The MR940 is supposed to replace the MR850, a nice stability running shoe. This one doesn't compare favorably to its predecessor. 1) They fit differently -- much roomier in the toe box and not as secure in the heel. 2) The overall fit has changed. I wear a 8 1/2 in an 850; but the same size in the 940 was really tight; and when I reordered the shoe in a 9, they were considerably larger than the half-size difference. Also, the cushioning in this shoe is greater than the 850, not as firm in the forefoot, but good firmness the heel. Also, the shoe has added flex throughout the footbed. I'm going back to the 850 -- the 940 is far from a good replacement for 850. I feel that NB missed the mark upgrading a good stability shoe.
Brands I'd also recommend: New Balance MR1123 for super stability and comfort.

Awesome shoes! My husband loves them and wears them every day. Amazing arch support and probably the best pair of shoes he's ever owned.

I don't do tons of running these days, so I won't comment on how they are for that. I had been wearing the 850's for years and switched to the 940 when they got discontinued. I am very happy with these. The 850's ran a half-size small for me, but the 940's are back at my normal size, although they are narrower, so I had to get the wide.

An excellent shoe in my opinion. Tried several NB styles from the 800's through 1200's and this shoe was by far the best I tried. True to size, holds heel well without slippage like other brands, and solid construction.

Nice shoe, decent arch support. I way overpronate and this may be one of the best out there, I am going to return for 11 1/2, which is odd as i never wear anything other than a 11.

First time NB buyer. I didn't know what I was missing. I'm an overpronator and this style helps tremendously with cushion and protection.
