Comfortable Running Shoes
I've always loved the comfort of new Balance, and these kicks are no exception. I only run 5 miles a week, but I use these for playing football on turf and running around the city. The shoes are ventilated well. I've had comments on the screaming yellow color, some good, some bad. But I like the color-it's bold and bright and works well with my usual black running shorts.

Great Value
These shoes have the lightweight and breathability of the Nike Prestos, but they are much more stable and my foot doesnt slide around like the Prestos. I usually buy more expensive shoes but this is by far the best shoe for the price, I have ever bought. If your running on the road only then I would suggest different shoes but If you engage in a wide range of outdoor activities and you want a shoe to fit most occasions, then this is it.

My best shoes ever ....
After years of compromises I got introduced to the New Balance 872 by the able staff at Road Runner Sports in San Diego. Since that day I cannot wait to get out into the woods and run. Perfect fit, great room AND protection for the toes, medicine for my knees, sufficient support for my weakling ankles, NO weight! And, as a bonus, a screaming color that make me look really cool around my kids. Try it, run it, enjoy it!
