I just bought a second pair of these shoes (I weight 155lb and have fairly normal, if skinny feet). They're excellent for anyone who's looking for a lightweight running shoe that also provides some medial support. I tried Adidas Boston 6 and do love their ride, but the lack of support is a problem for me when I go beyond a half marathon. Last night I ran 16 miles in these New Balance 1500v3 shoes and finished with minimal ankle paid and virtually no blisters. I'm planning to run the Boston Marathon in these shoes next month, in preference over the Adidas Boston 6 shoes (and my New Balance Vongos, which are also great, but a little heavier).
