Excellent shoes. I tend to wear these on my faster paced distance days and they feel awesome. Very impressed with the snappy fresh foam.

Love them as evidenced by the title above, however I am sad that NB dumped their brand loyalty program. I buy lots of shoes so cost matters also, or I would be running in the flagship 1080. Please bring back rewards or I will be looking at my other options soon which may include the competition.
Sincerely,
Kevin

I'm 6'2" and 175 lbs and run 25-35 miles per week. I wasn't completely happy with V2 of this shoe but V3 I feel they got everything right. I use this shoe for everything, speed, tempo, long runs, even non technical trails. I travel a lot and this is the shoe I take with me as it just works regardless of conditions.

I'm not a runner but I do walk a lot in my daily routine. These shoes are my favorite shoes at the moment. I currently own 6 pairs of New Balances shoes. They are all comfortable and serve different purposes but these are THE most comfortable! Right out of the box they fit great, no breaking in. I wear a 9-9.5w and got these in a 9.5w and they were perfect. The wide offers just enough room for my very wide foot. If you wear really low socks I would suggest wearing ankle length or higher to avoid rubbing behind the ankle.

I am a casual "older guy" jogger type & these really fit the bill. Well priced, soft yet firm & very much a joy for me to jog in. Definitely worth it on all levels.

Perfect fit. Super cushion in the heal and forefoot. I love the wild color.

Awesome running shoes for me. I’ve been buying this model for the past 3 years. Best choice for my marathon training runs.

I love the comfort of this shoe for daily training. The only problem that I have with the shoe is that I wish they would have the rubberized pods all the way across the toe box area of the sole because I under-pronate and do not land on the pods so I tend to wear them out rather quickly. You can also go fast in these shoes as every personal record I have set while training have been in these shoes.

The wider EE fit is great for my feet. These shoes have a neutral arch with max cushion, good for supination. The drop of the shoe is about a 6, which is great for easing hip and knee pain.

The width is little smaller of the expected. When ordering ask for a width one size wider. Out that it is an excellent alternative.

I liked these shoes so much I bought a second pair a week later. I'm 64 and put in 40-50 miles a week walking/jogging. I was having foot issues, bursitis and other. I bought these shoes hoping to alleviate the discomfort. Almost immediately my pain went away. I could feel the difference in the heel support with these shoes over my previous shoes. They fit perfectly and offer great support without feeling bulky (I'm a size 12). Great shoe!

Overall a great fit for a 9.5 D-width. There was a little too much volume in the toebox for a good lockdown though, so I put in an Ortholite insole and that helped. The width of the midfoot and toebox is perfect though, especially compared to a regular width of a New Balance 1080 v10 or a Hoka Clifton 7.
The ride is comfortable and bouncy, and these shoes offer great cushion in a lightweight package. I've put in about 80 miles and they are holding up well. The running experience in these shoes continues to be fun and reliable.

Second pair in my rotation. Run 20-30 miles a week and are holding up just like the older Beacon version. This version feels more secure with the sock like fit. Great training and all around runner.
