I've been running in New Balance shoes for 4 years now.  I love them.  My primary motivation for sticking with them is the availability and consistency of sizing, particularly for wide shoes. I got these 760s to replace my aging 77xs (I can't remember the exact number and I'm not at home to look at the old pair).  It's been a great switch, with these shoes providing all the stability and comfort that I'm used to. I've put over a hundred miles on them thus far and have no complaints.
