This is one of the better New Balance Shoes I've purchased the past couple of years. I use it a lot on the Treadmill and find that it provides a lot more support than shoes I've bought previously. One of the better combinations of lighter weight PLUS excellent support.  Seems to me that the move to go lighter weight with many other shoes (including New Balance) has resulted in less support. My only advice..get another color.  It draws a lot of attention for the wrong reason--the red is really loud. But hey that was my fault..the shoe itself is excellent.
