Pros: comfortable and stylish
Cons: -
Summary: I am going to start this with the confession that I would prefer to NOT wear shoes ever. This is not only impractical but also socially unacceptable.

Pros: The comfort of these shoes is unbelievable compared to other running shoes.
Cons: I can't think of any!
Summary: INTRODUCTION: I'm on the track team so I had to try to find a pair of comfortable, durable, lightweight sneakers that would last the whole season. Well no the seasons over and I still wear them when I run! These are very comfortable running sneakers and ...

Pros: Comfort like slippers, superb grip, secure, tight feel.
Cons: Durability in question
Summary: The 803 is the first pair of New Balance shoes that I've owned. Bought them a little more than one year ago. I decided that I would spend a little more than normal on a good pair of crosstraining shoes, and I heard that NB shoes were very comfortable....

Pros: *VERY* comfortable, casual, nice colors, cheap
Cons: nothing! :o)
Summary: Gee whiz, I have not written on Epinions in a long time. Excuse me for my absence. School has started so my Epinion.com time has been slim to none.
Anyway, for school/running I bought a pair of New Balance 804 shoes. (THERE WAS NO 804, YES, I...

Pros: Fashionable product for those needing a casual shoe with an outdoor look.
Cons: Lacks necessary features to make it an adequate shoe for serious workouts.
Summary: When this category first appeared in the 90's most runners didn't pay too much attention. Besides to most runners a great pair of trail shoes for training were a pair you no longer wore for other workouts and didn't mind getting dirty. Also most runners...

Pros: comfortable, trendy, can be worn with anything
Cons: sometimes heavy
Summary: Because I try to run atleast a mile everyday and am a member of my school's track team, I try and find the best quality shoe for my needs. Many of my friends consider me "obsessed with sports shoes", which I am. Therefore, after doing a lot of research,...

Pros: comfort, don't show when dirty, don't slide off heel, light weight
Cons: pricey
Summary: Ok, so their not quite as incredible as my title makes them out to be, but the New Balance 803's are the first pair of running shoes I've ever owned that I didn't have to break in (and usually painfully I might add). The very day that I got them, I ran...

Pros: Light-weight. Extremely durable.
Cons: Nothing major.
Summary: The biggest thing these shoes have going for them is their durability. The soles on these shoes are absolutely the best I have seen on any shoe yet. I use these shoes for everyday wear as well as running 3-4 miles a day. Even after over a year and a half...

Pros: Style, comfort, and durability all rolled up in one pair of shoes.
Cons: A little bit on the pricey side.
Summary: First let me start off by saying that I received the NB 803's as a birthday gift. I had wanted them simply because I thought they looked great. They go well with my jeans and shorts that I always wear. When buying sneakers, I always look for the nice...

Pros: stylish, comfy, good for trail running
Cons: a bit expensive, everyone has them
Summary: There used to be veritable axiom in my world when it came to buying running shoes- only Nike and Adidas made cool-looking shoes...and possibly Reebok; they're a little streaky. Anyway, my point is that until now, my narrow mind only allowed my to buy...

Pros: Attractive. Good fit. Popular with the younger set.
Cons: Those round laces fray up and knot.
Summary: I love the shoe man at the mall. He helps me find shoes for Caleb who is 11 years old and a size 7 shoe. That may not sound like a big deal, but it really is.
Size 7 is in the mens section which means my little guy with his narrow feet has to...

Summary: I am not a good runner but like to run. I hate wearing shoes in general. I have wide feet. I am pigeon-toed when I run. Now that I've listed all my idiosyncrasies, let me tell you how much I love these shoes. SUPPORT The arch ...
