These shoes are great. I was running using Puma shoes previously, and these new balance are much better. Those dang Chinese pumas are not comfortable for running at all. I'm very happy with these shoes.

I'll give five stars to the service at Road Runner Sports, but unfortunately, the New Balance shoes have a defect in the right heel that make them very uncomfortable. I'm returning the shoes for an exchange and will probably choose another brand. Through all, Road Runner Sports has been very easy to deal with. I was especially surprised how fast I received the shoes given that they were so deeply discounted from retail price.

This shoe is great for running on/off road and as a casual everyday shoe. Only problem I had with ordering was sizing. Every NB shoe I have ever worn is size 12D. My size 12D was too short and too tight. So, after returning, I went with a 12.5D which was slightly big but acceptable. Even with the double shipping cost and return, my shoes were still less than $100.

Due to the high reviews on Amazon I bought these sight unseen which I have never done with a running shoe. Pros: Good fit look good well padded made in USA Cons: Stiff high price for what you get. My previous running shoes were Adidas trail runners, I don't remember the style but it is discontinued. They were flexible, comfortable, and cost less than these NB's. Wish I could find more of those. A couple two-mile jogs to break in the NB's produced slightly sore feet but that's to be expected. All in all an OK shoe but probably not what I would have bought if I had tried them on first.

The New Balance Men's MR993 is an excellent running shoe, the construction is very high to outstanding quality, the cushioning is excellent, the design is also excellent and the shoes are very durable and comfortable. Jon Green

Great shoes for a big guy like me who likes to walk - this is my second pair. The MT580 series has plenty of room for toes and lots of cushion to absorb the shock of walking on cement. I also like the navy blue/gray design.
