I have not ever been disappointed!
Other brands recommended by reviewer: I have tried other brands in my size, and they just do not fit as well as New Balance shoes!

This was my first use of Zappos,and I was extremely pleased with the service and selection. The shoes are great, and the size options are better than any stores I've checked. In the past I was normally stuck waiting for special orders, or living with a shoe that was too narrow or wide. I've got about 120 miles on these shoes and they're working great!

Great looking, great feeling, lightweight and just the right amount of support. Bought the silver with the goldish accents and it looks so much better in person. The color combo goes with everything. The mesh on the outside is really nice looking and also keeps the shoe cooler. Highly recommend! Zappos is the best. I just keep coming back time and time again. Thanks.

The New Balance 769 have been great. I had the NB 768 and was looking for a replacement. So many times the next generation model does not perform; these do. I just finished a half marathon (street and some dirt paths) and they did fine. I do wish they had more reflective material, something on all four sides of the shoes, so there is nothing wrong with the performance of the shoes.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: If you wore the 768....buy the 769.

This is one of the few quality shoes that comes in a 4E width which I really need. The style is very sharp and not overtly flashy which I prefer. I run in them daily and they are very comfortable even for long trips to amusement parks or weekend plans. The only slight I really have against them is that the shoelaces are AMAZINGLY long, but I know you can replace them or in my case, I just tuck them in so I don't step on them. Also the mesh appears to be very easy to stain, so if you like your shoes to stay white as they were when new, it might prove difficult.

Let me upgrade!
I've been wearing Nike shoes for all around sports like running, working out, volleyball, etc... Then I needed new shoes for running so I've been wearing NB ever since for the last 3 years. I started out with the 767 model which fit and felt great. The year after that I need new running shoes and the guy recommended going up to the 768 model. This year I wanted shoes with better arch support since my 768s were starting to hurt my shins when I run. I was very surprised and pleased that Zappos had the 769s which were a step up from my model. I used the same size as the previous shoes and they fit great!
My girlfriend even got the women's version of mine. We are always pleased with how fast we get the shoes, the very next day.
I would say it’s worth getting the shoes at Zappos if we get to try them on the next day.

GREAT Stability Shoe -
Very light, good fit. After 30 miles of running, I added an insole. Ran a fast 10K at the Flying Pig. Will buy the shoe again.

Best running shoes I have ever owned...
Of course they are the only running shoes I have ever owned. Anyway, I love them. They are light and comfortable and take a 210 pound pounding! Highly recommended.

Have tried 3 or 4 different brands of stability shoes and these seem to be the best for me, the shoes seem light and very responsive. Also the shoe does a great job on the trails too, just got done with a 10k trail run and the shoe was awesome.

Made in the USA -
I ordered this shoe in the yellow and the red Asics 2140 in my usual size, 15 4E. Love Zappos, ordered them Saturday and they came today. Thanks Zappos for upgrading my shipping. I was looking for a new shoe as my NB 908 trail shoes (my everyday shoe) was done for. These are wonderful, good forefoot cushion; light, nice color in Yellow, excellent fit. Asics were terrible, couldn't get my foot in them they were so narrow and the instep so low. These NB's are made in America, for Americans. What can I say; I'm sticking with NB for good. I needed them fast as I leave for Vegas Thursday and need something good for walking and running. Insoles weren’t good (as usual for most shoes) but my orthotics fit great in there.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: NB 908/909, Nike Zoom Structure 11, any other NB's.

 |  | Most of the time people just email to complain. This is just the opposite. I'm totally thrilled with my purchase, as I have been in the past just buying shoes. This is going to be the best Christmas ever for my mom. I was a wee bit unsure about ordering some clothing online for her since she is so incredibly fussy, but this item is perfect! The quality is awesome and I will make sure I tell everyone who shops online to check out Zappos! Thank you so much and Happy Holidays! |  | ~ Lori L., October 20 2009
