New Balance MR805 SKU #7425404(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Running shoes - Shoes are too tight. Also, seem very light, which may be an advantage for some, but don't have support that I seek in New Balance. No arch support.

Not for long distance - Most uncomfortable shoes I have ever run in. I generally only run 2-4 miles on a given day and after the first 6 minutes of running had to walk home and change my shoes.

The perfect walking and running shoe! I finally decided to splurge a little on a good, quality pair of walking and running shoes. The comfort is amazing! I mainly use them for walking. I am a fast-paced walker and this shoe provides the comfort in the much needed areas during my five-mile lunch walk. I also take these to the gym, where they serve very well in running and other machines. I was looking for a shoe with well air ventilation, and these are it! The mesh on the top and sides makes for proper ventilation; you can even fill the wind through your feet! Slipping these shoes on and off is a breeze, and the quality of the shoe is very good. Plus, they are very good looking. I only wish it had better arch support, but it's okay. I am very satisfied!

Best running shoes I have used so far - I have been working on my midfoot strike running. These shoes have worked out very well for me. I know there is a chi running shoe but my foot is too big for the current shoe size. I picked this shoe because it had the best and closest results to the Chi running shoe.

Decent shoe, but narrow - I ordered these shoes extra wide because I have wide feet. I got the size 11.5 and they were so tight and narrow I had to order a size 12 extra wide. They fit, but believe it or not, are still on the narrow side. I’m not sure why New Balance has such a wide variance in the way their shoes fit. About the shoes: they are NOT good for street jogging. They are literally made for interval/sprint work on turf or grass. If you do a lot of intense exercise on a field (sprinting, crab crawls, lunges, bodyweight squats, medicine ball work) then these shoes are great. They have a "grip" sole that wraps up the front of the shoe and the sides, giving you maximum benefit when launching or pushing. They are not cushioned enough for long distance running. These would be good for the gym too as they are lightweight and are molded enough to give you a "natural" feel for your stance without tremendous padding and ankle support. Boxers and MMA guys would probably find this a wearable shoe in the gym. Overall a decent shoe, but consider going up a whole size if you have wide feet.

Very, very nice shoe - Perfect for the heat of Dallas' summer days, these shoes BREATHE, baby! Comfortable for a neutral gait, light, adequate cushioning, sleek styling. A terrific shoe. I got the white/blue/gold color way. The gold is shiny, and at first I felt it was a bit too flashy for my tastes, but I've grown to really like it - and really, people aren't THAT interested in your shoes anyway. Seriously.
