New Balance shoes?

[Kwatt]

A question for the 12 EEEE wearers.

What model do you wear?

I need as much ankle support as I can get.


Thanks

Kwatt

I don't have new balance shoes right now, I have a pair of brooks 12 EEEEs. They were the widest in the store.

They are nice shoes. An added bonus is that NB tries to make all their shoes with USA materials and make them in the USA.

That's why NB shoes last longer. Sweat shops drive the price of the shoes down but also drive the quality of the shoe down; sorry Nike, Rebok, and almost every other shoe company.

NBs are great shoes; if you dont like a pair, try another. They make dozens of shoes, and each one has a special set of characteristics for different runners; some are for big heavy overpronaters, some are meant for neutral, efficient runners, some are meant for lightweight skinny types. For example, I've worn at least 5 pairs of NB shoes in the past few years, and loved all of them save one. I could not stand the 608s. They felt horrible. But that's because they are cross trainers and I want pure running shoes.

If you want the 2001, you might also want to look at the 1041, 991, 765 (the ones I might get next), or the 716.

As for the sizings, they seem to fit like most other shoes. The only exception are my current 805s; I could have gone a half size up. To be safe, I'd say go up a half size.

I've had some new balance shoes for over two years and they're still in great condition. so yeah, I'd say go for it. they're also very comfortable.
